I have a question regarding the debt consolidation calculator that is available here. When I put in my numbers and it states that my debt can be reduced by 40-60%, is this for a starting point of beginning to pay off my bills...or is this the actual savings after everything is done with?
For instance...if you have 40,000 and the calculator shows that it will be reduced by 40% (16,000), does that mean that you will start the consolidation process at 24,000 and go from there?
I am not sure if I am explaining that correctly, but I hope so.
Thanks.
