Don't do it. Pay your own bills and keep the fee to continue paying off your bills. Debt consolidations are just companies that take YOUR own money and pay YOUR debt with it.... yet, they charge you to do it. I'll be glad to consolidate all your bills for just $25 per month. The point is this.. why pay anyone what you can do yourself AND save money. Also, when you consolidate your bills, your credit scores will drop because you're pretty much dropping all your credit accounts just to get them paid off through one source. Debt Consolidation companies aren't rip-offs, they just make money when people are too afraid to pay what they can on their bills. Pay $5 a month... anything. But don't go digging into your pockets just to make the same payments... plus their fees.

Oh... I forgot to tell you this too..... Many of the Consolidation companies pay your bills late anyway and will screw your credit up even more.
