What are the advantages and disadvantages of debt consolidation?
jimmyaven asked:
I have two credit cards that I have used over 5 years ago and never paid back. The total of the two cards FIVE YEARS AGO was $1000. Of course, by now, it should be close to $3000 because of all the interests.

What does debt consolidation do? More importantly, can it REALLY remove or reduce the interest that built up over the last 5 years?
When doing a search for debt consolidation services, I get THOUSANDS of results. Which debt consolidation services are better?
Detailed answers would be appreciated.
Update: Am I correct to assume that if I leave the debt as it is, I can have it completely wiped off my credit card two years from now as if it never happened?

Will closing ym credit cards help me get approved for a debt consolidation loan?
Zeke asked:
I have tried to get approved for a debt consolidation loan so I could have my credit cards and school loan under one monthly payment rather than juggling several payments but I get denied because I have too much credit in my name right now. If I close all the credit cards will this help me get a loan approved? It would make life so much easier if I just had 1 steady monthly payment.

should my husband and i settle our debt or should we go through a debt consolidation?
cindi_chean asked:
We are about $2300.00 in debt with alliance one and i think $900.00 in capitol one. We have a debt consolidation with Federated Financial. But I was thinking that maybe we should just settle with both of the debts ourselves because federated financial charges $29.00 a month and it will take us like 3 years to pay it off, if we go through them. What is the best choice?
