Once you refinance a loan, you can’t reverse the process. It’s important to know the downsides before making a final decision. Some drawbacks of personal loan refinancing include:
- Higher interest charges if you choose a longer loan term
- Possible origination fees with your new lender
- Possible prepayment penalties with your old lender
- A small dip in your credit due to a hard credit pull (usually five points or fewer)
- Could switch to a lender with poor customer service (LendingTree user reviews can help prevent this)
