If you have multiple debts, then you also get multiple bills every month. Keeping track of what you owe and to whom can feel like a moving target. Bill consolidation and debt management can combine your debts into one simplified monthly payment.
Bill consolidation can save you time and money. It can also simplify your debt repayment so it is less stressful to budget for what you owe.
Your bills are probably due at different times each month, and budgeting for different minimum payments on revolving balances can make it even harder to keep track of where your money is going.
If you are struggling to pay your bills, it's good to do a self-assessment with a debt service to figure out what debt and behaviors are causing you the most trouble.
Do you forget to pay your bills?
Forgetfulness is very common. If your bills are not set to auto-pay then it is surprisingly easy to miss a payment. If you can't set your bills to auto-pay because you may not have the money available, then your bills are probably too high.
Are your bills more than you can afford to pay?
People may seek bill consolidation because they can’t afford to pay the minimum payments on their debt. This problem can trap you in an endless loop of late fees and growing balances.
Are you only paying the minimum payments?
You might think you have your debts under control, but if you are only paying the minimum payments on revolving debt like credit cards or high-interest loans you are probably not making a lot of progress on your debt.
If any of these questions resonate with you, then it might be time to consider bill consolidation.

On top of the logistics of paying your bills on time, you are probably paying more in interest than you should. Each of your debts probably has a different interest rate and unique terms that affect how much you owe each month and how much the debt is costing you over time.
While the fractional differences in interest rates may not seem like a big deal, over the life of a loan, it can mean the difference between thousands of dollars!
The Benefits of Bill Consolidation Include:
Successfully consolidating your debt requires motivation and organization. Good candidates for bill consolidation typically:
Notice how we didn’t mention your credit score? Having good credit is definitely helpful in broadening your debt consolidation options, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. There are plenty of options available to people with fair, poor, or even bad credit. In fact, consolidating your debt and implementing a regular repayment plan, and other good habits can help your credit recover over time.
If you have good credit and a steady income, you should find it fairly easy to get a bill consolidation loan. Shopping for a loan means looking for a loan that is an improvement on the terms of your existing debts.
