How might refinancing of my existing loan provide me with a solution?

If you own your own home but it is mortgaged to your home loan provider, seeking the refinancing of that loan may assist in releasing equity in the property.  That equity (once released) may be applied to other debts to meet your commitments in those areas.

What will debt consolidation do to solve my current debt problem?

If you have a number of debt commitments with high interest rates and high monthly commitments for repayment, consolidating your loans may alleviate your situation.  The objective of loan consolidation is to obtain a  new loan on better terms to replace several existing loans or debts that are less favourable in terms of repayments and interest charges.  Consolidating the loans also has a benefit of bringing all of your repayments under one regular repayment.
