Debt Consolidation - Consolidate Your Student Loans Now!

 By Robi Reza Prayudha

At the moment, interest rates on Federal student loans are the lowest in history, but that is about to change. On July 1, 2005, the interest rates on Federal student loans will rise, due to an increase in the price of Treasury, bills, to which the interest rates on student loans are tied.

Between now and June 30, new graduates or those who have been repaying existing loans can consolidate their student loans at current rates. The rates currently vary, with fixed rates being slightly higher than adjustable rates. Those considering consolidation might wish to convert their loan to a fixed rate. One solution for reducing your debt is to consolidate your student loans.

How is Interest Calculated When I Consolidate Student Loans? When you consolidate student loans, your lending company pays off your government loan and issues you a new loan under its own name. Although agreeing to a higher interest rate might not sound like a good reason to consolidate student loans, this rate is fixed over the life of the loan, whereas the government rates will fluctuate.

When Would You *Not* Want to Consolidate Student Loans? Before you decide to consolidate student loans, you should carefully consider your alternatives. Cancellation is not possible, however, after you have consolidated your student loans.
