The average American family now has over $10,000 in credit card debt, according to recent reports. Many of these families carry the debt over a number of high interest credit cards. If you carry a considerable amount of debt from month to month on different credit cards, you may benefit from credit card debt consolidation.

While the typical loan consolidation is done to lower interest rates or lowers the monthly payments by increasing the life of the loan, credit card debt consolidation is different. Credit card debt typically does not have a specified amount of time in which it needs to be paid back; you cannot lower your monthly payments by simply moving the debt around. There are a few benefits to credit card debt consolidation.

  • You may be able to consolidate from a higher interest credit card onto a lower interest card. Decreasing your APR on the outstanding balance can significantly decrease your monthly payments, interest payments and the amount of time it takes to pay off your credit card debt.

  • The monthly payment may be lower if you have all of your balance on a single credit card. Some cards require lower monthly payments than others.

Bear in mind, if you are moving $2,000 debt from one card with a 15.8% interest rate to another with the same rater, there is not going to be a savings in the amount of interest you are paying on a monthly basis.

So if you determine that credit card debt consolidation is going to benefit you, the steps are relatively simple.

  1. Contact the company that holds the card that you wish to move the credit card debt to. The easiest way to do so is by visiting the company website online. Check out the company's website and search for the section of how to complete a balance transfer.
