I'm thinking of consolidating my debt into one loan but I wonder if I have other options ... - hi, you've come to the right place and of course you do! You can do credit counseling or debt settlement - depending on your debt type (unsecured debt only), amount owed, and account status.

I'm thinking of consolidating my debt into one loan but I wonder if I have other options ... -- hi there, I just want to say that it's wise of you to ask for options, because I think that if one is already thinking about consolidating his/her debt via a loan, it must mean that his/her credit standing is already bad - and obtaining a loan to eliminate it - might make it worse. 1) that means fresh debt (additional) 2) the interest rate would bury the consumer even farther down

Debt relief programs instead of consolidating debt into one loan -- Credit Counseling (Debt Management Plan) - this is ideal for consumers with balances below $10k and with current accounts. - the agency would negotiate the interest rates so the consumers payments can be applied to the principal debt and not just the interest rates. The program runs for 3-5 years.

Debt relief programs instead of consolidating debt into one loan -- debt settlement -- this program is best for consumers with high debt amount, $10k and above, & whose accounts are past due or almost. The program's aim is to reduce the balance to more or less half and help the consumer be debt freewithin a year or three.

Debt relief programs instead of consolidating debt into one loan -- debt settlement (1-3 years) vs. credit counseling (3-5 years) - program length. I have also learned that the drop out rate in credit counseling is higher than debt settlement. And debt settlement's graduation number is higher than credit counseling's.
