Question about debt consolidation

Debt Consolidation?
I recently purchased a home (3 months ago) and financed 100% of the home. At this point I do not have an equity in the home. I am currently looking for a way to consolidate some of my debt to lower my rate, lower my payment, and ultimately pay off the debt sooner. I have 1 car loan, 1 personal loan, and 5 credit/store cards that I would like to consolidate totaling about $16,600. My FICO score is currently 686, and I am on time every month with all of my bills. I have paid all bills on time (most of the time more than the minimum) for more than 3 years straight.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
