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 Eureka

Whether you work in healthcare, timber, hospitality, or port services, variable hours and high interest can stall progress. Consolidation can restore control—whether you live near Old Town, Cutten, or across the greater Eureka area.

Who we help

Consolidation may fit if you’re managing:

High-interest credit cards
Collections or charged-off accounts
Payday loans that renew or roll over
Medical bills and other unsecured debts

“Money Fit rolled my cards into one payment and secured lower rates—now my balance is shrinking every month.” — Lila, Eureka

“Our counselor aligned the plan with our paychecks, so late fees stopped and budgeting finally clicked.” — Thomas, Eureka

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-friendly payment schedule.

3. Creditor proposals — we work directly with creditors to request lower interest and fee relief.

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 moving
Frequent late fees or juggling due dates
Payday loans are crowding out essentials
You want a structured, nonprofit path to become debt-free

Renee’s turning point in Eureka

Renee works early shifts at a local clinic and picked up overtime at the harbor during peak season. When hours dipped, she leaned on two credit cards and a short-term loan to cover essentials.

After connecting with Money Fit, she consolidated eligible debts into one monthly payment. Her counselor sent proposals requesting reduced interest and waived fees through a Debt Management Plan—no new loan required.

Together they reviewed her budget, covering rent, groceries, and fuel for her commute. Her counselor suggested setting aside a modest $150 emergency fund and using simple cash categories to track weekly spending. Renee also paused new credit card use and arranged a payment plan with her clinic, which gave her the breathing room to focus on long-term stability.

Within a few statements, interest costs eased and payments began chipping away at principal. With autopay set, her calendar simplified and the stress eased.
