What is debt consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines eligible unsecured debts into a single, structured payment—without taking out a new loan. Through a nonprofit Debt Management Plan:

Make one monthly payment to the program.
We work with creditors to reduce interest and waive certain fees.
Focus on repayment and stability, not new borrowing.

Why consolidation makes sense in Tallahassee

Tallahassee’s economy, anchored in government, education, and healthcare, faces pressures from student loans and seasonal fluctuations. Steep APRs and compounding interest can trap balances. Consolidation offers structure and relief across neighborhoods like College Town and SouthWood.

Who we help

Consolidation may fit if you’re managing:

Credit cards and retail/store cards
Collections from utilities, telecom, or medical providers
Payday loans and other high-cost short-term debt
Medical bills and other unsecured balances

“Money Fit’s plan helped me manage post-grad debt—lower rates gave me room to breathe.” — Jordan, Tallahassee

“The counselor understood state employee pay cycles. One payment simplified everything.” — Renee, Tallahassee

How our program works

1. Free conversation — a certified nonprofit counselor reviews your income, expenses, and debts.

2. Personalized plan — if consolidation is a fit, we design a budget-aligned payment schedule.

3. Creditor proposals — we request interest reductions and fee relief directly with creditors.

4. One payment, ongoing guidance — you make a single monthly payment and receive support through completion.

When to consider consolidation

Minimums are getting paid but balances aren’t dropping
Frequent late fees or accounts slipping behind
Card promo rates ended and APRs jumped
You want a structured, nonprofit path to become debt-free

Ashley’s capitol city comeback in Tallahassee

Ashley, a legislative aide in Tallahassee, loved the capital’s oak-lined streets but struggled with credit card debt after graduate school loans and a cross-state move. State pay cycles and rising rent turned small expenses into persistent balances that overshadowed weekends at Cascades Park.

A coworker shared Money Fit’s program, and Ashley called for support. Her counselor tailored a Debt Management Plan to her biweekly deposits, negotiating lower rates that matched her public service income.

As balances declined, Ashley enjoyed FSU games with friends again. The program’s guidance helped her build savings for future goals, turning capitol stress into community pride.
