Why Battery Park Virginia Student Loan Debt Consolidation might not Work for You

If your loans are mostly private, you may not be able to consolidate them. If you are able to consolidate, you may not receive a fixed-rate for the consolidated loan. You also might not qualify if your loan balances total less than $10,000, but some consolidation companies will accept balances as low as $3,500. Consolidation may also not be worth the trouble if your loans will be paid off soon.

Some companies offer to consolidate loans for you and your spouse into one loan, but you should avoid this. Federal student loans are forgiven if the student dies, unless the loan is consolidated with other loans, such as a spouse's student loans or as part of a home equity or personal loan. If you consolidate your loans into your home loan and can't make the payments, you could lose your house.

Finally, if you have a fixed-rate loan issued after July 1, 2006, and have not yet graduated, then you have no reason to consolidate your loans now while they are in deferral.

Information about Qualifying for Battery Park Virginia Student Loan Debt Consolidation

When interest rates are low, you want to take advantage of the opportunity and consolidate. If you have already graduated and have a loan balance of over $10,000, you should have no problem. Some consolidation companies will work with loans that are as low as $3,500, but your interest rate may be higher. If you want to lock in a low interest rate and you are still in school, you can do an in-school consolidation. However, because consolidating cancels your interest deferral, make sure that you will come out ahead financially as you will now be incurring interest on your loan. Once you graduate, you can consolidate your new loans with the ones you have already consolidated if the new rate for the current year is still low. If you do not want to incur interest while you are still in school, wait to until you have completed school to consolidate.

After going through the pros and cons of student loan debt consolidation, you can opt for consolidation. However, do not consolidate federal and private loans. Consolidating them separately gives you the benefits available with federal loans.
