FreedomPlus Review: For Borrowers with Good to Excellent Credit

Why should you consolidate your loans with FreedomPlus?

• Low APRs if you have an excellent credit rating - An excellent credit rating is developed over a few years by keeping credit balances consistently low along with paying all bills on time. For those under this bracket, APR with FreedomPlus could be relatively low in comparison with some other lenders
• Potentially no origination fee - To confirm whether or not an origination fee will be required, you’ll have to go through the application process. If it’s deemed unnecessary, you could save thousands of dollars in fees over the course of the loan
• Long terms - The best thing about debt consolidation is the drastic reduction in monthly outgoings. The longer the terms, then (generally) the lower the monthly fee will be. With terms up to 5 years, there’s a strong chance you’ll see a considerable reduction in monthly outgoings
• No prepayment penalties - If you find yourself in the fortunate position of being able to settle the sum of your debt earlier than anticipated, this provider won’t charge for the ability to do so
• Offers direct payments - Unlike many industry competitors, FreedomPlus will pay business you have debts with directly. No longer will you spend hours each month dealing with paperwork and trying to figure out exactly what amount to pay to which company. If your account has sufficient funds, everything will be taken care of

Bottom line

FreedomPlus offers lengthy terms but sometimes charges too much for origination fees and late payments. A fantastic alternative would be Avant, as it offers terms up to 60 months and provides a helpful ‘soft check’ pre-qualifying application. Another excellent service is Upstart. Its low APRs and loans as high as $100,000 make it an option well worth your consideration.
