Consolidate student loans, should you do this? Most graduates do this in order to lock in with a much lower interest rate. This will be more convenient as there will be a single monthly payment and because of the lower interest rate, there’s more cash left over, but do some research first.

First of all, let’s see if you should really consolidate student loans. Remember that not all college loans are created equal and not all may suit the consolidation route. Let us consider the different consolidation options and what you have now. This will allow us to see which one may be the best route to go.

To consolidate student loans will Plus (Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students) Loan, consider this. This is a federal loan with interest rate as variable so every July 1 when the government sets the new rate, the monthly payment could change.

How about the ScholarPoint Financial Inc. loan? This specializes in student loan where with technology, the parents and students get help and learn more about loan consolidation at scholarpoint.

You can also consider the Perkins Loan which offers a loan at fixed rate. It has unique benefits that you may lose if you consolidate the student loans. For instance, it has a forgiveness program that will waive the loan if you land jobs that provide service to the community like teachers in underprivileged areas, medical technicians and nurses. If you do not qualify for these, you can still go on their consolidation loans but you may pay a small percentage extra in interest as it is based on the weighted average of the other loans.

Direct loans should also be considered to consolidate student loans. This comes directly from the federal government not through private lenders although the borrowers have to consolidate first through the Direct Loan Program. You can then have the chance to shop around for the lowest interest rate although they are getting more strict with this.


The Stafford loans is a good choice because their interest rate is variable like the PLUS loan. This can lower the repayment amount by as much as 63%, that is, with the right lender. It has also a forgiveness program so check around before signing up.

How about the Health Professions Student Loan (HPSL)? This has fixed rate and has some deferment options that you may lose when you consolidate. It has a three-year deferment period to give relief to medical residents so make sure to ask prospective lenders about deferment options.

So now that you know what you may have now and you may lose and still have to pay this for a longer period of time, go ahead so as long as you can live with this. In my case, I will choose shorter repayment plan even it means there will be no cash flow. It will not feel much different because the amount will be the same as before so you won’t miss it and at the same time you will only have a single monthly payment. Here are more tips:

Find the best interest rate available. Separate the federal education loans from all private loans as they cannot be consolidated jointly. Consolidate the loans during the grace period of six months after graduation as this is the best time to do so. Why? You will get an extra.6 interest discount if the consolidation is done during this grace period.

Before you consolidate the student loans, select the preferred payment plan. Have a discussion with at least three lenders as to your payment options before you sign up. There are different options each of which we will discuss in the following tips.

For Federal loans, you have the choice between the graduated repayment plan where at the start you pay smaller amount which will go up as your salary does and the income sensitive payment plan where a certain percentage of your salary will go to paying off your college loan debt.

The standard repayment of equal payments over a period of time short enough that will lower the interest rate.

The extended payment plan will give you the longest term to pay the loan but you will end up paying the most interest.

Why not go back to school first? If you want to get a master’s degree, consider it now for then your payments are not due as long as you’re in school 50% or more. If you consolidate before, the monthly payments are due and cannot be changed.

Check your budget to make sure you will have enough to live on to enjoy life and move forward in your chosen career. Count the cost of the benefits and compare with what you have now because once you consolidate, there is no turning back. Check also all the costs, hidden or otherwise. Check if there is a pre-payment penalty clause.

Another tip is to consolidate early to avoid having problems with credit rating. Your credit will not suffer if you consolidate early in addition to obtaining a lower interest rate. If you don’t consolidate before the grace period ends, it may reflect badly on your credit after which you will not be able to consolidate student loans.


Consolidate student loans will offer a close look at this issue. Know all the aspects in order not to get misguided. The strategic way to employ is do research first. The time for this financial check-up and for the action plan that should follow is within the grace period. This will be a worthy endeavor as you do not want to damage your credit rating. Read the article to let this change in your life shape up your financial health.

Consolidate Student Loans Bad Debt

Debt Into Wealth

A secure loan will offer you the lowest interest rates and most flexibility from your lender. Of course, these benefits don’t come without an added risk from you.

When you borrow money you offer the lender some form of security, also called collateral. The most common type of collateral is your home. This is the only type most banks will take as second mortgages. When you use your home, or vehicle, as collateral you can go on using your property as normal, but sign a note stating that if you don’t make the payments the lender can repossess the property and sell it to make up the rest of the money you owe.

If neither of these collateral options work for you there is also the option of using jewelry or other collectible items of value. Not all lenders will do this so you’ll need to search around, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. You will need to have the item appraised before applying.

When you use this form of collateral the lender will typically hold the item in a safe until the secure loan has been repaid in full.

Interest rates are largely determined by the amount of risk the lender is taking. By offering collateral the lender has a way of obtaining their money one way or another, so you have lowered that risk. Of course you have also raised your risk because if you are unable to pay you will lose your property, but because of this risk you are able to enjoy the benefit of a lower interest rate and more flexible terms. If you have bad credit you’ll find lenders much more willing to work with you, and if you need to extend the life of your loan they’ll be much more willing to work with this.

If you are looking for the best treatment from lenders and need specific things from a lender, you’ll have a much easier time doing that with a secure loan.
