Student Loan Consolidation

July 15th, 2009

Student loans are fantastic for helping you pay for college, but there is a time in which they must be paid back. When it is all said and done, you may have a number of student loans with payments that are higher than you can handle when you combine them all together. Fortunately, there is a way to combat this through student loan consolidation.

In student loan consolidation, you are taking all of your student loans and consolidating them into one. This can also be considered refinancing student loans because you are taking another financing route. Consolidating student loans combines your loans into a single loan with a single payment. This payment is lower than what your payment would be if you had to pay all of your loans separately.

The process

Most graduates turn to student loan consolidation. If they do not have their student loans through the U.S. Department of Education, then they may look to refinancing student loans through their lender to lower the payment. This form of student loan consolidation is reliant upon whatever process your lender uses to consolidate. You will consult with them, but the process is usually not a difficult one. The lender would rather consolidate into something you can pay rather than not allow student loan consolidation and risk you not being able to pay. As for rates, that is dependent upon the institution.

If you are consolidating student loans through the U.S. Department of Education, the process is rather simple. First of all, you do have a fixed interest rate through the federal government, so there are no worries there. Second of all, you can visit their Direct Loan website for consolidating student loans. Student loan consolidation through the U.S. Department of Education requires that you fill out an application.

The advantages

When filling out the application, there are different payment options that are offered in student loan consolidation. There are also deferment options available to delay payment on the student loans.

If you find that refinancing student loans through consolidation is the way in which you can save money, which it most likely will, then you will most likely need to look into student loan consolidation. Not only do you get a lower monthly payment, but combining your loans with a lower interest rate will also result in them getting paid off faster.

In cases in which you need to acquire credit for a home or a car, your front end debt to income ratio is improved through student loan consolidation because your monthly payment has been reduced. This improves your credit score and improves your financial status in the eyes of the bank.

Just make sure that you do not default on your student loan consolidation. If you do, this could result in major issues. Not only does this affect your financial standing, but you could be digging yourself out of a student loan consolidation hole for quite some time. So make sure you choose a repayment plan on your student loan consolidation that works for you.
