Wanted to know if any one is happy with a use they provide. Or have been they similar to Salliemae where they slice we off as well as assign celestial seductiveness rates upon tyro converging loans.
Private student consolidation loans are not guaranteed by the gov’t – so they’re a much higher risk to the lender. Therefore, they’re typically based on the credit history of the borrower. It’s unlikely you’d get a significantly different interest rate if you shop around to different lenders.
What you can do is get your credit in as good shape as possible before you consolidate, and/or find a cosigner with good credit. This can help bring the interest rate down. The rates may *seem* high, but they’re probably lower than a typical credit card or car loan rate, plus the interest on them may be deductible on your taxes.
