Belle Fourche South Dakota Student Loan Debt Consolidation Advantages

Student loans issued between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006 have variable interest rates, therefore consolidation has the most advantages for people with those loans. Although the interest rate can't go higher than 8.25% when it resets annually, it can get near that rate if you don't consolidate while the rate is lower.

If you have several loans with varying due dates and similar account numbers, your lender may apply your payment to the wrong loan or you could miss a payment without realizing it. By consolidating into more manageable loans, you can avoid the worry of missing a payment or having it misapplied.

Most lenders offer additional discounts of .25 to .5% off the interest rate if you set-up automatic payments, with an additional 1-2% discount, depending on your loan balance, after 24-36 months of on-time payments. If your loan term is extended to twenty years through consolidation, 1.25% off your rate could save you a lot of money. Interest is still tax deductible for consolidated stud

Why Belle Fourche South Dakota Student Loan Debt Consolidation might not Work for You

If your loans total less than $10,000 or are close to being paid off, then consolidating may not be appropriate for you. Most lenders require a minimum of $10,000 to qualify, although a few lenders offer consolidation for balances as low as $3500.

You should avoid consolidating student debt into a higher-rate personal loan or rolling the debt into your home with a home equity loan. If you die, your student loans are forgiven, but your heirs could be stuck with your loans if they're consolidated into other types of loans. You should avoid adding a spouse's loans to yours or adding your spouse's name to the loan because joint consolidation obligates your spouse to continue repaying your loans after your death. In addition, other types of consolidation loans may include fees that would cancel the potential savings. Finally, part of your student loan interest is tax deductible up to an income limit, while personal loan interest is not.
