What Is a Debt Consolidation Loan?

A debt consolidation loan is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a loan that consolidates, or combines, your debts under a single account. Some potential benefits of debt consolidation include:

• Potentially lower interest rates, especially if you now have the credit score to consolidate high-interest loans under better terms.
• A single payment, making it easier to manage your finances.
• Your debt possibly spreading out over a greater amount of time, making each monthly payment more affordable.
