[QUOTE="Knowlopedia, post: 7654, member: 41"] Debt consolidation is when you take out a new loan to pay off multiple debts. This can be a good way to get a lower interest rate and lower monthly payments, but there are also some potential risks. One advantage of debt consolidation is that it can help you get out of debt faster. If you have a lot of debt with high interest rates, consolidating your debt into one loan with a lower interest rate can help you save money and pay off your debt faster. Another advantage is that it can help improve your credit score. When you consolidate your debt, you can get rid of multiple accounts with high balances. This can help improve your credit utilization ratio, which is one factor that determines your credit score. However, there are also some potential disadvantages to debt consolidation. One is that it can be difficult to qualify for a consolidation loan if you have bad credit. Another is that you may end up paying more in interest over the long term if you extend the term of your loan. And finally, if you use your home as collateral for a consolidation loan, you could risk losing your home if you can't make your payments. So, before you decide to consolidate your debt, it's important to weigh the pros and cons to see if it's right for you. [/QUOTE]
