What is Debt Consolidation?
Debt consolidation can help get your finances healthy if you’re struggling to keep track of multiple bills or to make your payments on time.
Consolidating debt combines multiple sources of personal debt into one new monthly payment. You can also think of it as refinancing existing debt because you get a new interest rate that could help lower your monthly payment or save you money over the course of the new loan.
Types of debt you can consolidate include:
- Credit card balances
- Medical bills
- Home improvement expenses
- And more
Our free Loan Consolidation calculator can help you determine whether you should consolidate various loans and credit card debt:
