Is Debt Consolidation Bad and Will It Hurt Your Credit Score?

I was asked this week by a client if debt consolidation was bad and my answer was resoundingly NO!  There are a number of myths surrounding debt consolidation, the largest one being that debt consolidation will hurt your credit.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  In fact, debt consolidation will often dramatically improve your credit score.  Credit is not only linked to how regularly you make your payments but also how much of your credit has been utilized.

Having said this debt consolidation is an opportunity to consolidate all of your payments into one loan and eliminate all of your balances on high interest cards and reduce the amount you have utilized against your cards limits.  It will also lower your overall monthly obligations making it easier to maintain payments, which will again dramatically increase your credit score.

Debt consolidation can not only be good for your credit rating but it can be good for the soul.  Imagine how liberating it would be to consolidate $10-$20-$30,000 in high interest credit card debt.  You could save thousands of dollars a month in interest payments and help restore you credit rating!
