Yasar, please don't take any of my comments personally they are not meant that way. I'm simply replying to the thread topic in general.

Okay, that being said.......

You can't get out of debt by borrowing money.

This is a concept the United States Government just can't seem to grasp.

Borrowing money on one's home to payoff other debt is a receipe for disaster.

Many people get these type loans, payoff all their credit cards, then run them right back up again only to dig themselves deeper into debt.

I'll say it again........

I agree with Gary.

If you take out one loan to pay off another loan you just move the debt around but you still have the debt.

Good point.

It may be worth moving debt around if you can get a better interest rate. That being said, I am very reluctant to tie any kind of debt (other than mortgage) to my house. I'm just paranoid I guess.

Well said Gary... To take it one step further, avoid the initial debt in the first place and you will not be in a position to have to move it around.

Good points here.

Secured debt consolidation can sometimes be one of the worst things you can do. And it really handcuffs you if you do eventually have to file bankruptcy.

You see, unsecured debt gets wiped clean if you file for bankruptcy. Secured debt, however, has to be repaid back.

If you do decide to do a secured debt consolidation, make sure you know all the fees involved AND that there is going to be considerable financial advantages to doing so. You may save in interest charges, and pay in other ways. Do careful research.

Gary has said it all. I wish everyone in the world and in the US in paricualr can grasp this basic truth. You can never get things right by doing it wrongly. NO, it is not possible.

I agree with gary.
If you take loan to pay another that is not called you're out of debt. The best thing is to put initial debt in control which will prevent you from commiting another mistake in future.
