Debt consolidation companies vary in what types of consolidating solutions they offer. There are debt counseling companies, debt settlement and negotiation companies and debt management companies.

Debt Counseling - Debt counseling companies offer, usually, non-profit services to help you reduce the amount you owe on your debts. However this service may hurt your credit ranking. Talk to the company and find out if what they do will affect your credit ranking.

Debt settlement and negotiation - This is a process where a company will negotiate a lower payment or lower amount owed to the lender, on your behalf. Sometimes this can hurt your credit also. Debt settlement companies vary in their techniques. Before you choose a company, make sure you read through some reviews about that company before you start.

Debt Consolidation - Debt consolidation is where you take out a new loan in order to consolidate and pay off all existing debt. This usually lowers your overall payments and reduces the amount your paying every month. Not only does debt consolidation not hurt your credit, but it can actually help it.
