Cons:
Get Into More Debt. It may be tempting to continue to use the credit cards that you’ve paid off. This is one of the reasons why debt consolidation is not a cure for credit problems. In fact, it could actually make problems worse, by allowing a person to get into more debt than they started with.
May Cost More Overall. Even though the monthly payments and interest rate might be lower, you can end up with a longer-term loan in which you end up paying more interest in the long run.
May Take Longer to Pay Off. If you don’t end up using the extra monthly savings to pay off your loan (and perhaps even if you do), it could take you longer to get out of debt.
Could Lose Your Home. If you go the route of a home equity loan, the lower interest rate that comes from listing your home as security might not be that beneficial if you default on your loan and lose your home.
One Payment. In some cases, it can be beneficial to pay off smaller loans with higher-interest rates first. You don’t have that option if you’ve lumped all your debt into a single loan.
May not Qualify for a Loan. It’s possible that with so much debt, you may not qualify for an additional loan. Or, if you do qualify, the interest rate might be high.
Disreputable Debt Consolidation Companies. Not all non-profit debt consolidation services are looking out for your best interests. Make sure you read Debt help that isn’t – some companies may be downright scams.

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.
