For consumers who still manage to pay their monthly payments and have stable, earning ability, finding help from an online debt consolidation source may be the best debt elimination strategy. While debt settlement can wipe out total debt through negotiations with credit card companies, there is still a liability in many cases with debt settlements. A debt settlement can still leave damaged credit while the debt consolidation option can leave a consumer's credit intact and eventually wipe out all debt. Online debt consolidation sources offer debt elimination strategies through debt consolidation that can wipe out debt within 3-5 years in the best cases.

Online debt consolidation companies can help a consumer develop a pay off plan through assuming one, consolidation loan that can be used to pay off all unsecured debt. A debt consolidation loan pays all debt off with one lump sum, and the consumer is left with only one, monthly payment instead of the previous multiple payments. An online debt consolidation company can contact all credit card companies and can sometimes negotiate a lower interest rate for pay off. Even though a consumer will still pay the debt off completely, the savings in interest on monthly payments can be significant. Usually the overall interest rate charged for the one debt consolidation loan is lower than the combined monthly credit card payments.

An online debt consolidation company can advise you on the best debt consolidation loan rates you can receive as well as the best pay off terms. Sometimes a debt consolidation loan will take more than the typical 3-5 years to pay off, depending on the amount of unsecured debt there is to pay off. There are many online debt consolidation sources available to help consumers with a debt consolidation strategy including non-profit agencies. It is good to note that the non-profit agencies receive a portion of consumer consolidation pay offs that they negotiate for credit card companies, which may or may not be favorable to consumers. "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." (Psalms 23:1)
