Hi Tony,
debt consolidation will only handle unsecured loans.A consolidation loan is the only way I know of to include secured loans.With a loan ,all your bills are paid off and you will have one monthly payment to the bank or loan company.If you put your unsecured debts in a consolidation program,they send out proposals to your creditors and try to get fees stopped and lower interest on all your debt.You send one monthly payment to the consolidation company and they inturn pay your creditors.The biggest advantage to consolidation is most creditors,after about three payments,will stop the late fees and lower the interest quite a bit.With a secured loan,a creditor can just take back what you defaulted on,so they are not willing to work with a consolidation program.If you register at this site,you will receive a free consulutation,and will receive some more advice.
