In my experience, I think the simple answer to this question is that debt consolidation is good provided you shop around and find the best deal (i.e. reasonable interest rate, repayment period etc), and you learn from your previous mistakes which resulted in you getting into debt in the first place. Many people escape debt via a debt consolidation loan, but only to end up getting into further financial problems in future.
