In the interest of Addyston Student Loan Debt Consolidation


Any loan borrower who has variable interest rate student loans issued between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006, student loan consolidation can be the best option to solve his problems and save money at the same time. The interest rate remains fixed at 8.25% annually. Also, by consolidating, you will also break down your loans by making just one or two payments a month instead of several. Many lenders also offer added discounts for automatic payments and after a period of on-time payments.

If your loans were issued after July 1, 2006, then your rate remains unaltered, but consolidating can still cut down the number of payments and extend your repayment period.

Drawbacks of Addyston Student Loan Debt Consolidation

It is a bad idea to combine the two different loans, even if your interest rate could be lower, as you lose all of your benefits on the federal loans when you combine them with private loans. If you run into financial trouble, you have the option of deferring or putting your federal loans on forbearance. Private loans must be paid back no matter what your circumstances are. For this reason, any private loan consolidated with at federal student loan may hurt you. The fees associated with consolidating a private loan may also cancel out any savings that you could have received from an interest rate reduction. When you die, your federal student loans are forgiven; your private loans are not, so your heirs will be stuck footing the bill if you consolidate your student loans with other debt.

Eligibility criteria for Addyston Student Loan Debt Consolidation


If you have student loans totaling more than $10,000 and are not in default, then you shouldn't have any problem qualifying for consolidation.

To qualify, simply compare various lenders, including repayment term length and interest rate discounts, and choose the one that is best for your situation. Then request a quote and complete the application. If you're still in your repayment grace period, you can apply now and check the box to delay completion of the paperwork until your deferral period is almost over.

Deciding that you want to consolidate is only the beginning. You want a lender that will give you a financially sound consolidation package that you will feel good about for years to come. Begin researching lenders and remember that you have until June 30 to put your signature on your application to secure this year's rate. If next year's rate is more appealing to you, wait until July 1 before you turn in your paperwork.
