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 Fresno

Seasonal work, variable shifts, and rising essentials can make progress tough. If high interest and scattered due dates are holding you back, consolidation can restore control—whether you live near the Tower District, Fig Garden, or across greater Fresno.

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 organized my cards into one payment and negotiated rate cuts—my balance is finally shrinking.” — Rosa, Fresno

“Our plan matched our pay cycle, late fees stopped, and we’re moving forward again.” — DeAndre, Fresno

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

Victor’s step forward in Fresno

Victor splits time between warehouse shifts and evening classes. When hours dipped, two credit cards and a small-dollar loan filled the gap—but fees piled up and balances barely moved.

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

Together they went over his budget in detail, making sure tuition, rent, and transportation fit within his plan. Victor paused new credit use, set up a small $200 emergency cushion, and began tracking expenses weekly. His counselor also helped him set payment reminders and adjust due dates to match pay cycles, giving him more breathing room. For the first time in months, he felt in control of both his studies and his finances.

Within a few statements, interest costs eased and payments started cutting into principal. With autopay set, the calendar simplified and the stress lifted.
