Your actual payment reduction may vary depending on the APR and term of your home loan, the actual terms of your credit accounts, and how you make payments on those accounts.

Benefits and Risks of Debt Consolidation: The relative benefits of a debt consolidation loan depend on your individual circumstances and actual debt payments. You will save on interest payments when you pay the new, lower interest rate loan monthly in an amount equal to or greater than previous payments towards the higher rate debt(s) being consolidated.
Keep in mind, though, while your monthly payments will be lower, in the long term you may pay more interest if the debt is extended.
