The Rewards of Braggs Student Loan Debt Consolidation


Fixed interest rates and a single low monthly payment are the two biggest reasons why people choose to consolidate their student loans. If you have a Stafford loan, disbursed between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006, then your loan is subject to a variable interest rate, capped at 8.25%, that changes each July. Even if your loan was disbursed after June 30, 2006, you can save money by consolidating at a lower interest rate or by extending your loan term. Because there is no prepayment penalty, whenever you make larger payments on your loan the extra money goes to your principal, helping to pay off your loan faster. Most lenders give discounts for automatic payments and reductions to your interest rate for on-time payments over a period of 24-36 months. These discounts can add up over the life of your loan.

Why Braggs 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.

Who Qualifies for Braggs Student Loan Debt Consolidation


Qualifying for student loan consolidation should be a cakewalk if your loan balance is over $10,000. Get all information from several lenders to compare loan terms, such as repayment terms and discount amounts. When you find a company you like, complete the form and submit it. If you did your graduation recently, you can get your paperwork done now. Keep checking the box to put off your consolidation till your repayment grace period concludes. Enroll for automatic payments 30 days in advance to get all applicable discounts in a short time.

Carefully review the terms of your Braggs student loan debt consolidation agreements and calculate your potential savings before applying. If you believe you qualify and rates are low, it's best to lock-in that low rate while you can.
