    I think the banks saying no to this type of debt consolidation is quite new - however the fact that they're right in doing so is not. :)

    Agreed. Cashing out and paying 15k more over 30 years for $300+ monthly cashflow may infact be the responsible thing to do! Leaving someone paying hefty monthly repayments instead of significantly increasing cashflow could be the thing that causes someone to default?

    And let's take it another step forward. Is it responsible to give someone a 30 year loan if they have significant income and monthly surplus? Why aren't assessor saying "you could pay this off in 15 years instead of 30" so responsible lending says you must have a shorter term to drastically decrease your interest paid.

    I know that's a bit more far fetched but same kind of principle. The assessor said no because long term it's a higher cost.
