on your plate, you might find some relief by taking out a consolidation loan. This will get you a single monthly payment and potentially a better interest rate, considering the sky-high credit card rates out there.
The only thing standing in your way is qualification. In most cases, you’re going to need a prime credit score of about 660 or higher to be eligible for approval. If your score is higher than this, you can expect a lower interest rate as well.
Pro tip: As with any other loan or big purchase, make sure to shop around with multiple lenders to identify the most competitive rates. If you apply to all lenders within a 14-day window, there will only be one hard inquiry on your credit report.
