Question 1

Does restructuring debt save money?

Accepted Answer

It can, if the new rate is well below your current one and you don't extend the term too far. The calculator shows the interest difference.

Question 2

Will restructuring lower my payment?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, through a lower rate or longer term, but a longer term can raise total interest even as the monthly payment falls.

Question 3

What's the risk of restructuring debt?

Accepted Answer

Stretching the term can increase total interest, and it works only if you stop adding new debt. It addresses the balance, not the spending habit.
