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 Jacksonville

Jacksonville’s economy, driven by logistics, military, and healthcare, faces pressures from port-related fluctuations and high insurance costs. Steep APRs and compounding interest can trap balances. Consolidation offers structure and relief across neighborhoods like San Marco and Arlington.

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 after a deployment—lower rates gave me a fresh start.” — Brandon, Jacksonville

“The counselor got my rates reduced quickly. My payments now build progress.” — Latoya, Jacksonville

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

Shanice’s riverfront renewal in Jacksonville

Shanice, a logistics coordinator near the port, supported her family while navigating overtime shifts and rising childcare costs. A vehicle breakdown pushed her to credit cards, and high interest rates turned essential expenses into long-term debt that overshadowed riverfront walks.

At a community resource fair, Shanice connected with Money Fit. Her counselor tailored a Debt Management Plan to her irregular hours, securing creditor concessions that lowered rates and fit her paycheck timing.

As balances declined, Shanice enjoyed Jaguars games with her kids again. The program’s support helped her build an emergency fund, turning financial strain into family stability.
