The Challenge

Despite working full-time, the financial fallout of a relationship breakdown left Kath trapped with unmanageable shared debts and limited refinancing options.

Relationship Breakdown

A difficult separation left Kath to navigate a single-income household while managing debts originally intended for two incomes.

Sole Liability

Although the financial burden was previously shared, the mortgage and several personal loans were solely in her name, leaving her legally responsible for the full amounts.

Damaged Credit Score

The sheer strain of juggling multiple high-interest repayments took a toll on her credit file, making traditional financial solutions difficult to access.

Refinancing Roadblocks

Because of her impaired credit history, mainstream lenders were reluctant to help her refinance the family home, leaving her stuck on high interest rates.

The Solution

After reviewing Kath’s situation, we identified that a strategic debt reduction and specialist consolidation loan would provide the financial reset she needed.

Comprehensive financial assessment

We evaluated Kath’s complete financial picture, including her income as a Personal Assistant, her mortgage, and the multiple unsecured personal loans.

Practical guidance

We provided a clear, non-judgemental overview of her options to bypass traditional lending roadblocks, address her damaged credit score, and structure a realistic path forward.

Tailored solutions

We leveraged our network to find a specialist lender willing to consolidate her multiple unsecured debts into a new, manageable home loan.

Complete transparency

We ensured Kath understood the exact terms of her new consolidated mortgage, her much lower overall interest rate, and the timeline for regaining her financial independence.

Why this approach worked

Getting started is easy and straightforward

Reason 1

Significant Debt Reduction

By successfully negotiating with her unsecured creditors, we reduced Kath’s personal loan obligations by approximately $30,000. This instantly removed a massive portion of her financial burden and reduced the total principal she needed to refinance.

Reason 2

Secured Lower Interest Rate

Instead of paying high, compounding interest rates across several personal loans, Kath’s remaining debt was rolled into a single home loan. This transitioned her debt to a much lower mortgage interest rate, drastically reducing her required monthly output and making her finances manageable on a single income.

The Result

Kath successfully consolidated her debts into a new home loan, instantly reducing her unsecured debt by approximately $30,000. This outcome bypassed her previous refinancing roadblocks, lowered her overall interest rate, and provided a realistic, stress-free framework for her to regain complete financial independence.

I am extremely satisfied with the service Kylie provided. When I first came to you, I was struggling feeling frustrated, depressed and carrying so much stress. There were times during this past month that I felt like giving up, going through so much left me with little energy or drive to keep gathering documents and moving forward. But I am so deeply grateful Kylie was there every step of the way. She patiently guided me, walked me through every part of the process, and gave me 100% support exactly when I needed it most. Thanks to her care and dedication, I was finally able to get everything sorted and signed off today. I truly recommend this service to anyone needing help. Thank you so much, Kylie Bennison keep up the amazing work! Honestly, you deserve a gold medal for the difference you’ve made. I appreciate you more than words can say 🙏🏽✨
