Depending on how long you have been paying on your home, your monthly payment could go down considerably. That is because you have already paid off some of the principal amount that you owed on your loan. When you remortgage, the new loan will be for the balance that was owed on the home instead of the original amount. You are starting over with a new 30-year mortgage, so you are stretching the balance out over a longer period of time, so the payments go down.

If you can avoid accumulating additional debt after you remortgage, you can use the lower payment to help you pay off your other debts. Since your monthly payment is now less, you can use the difference between what your old mortgage payment and the new amount to pay off your other bills.

The best way to do that is to start with the bill that is smallest and pay extra on it each month until it is paid off. Then start on the next lowest bill and add the amount you were paying on the smallest bill to the next one. Every time you get a bill paid off, you do the same thing. Use the money you would have paid toward that bill on the next one on your list. Before long, you will have them all paid off and will have a lot more breathing room in your budget. Then you can start paying extra on your mortgage to get it paid off early and save on interest.

Another way to use a bad credit remortgage to pay off your debts is to do a cash out remortgage. Then use the money that you get back at closing to pay off your bills. This may be an option if you have enough equity in your home to cover your other debts.

The terms on a bad credit remortgage can be undesirable, but you may be able to use it to your advantage. If you can get out of debt and stay out as a result of remortgaging your home, you will be much better off in the long run.
