Here’s the E-LOAN debt consolidation commercial you may have seen on TV.

I recently purchased a home (3 months ago) and financed 100% of the home. At this point I do not have an equity in the home. I am currently looking for a way to consolidate some of my debt to lower my rate, lower my payment, and ultimately pay off the debt sooner. I have 1 car loan, 1 personal loan, and 5 credit/store cards that I would like to consolidate totaling about $16,600. My FICO score is currently 686, and I am on time every month with all of my bills. I have paid all bills on time (most of the time more than the minimum) for more than 3 years straight. My problem is that my Debt to Income ratio is probably too high for most lenders to consider me for a consolidation loan. What can I do to consolidate ALL of my debt? Any feedback would be appreciated.
Debt consolidation loans are usually a rip-off, extending loans way out and you end up paying a lot more in interest, plus the loan origination fees increase the amount owed.
Instead:
Transfer credit card debt to lower interest rate cards, some will give you 0% for a transfer. Do this before deciding which one has the highest interest rate to pay off first.
Pay at least double the minimum monthly payment on the credit cards and car loan. This extra will go entirely towards the principal, and reduce the debt a lot faster.
Pay off the highest interest rate credit card (or loan) first.
It is also a good idea to pay extra principal on your house, to reduce the interest and increase the equity.
Sell the car and get a used one that costs less if you have to.
Destroy your credit cards and don’t use them again, instead get a credit/debit card that pays interest and cash back for any charges. So you make money when using it instead of pay money.
Better credit leads to better interest rates and a raise in credit score. Learn about raising a credit score from a registered financial consultant (RFC) in this free personal finance video.

I have about $6,500 worth of debt, my income after taxes is about 21,000 a year. Most of my creditors have closed my accounts (all of my credit is maxed out). I recently got my FICO score and it is 529 (very, very poor). I have called some companies that specalize in debt consolidation and I have been told that I do not have "enough debt". I talked to a professional about bankruptcy and was advised against filing because I do not have "enough debt". I am a renter, and do not have any assets that could be held for collateral. With my credit score being the way it is, and closed accounts on my credit record… what are my options?
You don’t need anyone to do it for you. All they do is negotiate your debts for you and collect a fee. You can do it yourself!
Call all of them and work out a payment plan and try to get your interest lowered or stopped.
Then, make the minimum payments on every one of them. On the lowest dollar value, put all your extra effort toward paying it off. Once it is paid off, then roll that extra money to the next largest balance. Continue this snowball until all your debts are paid off.
You proabbly need to cut your expenses back to the bare minimum. Get rid of cable, cell phones, internet, etc. Lower your electric bill, gas bill, water bill, etc. Don’t eat at a restaurant until your debts are under control.
Try to increase your income by getting a second job. If you have a car with payments, get rid of it, and buy a good dependable used car for CASH.
Go to the library and get "The Total Money Makeover". Read it and follwo it carefully.

I have 3 different credit cards that now have over 20% interest rates because I was late on one payment. I have heard that Christian debt consolidation might be a better option than regular, but I want to make sure I select a company that is reputable.
I get this question a lot. I have personally reviewed over 50 different programs and have enrolled my credit cards in 7 of them just to test them out for the readers of my blog. Of the 7 I have tested, 2 of them have been Christian debt consolidation. It is virtually the same service but based on Christian principles. So, to answer your second question, I would say "yes" if you feel that sort of service will help you stay in the program and interact with the support staff.
Here is the best site I have come across:
ChristianDebtConsolidation.com
http://www.christiandebtconsolidation.com
Having a domain name that cannot simply be bought for $8 on Godaddy should be the first indicator that the site is legit.
