Ways to Consolidate Debt

Once you make the decision to get rid of your debt, you'll probably start doing some research to see how it can be done. Most people choose to consolidate debts through a debt consolidation program, by getting a debt consolidation loan or a debt consolidation mortgage or by transferring their balances to a 0% balance transfer credit card. The 0% balance transfer card is usually the first choice, but you have to do some research to find a 0% card with a long 0% introductory period, no annual fee and no balance transfer fees. Then, you have to make sure the credit card company will give you a high enough credit limit that all your other balances can be transferred to that card. Still, with the advent of the Internet (or even by phone) this is a good way to consolidate debt quickly. Although it can take three to six weeks for the new credit card company to get all the balances transferred, if you're diligent enough to pay off the balance in full during the introductory period (usually a year at the most) then you've definitely found the best way to consolidate debt quickly.

If you choose to consolidate debt quickly by enrolling in a debt consolidation plan, your debts can get consolidated faster. What happens when you consolidate debt in this manner is that a debt consolidation professional will contact your creditors to get your interest rates and balances reduced. Then they combine all those new, lower balances and you make a single monthly payment to the debt consolidation company. They distribute that payment among your creditors and you can be out of debt in five years. (Sure, the repayment period is longer than it would be if you transferred your balances to a 0% card, but some people don't have that option.)

Debt consolidation loans or mortgages are another good way to consolidate debt quickly. This is because you get a check to pay off all your unsecured debts at once. Then you're free and clear with your creditors, but you still have to pay back that money. If you go the route of a debt consolidation loan, you will have the loan paid off in five years. If you go the debt consolidation mortgage route, you pay back that money over the life of your mortgage.

Any of these choices are a good way to consolidate debt quickly. Just take your time mulling over which one is best for you.
