Types of Debt ConsolidationThere is really only one definition of debt consolidation, as explained here. Another alternative commonly referred to as debt consolidation however, is called debt management or debt settlement.With debt settlement, a third party negotiates with your creditors on your behalf to reduce the amount you pay to your creditors. It works similarly, but the company that arranges the debt settlement doesn't actually 'buy' your debt, they simply negotiate better payment terms and collect the money on your behalf to disperse to your outstanding creditors. Some companies and organizations offer both services. Debt consolidation loans typically require collateral of sorts (a good option for homeowners), whereas debt management services can usually be acquired with little or no collateral. Shop around and see what's best for you. The bottom line is who can get you the lowest monthly payments/best payment terms, and that won't always be the same company depending on your situation and what's available to you.
