Year-end festivities in Naples are not for the faint-hearted. The locals’ idea of fun is to light illegal firecrackers and toss them from windows and rooftops in china pots.

These home-made mini-bombs are usually dubbed after weapons, film stars or football players as a sign of their potency. But the latest concoction marks a break from this naming tradition. A banger of reputedly monstrous strength, it is called “The Spread” after the difference in interest rates between 10-year Italian bonds and their benchmark German equivalent.

When something as obscure as the bond market has entered public language, you know that something big has happened.

The spread indicates the cost of a country’s borrowing: every percentage-point increase translates into a bill that can be billions of euros.

Taking out any kind of loan is a serious commitment, and it’s important not to make any firm decisions until you know all the facts.

A debt consolidation loan is no exception. It’s a new loan that could make repaying your current debts easier – as you’ll only have one monthly repayment to make to a single lender.

Here we’ll answer some of the most common questions about what consolidating your debts with a loan involves.

“What is a debt consolidation loan?”

It’s a new loan used to repay all your existing unsecured debts, such as credit cards, personal loans, overdrafts, etc. As a result, your multiple debts will be reduced into a single debt – the loan – which you would then start to repay with single monthly payments to just one lender.

If you’re looking for more information, this page may be able to answer some more of your debt consolidation questions.

“Why would I want to consolidate my debts?”
