Cobalt Student Loan Debt Consolidation Advantages


If your variable interest rate student loans was issued between July 1, 1998 and June 30, 2006, student loan consolidation can be a great money saver. The interest rate is fixed at 8.25% annually. Also, by consolidating, you will also break down your loans by making just one or two payments a month instead of several. Most lenders also offer supplementary discounts for automatic payments and after a period of on-time payments.

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

Cobalt Student Loan Debt Consolidation services: Why not to go in for it


If your loans are close to being paid off, then consolidating doesn't make sense. Any savings you receive from automatic discounts wouldn't be large enough to offset the additional interest you pay by extending your term.

You should only consolidate if you can keep your student loans separate from other loans. Although you could save extra money by rolling your loans into your home loan, you also put your home at risk. Student loans are forgiven at your death, but other loans are not, so your heirs could be stuck with your student loans if they're combined into any other kind of loan. You should avoid consolidating your student loans with your spouse's loans for the same reason. A consolidation lender can't forgive only a part of the loan.

Terms and conditions


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.

After going through the pros and cons of student loan debt consolidation, you can opt for consolidation. However, do not consolidate federal and private loans. Consolidating them separately gives you the benefits available with federal loans.
