If you have too much credit card debt, you are going to have to do something about it. Sooner or later, it will catch up to you. Maybe you have known this for years and you’re just trying to avoid it. I know, because I’ve lived it. It’s hard dealing with the truth, but DEBT WILL EVENTUALLY FIND YOU!
I used to wonder, “what is Debt Consolidation?” The answer is complicated, but it’s basically this. You hire a company on your behalf to negotiate with your creditors a payment amount that they will accept. This amount will be substantially less that what you owe, but they will accept it.
That is what is more commonly referred to as DEBT SETTLEMENT. Because essentially, you are not paying the full amount that you owe, and your creditors is settling for less. And by doing this with all of your credit cards, you are “consolidating” your total debt into a settlement, payment plan. It works, and sometimes, ITS THE ONLY WAY OUT!
