A Reddit user posted about multiple credit card balances and said they were "so over the minimum payment trap" and worried they were "just paying interest and getting nowhere." The poster asked for advice on consolidation after years of managing several cards.
Many commenters said debt consolidation can help if it lowers the interest rate and combines balances into one payment. Others mentioned personal loans that merge several credit card balances into a single monthly payment. Some commenters referenced balance transfer offers that temporarily charge zero percent interest.
Several commenters stated that consolidation does not erase debt and only restructures existing balances. " Commenters also noted that personal loans may include setup fees and that balance transfer cards often carry transfer fees.
