The merger or combination of debts, whether they are credit card bills, medical bills, unsecured loans, or collection accounts, is known as debt consolidation. Consolidation of debts is done to simplify the task managing outstanding debt by making payments to a single creditor rather than several different ones. Various agencies, which have a special team of professionals, experts and advisors, provide debt consolidation services.

Persons looking to reduce their debt, secure a mortgage loan, avoid bankruptcy or simply free up extra cash may require debt consolidation services. Numerous agencies help people consolidate their debts either through debt consolidation loans or credit card debt consolidation. People can pay off their high interest credit cards, consumer loans, etc. with these loans, thus enabling them to consolidate their different debts into one easy, low interest monthly payment - i.e. simplification of various debts into one loan. Credit card debt consolidation is costly as it carries a high rate of interest. On the other hand, debt consolidation loans are preferable as they are cheaper and help increase a person's credit rating.

Due to the broadening of the financial market, the number of agencies and institutions offering debt consolidation services has rapidly increased. However, there are some of them who work on a non-profit basis, offering free debt consolidation services or debt solutions, with some pre-conditions, enabling debtors to consolidate their obligations at no charge. They also offer some of the best deals for debt consolidation loans, with low interest rates, low finance charges, and zero or low late fees through their connections with various banks and other financial institutions.

Debt consolidation services and loans are offered to almost everybody, even to people with bad credit scores. The process for securing a loan for debt consolidation starts with the calculation of the total amount of debt one needs to consolidate. Once this is done, the person can apply to various agencies that offer consolidating services. These organizations can be easily found on the Internet. The value of the collateral offered will determine the amount of loan that can be provided. However, like any other loan, a debt consolidation loan can also be taken without collateral. These agencies process applications for debt management and quote the amount of loan to be offered, along with other terms and conditions. This is known as a 'debt consolidation quote'.

Non-profit agencies offering debt consolidation services classify such services based on the need and purpose of the loan or according to the person's credit rating. These classifications include Bad Credit Debt Consolidation, Student Loan Debt Consolidation, Credit Card Debt Consolidation, and Debt and Bill Consolidation among others. The non-profit debt consolidation agencies also cater to student loan debt consolidation and bad credit debt consolidation.

Non-profit debt consolidation agencies work with the primary function of enabling debtors to achieve financial freedom by assisting them in getting debt consolidation loans. They help debtors resolve their financial obligations with integrity and simplicity, by restructuring their monthly payments and reducing or eliminating the interest rates and other related fees and costs.
