Why Broken Arrow Student Loan Debt Consolidation is Beneficial


Student loan consolidation is most beneficial for Stafford loans disbursed between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006 that have variable interest rates. If you have fixed rate loans issued after that date, you may not be able to reduce the rate much by consolidating, but it will still simplify your payments. The federal student loan rate resets each July 1 and the new rate is announced in the spring. If you have federal loans, you can consolidate all your loans to lock-in a fixed rate and extend your repayment term.

Most loan companies also offer a small interest rate reduction for automatic payments and an additional reduction after 24-36 on-time payments. Although you must apply by June 30 to qualify for this year's rate, most lenders will postpone the final consolidation until your repayment grace period expires. The grace period is usually 6-9 months.

Reasons to Think Twice About Broken Arrow Student Loan 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.

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.
