What is Consolidation?


Consolidation allows you to simplify the repayment process by combining several types of federal education loans into one loan, so you make just one payment a month. Also, that monthly payment might be lower than what youre currently paying.

You can get a Direct Consolidation Loan, available from ED, or a Federal (FFEL) Consolidation Loan, available from participating FFEL lenders. Under either program, the loan holder pays off the existing loans and makes one Consolidation Loan to replace them. If you have subsidized and unsubsidized loans, theyll be grouped accordingly when you consolidate so you wont lose your interest subsidy on the
subsidized loans.

There are three categories of Direct Consolidation Loans: Direct Subsidized Consolidation Loans, Direct Unsubsidized Consolidation Loans, and Direct PLUS Consolidation Loans. If you have loans from more than one category, you still have only one Direct Consolidation Loan and make only one monthly payment.

Under the FFEL Program, you can receive a Subsidized and/or an Unsubsidized FFEL Consolidation Loan, depending on the types of loans you're consolidating. (FFEL PLUS Consolidation Loans are included under the Unsubsidized FFEL Consolidation Loan category.)

You can also consolidate Federal Perkins Loans and other federal education loans. To get a complete list of the kinds of federal student loans that can be consolidated.

* contact the Direct Loan Origination Centers Consolidation Department if youre applying for a Direct Consolidation Loan. You can reach them by calling
1-800-557-7392. TTY users can call 1-800-557-7395.
* contact a participating FFEL lender if youre applying for a FFEL Consolidation Loan.

Under FFEL consolidation, if the same holder holds all the loans you want to consolidate, you must obtain your consolidation loan from that holder, unless you havent been able to get a loan with income-sensitive repayment terms.

To get a Direct Consolidation Loan, you must consolidate at least one Direct Loan or FFEL. If you don't have a Direct Loan, but you have a FFEL, you must first contact a FFEL lender that makes FFEL Consolidation Loans to ask about obtaining a FFEL Consolidation Loan. If you can't get such a loan, or you can't get one with income-sensitive repayment terms acceptable to you, and you're eligible for the Direct Loan Income Contingent Repayment Plan, you can apply for a Direct Consolidation Loan.

Even if you're in default, you might be eligible for a Consolidation Loan if certain conditions are met. Talk to your loan holder(s).

Small Loans With Bad Credit

In either case, the student still needs to pay for the original and the new loan (since its quite probable that he will have no money for his next career).

If you prefer then it may be best to contact the relevant company before applying for a private student loan consolidation and ensure that you can make monthly repayments while studying, no repayments may seem like a good thing while studying and despite it being classed as good debt, it could easily turn into bad debt if you cant keep up repayments.
 
Whenever you find that the agency charges an upfront fee, be wary of it and ensure that you check the credentials of the said agency before making any payment.

You need to keep in mind that this is a service and you are a customer.

"One of the great marvels about the American education system is that a student can ask for a low interest loan for the career he is studying for."
