When should you NOT opt for debt consolidation?

Property owners with student loans may be tempted to combine their student loan debt with their mortgage or home equity loan in order to be eligible for consolidation. Because most lenders will not consolidate loans less than $10,000, you may be tempted to consolidate your loans with your spouse's. In either case, consolidating your student loans with other loans is not usually a good idea. If you die your spouse or heirs will be responsible for your loan, which would have been forgiven had it been consolidated alone. A larger house payment may be a problem, even if it means your bills are cheaper overall; if you ever have trouble making your home equity payment, you could lose your property. If you are close to paying off their loan, you will save more money in interest over the term of your loan even if your interest rate is high if you do not consolidate. Consolidating extends your term, and you will have to pay more interest overall.

Terms and conditions

You can qualify for student loan consolidation if you've completed or left school, attend school part-time, or at the end of each school year while you're in school. If rates are low, you can also apply for an in-school consolidation to lock-in that rate. Consolidation cancels your in-school interest deferral, though, so you may accrue additional interest during that term. You can defer payments, however. Once you've completed all your schooling, you can consolidate your new loans with your previously consolidated loans. You can't reconsolidate a loan to get a lower rate without adding additional loans to the bundle.

Look for consolidation deals as soon as you graduate, before your repayment grace period ends. The federal government announces the rate for the next year for spring. If the new rate will be higher, consolidate before June 30. If the new rate will be lower, wait until July 1 to apply. Usually, your paperwork must be signed by June 30 in order to qualify for the previous year's rate even i
