thanks Ruth. Can you ask your relative if it was a federal loan?
New question, is it possible to debt consolidate federal student loans?? so there’s debt and then student loan consolidation.

Consolidate Credit Card Debt

golfingjake asked:


I graduated 6 months ago with several federal student loans combining more than 40K. Is it better for me to consolidate now or stay put? Will the fed cutting lending rates (now 3%) affect the interest rates that loan consolidators offer? Will i be offered either variable or fixed rates if i consolidate?

Student Loan Debt Consolidation

KeraniBai asked:


Recently, I consolidated my student loans (undergrad, grad school loans). After I received the final break down, it appears that I will be paying double over the 25 year pay back period even with a 6% interest rate. This is ludicrous and certainly NOT what the agreement stated. I need to find a better company with better rates and soon.

Any suggestions – help!!! This company is really not the best and I plan to change soon. Send links and your advice on how they have helped you!

Private Student Loan Consolidation

Dirk L asked:


These crooks known as Sallie Mae have screwed me. Two years ago I started receiving my student loans, and the interest rate at the time was only 2%. I even have a sheet of paper stating that.

My total in loans was $42,000.

I get my statement in the mail last week and suddenly I owe them $57,000 and they jacked up my interest rate to nearly 18%. I nearly cried. I called Sallie Mae right away stating, I cannot pay $688.00 a month it is just ludicrous.

I only have a couple more weeks to find a cheap, but very respectable loan consolidation company. My sister uses Nelnet, but they haven’t gotten back to me yet.

For all of you college graduates what is a cheap, but VERY respectable and honest Student Loan Consolidation company?

You can email me with details if you’d like.

Thank You.

Credit Card Debt Consolidation Loans

sweetdream319 asked:


Hi all. I graduated college last May and will begin repayment on my loans starting in November. I have 7 federal student loans, totaling about $62,000 and 1 private student loan totaling about $8,000. Many places are not offering federal student loan consolidation any more, and I only have one private student loan so it doesn’t make sense to take out a private consolidation loan. As of right now, my payments are going to be about $800 monthly starting in November. I can’t afford that! What can I do?
