When should you opt for debt consolidation?


For all your variable interest rate student loans issued between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006, student loan consolidation is a the best option to cut down your payments and save you money. The interest rate is fixed at 8.25% annually. If your rates are lower now, consolidating can lock-in that lower rate on your older loans. Consolidating your loans assists in making just one or two payments a month instead of several.

If your loans were issued after July 1, 2006, then your rate is fixed, but consolidating can still reduce the number of payments and extend your repayment term.

Drawbacks of Bruce Student Loan Debt Consolidation


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.

Bruce Student Loan Debt Consolidation: How to qualify for it


You need to be out of school, and in the grace period of your loan to opt for debt consolidation. Defaulters in the past can also get their debt consolidated at a higher rate of interest. Federal loans do not penalize for prepayments, and if you can afford it, you can shorten your term through large payments. Do not opt for consolidating the federal loans with the private ones. This can lead to the forfeiture of the various benefits that come along with federal loans.

Carefully review the terms of your Bruce 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.
