Debt Consolidation is usually a loan of lower interest than your credit cards that you get and that loan pays off all of your credit cards which you will not be able to use and then you only have the consolidation loan to pay, which is at a lower rate.

Debt Settlement is usually when you are behind in your payments or your account is in collection and you settle the debt with the creditor for less than the balance you owe. So, you owe them $10,000, you agree to pay $5000 and the debt goes away. But, they can 1099 you for the $5000 write off.
