Getting a personal loan
The personal loan market is mature and growing, with many established players. While personal loans offer predictable payments and often lower interest rates than credit cards, significant pain points exist around qualifying, high interest rates, hidden fees, and the complexity of the application process, especially for those with fair or no credit history. The risk of worsening debt post-consolidation is also a concern.

"For my plumbing work I did end up getting a personal loan that had relatively high interest (I think 8 or 9% but I don't know off the top of my head)."
"Has anyone had luck getting a personal loan with a ~600 credit score?"
