Debt Consolidation is a personal loan you apply for in an amount that will pay off all or some of the existing debts that you wish to get paid. The lender will review your credit and verify your income to ensure your qualification. Once the lender approves your loan, the interest rate will be set based on your credit score. The money from the loan will be used to pay off all or some of your existing debts. It can make your life easier as you only have to repay the consolidation loan with a one monthly payment.
