Your debts can be consolidated into your existing mortgage providing that there is enough equity in your home loan. The other option is simple merger of all your personal loans and credit cards into a new single personal loan.

If you do have a mortgage and enough equity, the first option is preferred as the interest rates are much lower than the personal loan option.

The main purpose of debt consolidation is to improve your financial situation and prevent debt problems in the future.

For consumers with bad credit rating file and many defaults, often the only option left is to sign up with a debt agreement company. In this case debt management company will renegotiate all your loans with your creditors and greatly reduce your overall debt. In some cases you will be required to pay only about 60% of what you originally owed. This means if the total amount of your original debt was $50,000, after the renegotiation your total debt will be reduced down to $30,000. At the same time the interest rate is dramatically reduced as well.

The last option available is bankruptcy. This option will wipe out all your personal loans and credit cards, you will not be required to pay a single cent on those debts. Consumers must be aware that a bankruptcy is a serious step and it will affect their credit rating for 7 years preventing them to obtain any new loans for this period.
