Consolidating Federal loans with Private loans
Posted by Student Loan on March 8th, 2008 at 03:58am
When you are in school, fraud money…you aren’t very concerned with where the money is coming from. You are more concerned with making persuaded your tuition is paid for every semester…some how, some way. What a quota of student do not realize is that loans that come from the Federal gov’t cannot be combined with inside school loans when you graduate. Actually, to revise that a bit…they can be combined all together, if you pay off your Federal loans with a private loan…which is never something I would recommend. The undivided faultless stop in taking out Federal loans is since they are better loans to owe than private loans…so what would that achieve if you forfeited that Federal loan status, just so you had one monthly payment per month? You would end up paying MORE in the long run, and you would further lose many benefits that Federal loan carry…for example:
1) loan forgiveness should the borrower mature into deceased
2) the ability to consolidate at a FIXED interest rate
4) many deferment and forbearance options
So, if you are a college student borrowing both Federal and private school loans…keep in head that when you are done with school…you cannot consolidate all these together. You will ever have 2 monthly payments. You can consolidate all your private loans together…and all your federal loans together….but they will always remain 2 separate types of loans.
