Why Burdette Student Loan Debt Consolidation is to Your Advantage


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.

Possible Cons of Burdette Student Loan Debt Consolidation


Occasionally, it is not a good idea to consolidate your student loan. If you are close to repaying your debt then it does not make much sense to extend your debt by consolidating. You will end up spending more money on interest over the long run, regardless of how high your current interest rate is. Most lenders have a minimum loan amount before they allow you to consolidate with them, typically $10,000. When your debt is under $10,000, it may be very difficult for you to find a lender. If the only way to get a better interest rate on your loan is to consolidate your student loans in a secured loan, it may not be a good idea to consolidate. The concern here is that if you cannot make payments on your new loan you could lose your home. If you default on your current unsecured student loan, your lender cannot take your education away from you.

Eligibility criteria for Burdette Student Loan Debt Consolidation


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.

The best thing about student loan consolidation is no matter how many payments you have to make to several creditors every month, this plan helps you clear off your financial dues quickly and efficiently. With automatic payment and one or two loans, you will never have to worry about defaulting your payments ever again.
