Ok so im about $6500 in debt. I have a credit score of 696 the last time I checked but recently have had a very bad run of jobs. I am now with a GREAT company (Alltel) and bring home about $2000-$3000 depending on sales. But right now im at the point to where I cannot keep up with my credit card bill, loans and unpaid debts. I need to try and get all of my bills (About 10) into 1 easy payment. Over maybe a couple years time. (Not including car payment or insurance.)

I was considering debt consolidation but then was told that my credit will be ruined and I definitely dont want that to happen but I may if theres no other alternative.

If I look into bank loans where should I try? I have a credit score of 696 but cant even get a department store credit card.

Debt consolidation refers to consolidation of one’s multiple debts into one single debt. This enables the borrower to repay to just one creditor instead of several creditors, thus making the job a lot more convenient. Also, the rate of interest is greatly reduced and hence this is a viable option. It is considered extremely effective when dealing with several debts as well as a bad credit history.

The amount that can be borrowed with a debt consolidation loan varies from £5000 to £75000 or greater, depending on the equity of one’s home. As can be guessed, a debt consolidation loan, which is usually secured, can even be of unsecured type with a higher rate of interest. The repayment term for a debt consolidation loan is 3 to 25 years, depending on the amount in question and the repayment capacity. To get the best debt consolidation loan, one needs to put in ample research. This research work is minimized if it is done online. Ready comparisons are available between different debt consolidation loan giving agencies and the process can be extremely convenient. All one needs to do is to fill out a form on the basis of which a credit score is calculated. This credit score determines the rate of interest that one might have to pay. The better the credit score, the better the interest rate.

The approval for a debt consolidation loan can take up to 12 to 15days. Once the value of the collateral is judged, the loan approval is swift.

Also, being secured loans, the rate of interest involved is much lower and the repayment term is much longer thus ensuring small repayment installments. This improves the credit score because timely payments are made possible. The rate of interest may vary from 7.9% to 15.9%.Bad credit is not much of a problem with respect to a debt consolidation loan as there are many agencies that specialize in working with people with a bad credit score. Debt consolidation loans can help people with a bad credit deal with their financial issues. These debt consolidation loans help one deal with multiple debts, bad credit and help manage one’s debts and improve finances. One must however make sure that the loan amount is affordable and that it can be repaid on time. Debt consolidation loans are very helpful, but you must take only as much as you need.
