Milwaukee Credit Card Debt Consolidation

Debt consolidation is often advisable in theory when you're paying credit card debt. Credit cards can carry a much bigger interest rate than even an unsecured loan from a bank. In recent years, reports in the media have raised concerns about the use of consolidation loans. The worry is that many people are tempted to consolidate unsecured debt into secured debt, usually secured against their home. Although the monthly payments can often be lower, the total amount repaid is often significantly higher due to the long period of the loan. Debt consolidation sometimes only treats the symptoms of debt and doesn't address the root problem.
