on your plate, you might find some relief by taking out a consolidation loan. This will get you a single monthly payment and potentially a better interest rate, considering the sky-high credit card rates out there.
The only thing standing in your way is qualification. In most cases, you’re going to need a prime credit score of about 660 or higher to be eligible for approval. If your score is higher than this, you can expect a lower interest rate as well.
As with any other loan or big purchase, make sure to shop around with multiple lenders to identify the most competitive rates. If you apply to all lenders within a 14-day window, there will only be one hard inquiry on your credit report.
Since you have two car loans out, make sure you’re not overpaying for your car insurance.
