Frequently asked questions

Should I use a personal loan to consolidate debt in Prosperity?

Consolidation can simplify repayments and may lower the interest you pay, but only if you stop adding new balances. Compare the consolidation rate with your current average rate before deciding.

What if I am denied a loan in Prosperity?

Ask the lender for the reason, check your credit report for errors, and consider a credit union or a smaller loan. A denial is not permanent, and a nonprofit credit counsellor can help you plan.
