One of the bad credit situations in terms of interest and credibility is to have many loans on you and they are all unpaid. Debt consolidation is considered to be a solution to such a problem. Some people refer that it is not anymore profitable and may get any person into loss but I recommend consolidating this debt buy having a larger loan with provision of some collaterals and for a fix and lower interest rate. I have following points in favor of debt consolidation that will prove you the beneficence of such an act.

Lower Interest Rate
Yes, instead of paying so many smaller loans with relatively different interest rate, it is much easies and convenient to pay a single and lower interest rate. They will decrease this for you due to many reasons; for example; by providing collateral and asking for a mortgage for that is some kind of a secured loan. The creditor ‘s money is not in mush danger as you are allowing him to sale your house or any worthy thing to pay back the loan so interest rate will be lessened.
Then if the debtor is in some kind of bankruptcy or is highly likely to get into one, you can request and negotiate on a lower interest rate and that will make it easier for you to pay your income to the loan and not in the interest only.

Less Monthly Payment
This seems to be attractive to a debt-struck person but this is not an easy task. You have to think about the details and calculate the profit and total amount of payment to be made.
Less monthly payment is logically possible but not up to 50% or more. It is lessened for sure, but only because of lower interest rate or by having a bigger amount your duration of payment is lengthened. Before making any deal, do calculate the wholesome money in all payments in the required period of time.

Fixed Interest Rate
As you are a debtor to various companies with a wide range of interest rate you are paying depending upon your money and duration of debt. So to make it less complicated and incorporated into one lesser interest rate, it is more feasible to have a larger loan with a smaller interest rate, pay the rest of them and then handle only one debt.

So many may be the benefits of debt consolidation but the best way is to pay the monthly payments and other debts regularly so as not to get yourself trapped into such a thing.
