What are the advantages and disadvantages of debt consolidation?
I have two credit cards that I have used over 5 years ago and never paid back. The total of the two cards FIVE YEARS AGO was 00. Of course, by now, it should be close to 00 because of all the interests.
What does debt consolidation do? More importantly, can it REALLY remove or reduce the interest that built up over the last 5 years?
When doing a search for debt consolidation services, I get THOUSANDS of results. Which debt consolidation services are better?
Detailed answers would be appreciated.
Update: Am I correct to assume that if I leave the debt as it is, I can have it completely wiped off my credit card two years from now as if it never happened?
