Debt Consolidation in Austin, Texas

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.
Stay focused on repayment and stability, not new borrowing.

Why consolidation makes sense in Austin

Many Austin residents juggle variable income, medical bills, or credit card balances that don’t shrink with minimums alone. Consolidation can steady cash flow, curb interest, and set a clear payoff path.

Who we help

Consolidation may be a fit if you’re managing:

High-interest credit cards
Collections or charged-off accounts
Payday loans that won’t let up
Medical bills and other unsecured debts

“One payment brought structure back to our month.” — Priya, Austin

“Lower rates meant real progress on principal.” — Mateo, Austin

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 request reduced interest and fee relief where available.

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

When to consider consolidation

You’re paying minimums but balances aren’t dropping
Late fees keep cropping up or due dates are hard to track
Payday renewals are crowding out essentials
You want a structured, nonprofit path to become debt-free

Jasmine’s turning point near Zilker

Jasmine works two gigs and covered a surprise medical bill with credit cards. A short month pushed her into a payday loan, and fees began swallowing each paycheck.

A Money Fit counselor mapped a realistic single payment and prepared proposals requesting reduced rates and waived fees through a Debt Management Plan.

Within a few statements, one predictable draft replaced scattered due dates. With fewer fees and lower interest, more money hit principal, and the payday balance disappeared. Day-to-day life in Austin felt manageable again.
