How Does Debt Consolidation Work?

What’s a debt consolidation loan?
A debt consolidation loan allows you to borrow money and pay off a variety of other debts, including things like high interest credit cards, medical bills or personal loans. By rolling these debts under a single consolidation loan, you only need to make one monthly payment instead of paying multiple bills on different dates throughout the month.
