Bad Credit Debt Consolidation Tips
Why should I consolidate my debt?
Consolidating debt is very often a wise move to lowering your monthly payments. Often, too much debt and too many monthly payments to keep up with can be the ultimate reason for one's bad credit.

Where credit cards and other unsecured loans charge interest rates often in excess of 20%, debt consolidation loans can offer much more reasonable interest rates. In addition, all those monthly payments can become 1 easy to manage monthly payment.
Will I pay a higher interest rate if I have bad credit?
