If you are planning to pay off your debts by debt consolidation, you need to pay attention to some common errors that people will often make when consolidating debt. Here's a list of most common mistakes of debt consolidation.

1. Continue using multiple credit cards after paying off credit cards debts, which only leads to you max out your credit cards again.

2. Paying close attention to fees for balance transfers. There may be monthly charges, annual fees or fees for transferring your balances. All these fees can make it more expensive than staying where you are.

3. Going with a company just for its label. Just because they say they are not-for-profit or a Christian company does not make them any more reputable or realistic than other companies. Shop around and determine the right company for you and your needs.

4. Agreeing to a plan that you can not realistically keep up with. Your financial situation may be making you crazy and stressed but you should never agree to a payment you are uncomfortable with just for the sake of getting it off your plate. Spend some time weighing the pros and cons prior to making a final decision.

5. Missing several payments for more than one month. Late payment fees and higher interest rates are undesired results of late credit card payments. Your credit score will drop as well.

6. Some debtors take a debt consolidation loan with high interest rates when trying to consolidate their debts. Calculate what you will pay with the loan and compare that to what you are paying now. The bottom line is you should not pay more with the consolidation loan.

7. Low monthly payment doesn't mean low interest payment. Some debtors make mistake by thinking lower monthly payment equals to lower interest, which is not always the case.

8. Include the low interest debts for the sake of convenience. It is a good idea to consolidate as many bills as possible into one easier to manage payment, so you don't have to deal with multiple creditors at the same time. However, it is a good idea for you to opt to pay off low interest rate debts on your own rather than consolidating all of your debt in one consolidated payment plan, in order to save money in the long run.
