By doing so, you can give yourself room for other expenses and financial goals, like saving for a new home, paying for your child\u2019s education, or covering other debts with higher interest rates. Here are three ways you may be able to lower your loan payments.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>1-Refinance\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When you <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.onemainfinancial.com\/resources\/loan-basics\/how-to-refinance-a-personal-loan\"  rel=\"noopener\">refinance a personal loan<\/a><\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, you replace one existing loan with one from the same or a different lender. The goal is to qualify for a lower interest rate and monthly payment.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If your credit score has improved since you took out your current loan, you want better rates and more favorable terms, or you\u2019d like to repay your loan faster, refinancing could be worth considering. It\u2019s a good idea to shop around and explore refinancing options from various lenders, including the present one, to increase your chances of finding the best rate and most favorable terms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2-Change your loan term\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can speak to your lender and find out if they\u2019ll let you extend your loan term. Remember that while this method could reduce your monthly payments, it is likely to increase the total amount of interest you pay over the extended life of your loan. However, if you need extra cash each month to shift other obligations, it may make sense for you.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3-Consolidate your debt\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If you have multiple debts and want to streamline the payoff process, you can consolidate them into a single loan with a potentially better interest rate. You\u2019ll only have one monthly payment and won\u2019t have to keep track of multiple due dates.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can consolidate your debt through a personal loan or a balance transfer offer on a new or existing credit card. However, before you go this route, do the math and make sure it makes financial sense. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Lower payments are possible<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:360,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With a bit of effort and creativity, you could reduce your loan payments to give yourself more breathing room for other financial goals. Make sure you consider all the strategies above to determine which one is right for your unique needs and situation.
