Here's what many Americans are doing to get out from under debt. But beware the risks.

Most personal loan requests — 61 percent — are aimed at helping people get some wiggle room on their debts, LendingTree found.

Consumers who applied for personal loans to manage their debts were also starting out with the highest balances. The average is $14,107 for credit card refinancing and $12,670 for debt consolidation. If you have multiple accounts, taking out a personal loan can be an opportunity to consolidate that debt into one account and possibly get a lower interest rate.
