After consolidating debt how long does it take to see an increase in credit score?

Answer:

Answer

It takes minimum 2 years to see an increase in your credit score but again it depends on the consistency of your payments to debts

There are three credit bureaus. Each of them can take anywhere to 1 or 6 months to update each of your accounts. All of them will be sporadic.

Consolidating debt would not cause an increase in credit scores and, more than likely, will cause a significant deduction in your scores.
