There are different ways to consolidate debt, but the basic idea is that a borrower takes out a new loan or sets up a repayment plan to pay off existing debts. Instead of making multiple payments to different creditors, the borrower now makes a single payment toward the new loan. The new loan often has a lower interest rate or better terms, allowing for a more manageable repayment structure.
