Many debts can be included in a debt consolidation program. Generally, most unsecured debt can be included. For example, credit cards, medical bills, department store cards, student loans, taxes and bank lines of credit are examples of debt that are frequently consolidated. Secured loans such as house payments or car loans usually cannot be successfully consolidated. Also, any loan that has been cosigned by another person will require that the other person pay on the loan if you do not meet the original terms and conditions.
Secured debt is debt that is secured by something tangible.
In general, secured debt should be paid before unsecured debt. All major creditors participate in consolidation programs. Master Card, Visa, Discover, department store cards, hospitals and medical clinics, student loan bureaus and state and federal revenue departments are just a few examples.
