A consolidation works by a client of a company receiving a loan from the consolidation company to pay off all overdue debts.

After all debts are paid the consolidation company makes a time payment agreement between them and the client, the time payment agreement will be customized in consideration with how much was borrowed, what the clients monthly income is, and required living expenses. This way the monthly bill to be paid will not be unaffordable enough as to where the client goes back into debt.

But if the client has other debts not being paid, or payments being missed on the consolidation loan the credit will decrease.
