Loans in General
A loan is a contract where one person transfers funds to another on the condition that it will be repaid, usually with interest. Sometimes, loans are accompanied by contracts such as mortgage or pledge, where property is given as security for the loan.

Loan Refinancing
Some loans become burdensome after unexpected events. Disability caused by disease or accident may impair your income, making the current loan payments too burdensome. An option available in this situation is to refinance your loan. New loans which replace current loans, sometimes with lower rates, are called refinance loans. They are offered by banks and finance companies that are willing to give less interest in return for your doing business with them. To obtain a refinance loan, consult a bank or an agent of a financial company. Many refinance companies have websites that offer quick calculators to estimate the interest rate on refinance loans.

How do Refinance Loans Work?
Refinance loans will function based on the leftover principal of your original loan. The original loan will be paid by the refinancing company, and you will be given a new loan. Because the principal will be lower, you will no longer need to pay as much money for each loan payment. The catch is that if your loan were payable in 30 years, your new loan will also be payable in an identical period. You will thus be in debt for a longer time, but the periodic payments will be less.

Refinancing Auto Loans
If you took out a loan on your car, it most likely is accompanied by a chattel mortgage. This means that your car can be repossessed if you fail to pay the loan. If the car loan payments are too high for you, refinancing your auto loan is a good idea. Once again, this may extend the period of payment, but it will decrease the amount of money to pay periodically.

Refinancing Mortgages
Mortgages often accompany housing loans. A housing loan accompanied by a mortgage is usually just referred to as a mortgage. It is also possible to refinance mortgages, and the effect is the same. You will pay a lesser amount periodically, but you will also end up paying longer.

Loan Refinancing Considerations
Loan refinancing is a serious matter. Refinance loans entail a sort of "reset" of your payment period. If you are already in your fifties, and you are considering loan refinancing, understand that you will be in debt for a greater period of time. Refinance loans ensure a less burdensome payment scheme, but it will be stretched out over a long period as well. If you plant to shorten that period, you will be given higher payments. Consider your ability to pay, and always consider how much longer you are willing to be in debt.
