A debt consolidation company will take care of contacting the credit card companies therefore you do not have to unless you are trying to negotiate on your own.

A debt repayment plan can be set up with a debt consolidation service. You will receive a plan and pay them directly so no more calls from your credit card companies about when you are planning on paying your bill, the payment will go to the debt consolidation service and they pay the creditors. This type of plan will save you money and get you away from your creditors. You do not have this option with your creditors if you try to do this yourself.
