Are you avoiding opening your credit card bills each month because you can no longer afford to make the minimum payments? Are you tired of juggling which bills to pay and which to put off each time you get paid?
If this sounds like your situation, you should consider debt consolidation to combine all of your outstanding balances into one simple repayment plan. Through debt consolidation, you can eliminate the stress of being behind on your monthly bills and also save a substantial amount of money on interest.
However, before you decide if debt consolidation is right for you, know that it can have a major impact on your credit rating. Each time you apply for a new credit account to consolidate your debt, you will have a “hard inquiry” on your report that can lower your credit rating by up to five points. Be cautious of how many times you attempt to apply for a loan or balance transfer because too many inquiries in a short period can damage your credit rating and label you a risk to future lenders.
