Debt Consolidation
Debt consolidation is one way to tackle loans and personal credit card debt you accrue.
Many people carry multiple credit cards, each with its own balance and interest rate. Often, it makese more sense to consolidate many debts into one single debt, as you may lower your rate and avoid some service fees on multiple accounts.
There are, however, several different ways to approach debt consolidation and a few tricks to know.

Debt Consolidation Loans
Debt consolidation loans offer the opportunity to roll all of your debts into one loan. Instead of paying several different card companies or banks, you take out a larger loan to pay off all of the smaller loans. It's incredibly important to make sure that the rate of the loan you get is lower than the overall rate you were paying on all of the loans you are consolidating, otherwise, consolidating your debt will just lead to more debt!
