How much money would debt consolidation save me?

I've seen that a few companies consolidate payday loans. I got a question for y'all: I owe about 4K to about 10 different payday loan companies and I'm currently paying each about $50 per month, $25 per pay day just to appease 'em. But, after looking over everything, I find that I'm streching myself close to the max. I can handle it, but do I really have to strain myself just pay them back so fast?. $50 doesn't sound like much, but that is $500 per month. I was thinking about cutting nine of 'em down to $25, and making headway by paying the 10th $150. This way I'd have an extra $125 to live on and still be able to pay these things off. I'd do this because I've paid these loans off in interest alone for the most part and I really don't want them to continue having this stranglehold over me. Question: If I went through a company like T&C, could they make better payment arrangements? Is it best to pay the creditor myself and leave the middle man out? Based on what I owe, could some of you who've actually used debt consol let me know how much I'd be looking at if I did go that route? Thanks.
