The problem.

A family with a $650k mortgage had accumulated $45,000 in credit card and personal loan debt over a difficult period.

The high 18-22% interest payments were causing missed payments, negatively impacting their credit score, and preventing them from getting a bad credit mortgage refinance from their existing bank.

How we solved it.

1
Leveraged home equityLeveraged the substantial usable equity in their Auckland property to restructure their overall financial position.
2
Sourced specialist lenderSourced a specialist lender willing to look past recent credit blemishes to offer a debt consolidation mortgage.
3
Absorbed high-interest debtAbsorbed the high-interest short-term debt into a single, manageable long-term mortgage loan.
4
Financial exit strategyCreated a clear financial exit strategy to transition them back to prime bank lending rates within 24 months once their credit score improved.

The result.

The debt consolidation drastically improved their cash flow by $850 per month.

This stopped the cycle of missed payments, prevented further credit damage, and put the family securely back on the path to financial freedom.

"We thought our bad credit history meant we'd lose the house. Consolidating our debt into our mortgage literally saved our family and our sanity."
