You might be able to overcome some of the effects of the current economic recession through debt consolidation. As the recession continues, you may find yourself falling behind on mortgages, credit card payments, maybe even basic utility bills. Even if you do not suffer bankruptcy, falling behind on your payments is enough to damage your credit score. 35% of your credit score is determined by paying your bills on time, and another 30% is decided by how much debt you have. If you are beginning to struggle to make monthly payments on time, then you have the potential to damage as much as 65% of your credit score.
