Debt consolidation man 2

When Simon was first referred to Unity, it was obvious that his level of debt was starting to weigh on his mind.  Simon was struggling to see a positive outcome for his financial situation. With $4,110 owed to various debt facilities every month, even paying for everyday essentials was becoming a challenge.

In fact, when the initial request to incorporate all Simon's lending didn't meet the current requirements, our team reworked the application to see how we could better assist.

The final outcome was a reduced loan amount of $2,140 per month; making a significant impact on his money management and outgoings, and giving him greater peace of mind for the future.

How Unity helped Simon:

  • Customer goal:  Improve cash flow and personal wellbeing; tidy up debt facilities

  • Current debt: Personal loans with Unity and Avanti; credit card with SBS; store cards with Farmers, Q Card and The Warehouse

  • Approved by Unity: $46,000 personal loan over a 7-year term at 14.90p.a. unsecured
