The most crucial thing you must do if you are under a seemingly insurmountable mountain of debt is to stop using credit. Destroy your credit cards and vow not to take on more debt until you have solved the problems you have right now. Settle what you can and then move on to the next option: debt consolidation.

Be cautious when choosing debt consolidation. There are a variety of ways to consolidate debt so be sure to choose the one that suits your needs. If you are a homeowner and have enough equity in your home to cover your debts, look into a home equity loan that has a lower interest rate than what you are currently paying.
