 TITLE: How to Get a Debt Consolidation Loan with Bad Credit? CONTENT: How Do I Qualify for a Debt Consolidation Loan\n----------------------------------------------\nDepending on your credit range, taking out a debt consolidation loan might not be the best idea. If you have a \"poor\" credit score, it may be difficult to get approved for a debt consolidation loan. Lenders often see people in \"poor\" credit ranges as risky, and as a result, might not issue a new loan to someone in that range.\nAnother potential issue with getting a debt consolidation loan with a \"poor\" credit score is that the interest rate on your new loan could, in some cases, be higher than the APR on your existing debt. Lenders often use your creditworthiness to establish what interest rate you get, so people with \"poor\" or even \"fair\" credit scores should be careful not take on new loans with higher rates. END
