In your case, the only solution that will not impair your credit profile is a debt consolidation loan.
Debt consolidation can benefit you in many ways:
- Monthly cash flow
- Total savings

You need to consider your specific situation, including if you own or rent your home, your monthly debt to income ratio, and your credit rating.
