What is a Debt Consolidation Loan, You Ask?
Imagine this: you owe money to a bunch of different creditors, each with their own interest rates that make your head spin.

This means you'll be dealing with one monthly payment instead of ten, simplifying your life and potentially saving you money in the long run.
