What is debt consolidation?
Debt consolidation simply means bringing your debts together, so you can start making just one monthly payment - and dealing with just one company.
What are the benefits of debt consolidation?
- Make just one payment per month
- Arrange payments you know you can afford
- Stop 'juggling' multiple debts and multiple lenders
- Write off some of your debt (with certain debt solutions)
- Know exactly how much your debt will cost you per month
How can I consolidate my debts?
There are various ways:
- Debt consolidation loans
- Debt management plans
- IVAs (Individual Voluntary Arrangements)
- Trust Deeds (Scottish residents only)

Is consolidation right for me?
If you're juggling lots of different debts on credit cards, store cards and other loan or HP agreements, staying on top of your finances can be difficult - and unless you make every payment on time, you could end up racking up fees and charges and damaging your credit rating.
Debt consolidation could help you if:
- you're finding it hard to manage all your debts
- you're being charged for late payment/non-payment of your debts
- you have no idea when you will be debt-free
Keeping up with your debts can be time-consuming and stressful - but debt consolidation can make it much simpler, as well as cutting the cost of your monthly payments.
What's the best way to consolidate my debts?
Everyone's situation is different. There's no single 'best' way of consolidating your debts, but all the debt solutions on this page involve making just one payment per month - to just one company.
As with any financial service, you should never commit yourself to a debt consolidation solution until you've discussed your options with a debt adviser who can explain all the pros and cons.
