Debt Consolidation
DEFINITION
Debt consolidation is the refinancing of several debts from different lenders into a single loan, usually with one lender and often at a lower interest rate.
ELI5
If you owe money to many places, debt consolidation puts those debts into one new loan, so you have one payment instead of many and may pay less interest.
