It is true that debt
It is true that debt consolidation ultimately helps to boost your credit score as it's a positive information on your credit report tat you've paid your debts in full. However, if you had defaulted on any of your accounts, it'll be marked negative on your credit reports. Whatever be the situation, you can opt for consolidating and paying off your debts. It will ultimately help you increase your credit score.
