Debt consolidation is basically resorted to in the event of an individual having incurred multiple debts. It is to ease this burden of debt that one takes a fresh loan at possibly lower rates of interest and on flexible terms. Apart from the financial institutions which offer debt consolidation services, there are many independent agencies which offer free online debt consolidation opportunities. Some of these entities levy a certain charge as their fees per month which however does not impact the interest amount charged to the borrower.

For every organization which charges a fee as mentioned above there are a few that offer free debt consolidation and management services. They operate not for profit but however will either levy a token amount as fee or render services entirely free of charge. They are financially backed by a number of grants and private investors and can therefore pursue their mission of helping the debt burdened individual overcome his situation without reaping profits in the bargain.

These are essentially religious or quasi religious organizations, namely the free Christian debt consolidation agencies, which come to the fore as lenders to debtors with multiple debts. By virtue of the tenets of the religion, the free Christian debt consolidation agencies are far more charitable and understanding and offer low interest rates if not zero interest and flexible repayment terms. It is infinitely easier to approach them since they are in the business not to make money or for private gains but to bail people out of their debts and help them manage their money better. Moreover as their name suggests they offer services free of charge.

Free Christian debt consolidation loan companies because of their wealthy financial backers are a trusted source when it comes to debt consolidation loans. To know more, one can approach the local church or parish which may have a list of names and contact details of these free Christian debt consolidation organizations.

The Internet also interestingly throws up some instances of free online debt consolidation agencies. These agencies offer wide ranging counseling and advice on how to proceed with debt consolidation and management. The advantage with online sites is one can undertake comparison of rates and terms and also check out client testimonials before proceeding. However, as in all cases it is essential that the individual check the legitimacy of such organizations and how solvent they are before borrowing any consolidation loans.
