The relative benefits of a loan for debt consolidation depend on your individual circumstances and your actual debt payments. You will realize interest payment savings when you make monthly payments toward the new lower-interest-rate loan in an amount equal to or greater than what you previously paid toward the high-rate debt(s) being consolidated. To prevent repeating the same adverse debt scenario in the future, don't add new balances to the credit accounts being consolidated.
