Frequently Asked Questions
What is debt consolidation?
Debt consolidation combines multiple debts (credit cards, loans, etc.) into a single loan with one monthly payment, ideally at a lower interest rate. This simplifies payments and can save money on interest.
Does debt consolidation hurt your credit?
Initially, a hard inquiry may slightly lower your score. However, consolidation can improve your credit over time by reducing credit utilization and establishing a consistent payment history.
When is consolidation a good idea?
Consolidation makes sense when you can get a significantly lower interest rate, you have a plan to avoid accumulating new debt, and the total cost of the consolidation loan is less than your current debts.
