Many consumers find that becoming debt free is difficult due to a series of unfortunate incidences that cause their money problems to mount. Through no fault of their own - financial help may be needed due to catastrophic stock market losses, costly accidents, job loss, emergency home or auto repairs, extended illness coupled with inadequate health insurance, rising credit card interest rates… and so on.
Debt consolidation, particularly if you still enjoy reasonably good credit, is the process of combining all of your outstanding bills into a single principal amount that allows you to pay off your creditors - and then make a single monthly payment that is usually lower than the combined sum of all the original component bills.
You can consolidate your debt with another unsecured loan - usually from a long standing good banking relationship or from a home equity debt consolidation loan - though we don't recommend the latter.
