Case Study - Debt Consolidation and Loan Refinancing

Mr & Mrs Angeloni purchased their family home with a mortgage approximately 12 months ago, however the value of their property has not increased significantly in this time. Their other financial commitments include two credit cards, a store card, a loan for a home computer and a personal loan for a swimming pool. 

Mr Angeloni fell ill for a long period of time which was not covered by insurance. Mrs Angeloni is a dedicated home maker, raising their three children, but not bringing an additional wage into the household.  They found they were not coping with their commitments having exhausted their savings to maintain debt repayments.  

These turn of events made it all but impossible for the Angeloni's to meet the repayments on their various financial commitments and they started to receive legal notices from their creditors demanding payment immediately.

AFS Debt Solution

Mr Angeloni contacted AFS.  Following a simple telephone call, an AFS consultant met with them the very next day and began working on their debt solution. 

AFS provided an independent assessment of the Angeloni's financial position and determined that loan refinancing was right for them. AFS then helped them to collate the necessary information to seek approval for the new loan on terms that suited their circumstances. 

AFS was able to refer the Angeloni's situation to the appropriate lending source and continued to work with them to achieve their best debt solution. 

What this meant for the Angeloni's was that within around 72 hours of the meeting, AFS were able to provide them with a debt solution, enabling them to reduce their monthly loan repayments from $5,185 to a much more manageable $3,241 per month. 

The AFS debt solution: 

  • The Angeloni's save $1,944 per month in repayments.
  • They paid all of their debt in full; bankruptcy was not a consideration.
  • They now have one easy loan repayment per month.
