How to read a borrowing offer

[Charlesnub]

A consolidation loan replaces selected debts with a new repayment agreement. Compare the remaining cost of the existing balances with the full cost of the replacement, including any fees. A smaller monthly payment can result from a longer term rather than a lower total cost. Check which balances will be paid, how payment is handled and whether the proposed loan introduces collateral.
