4. Some debt consolidation companies also offer additional reduction rates at 1% a year if you are regular at your payments for consecutive two years.
5. Consolidation can also lower your payment by combining loans.
6. With consolidation of the loan the payoff gets accelerated within a reasonable period and does not elongate the loan for the full period.
