Has anyone consolidated student loans? What is the best company to go through?

Answer 1

I had like, a hundred different loans. I used a company called American Education Services to consolidate. They made it very easy to understand, and their statements are really easy to read.

Answer 2

Sallie Mae is the most reputable. You might want to decide if you are ready to consolidate first. When you consolidate, you might lose deferrment options, so make sure and talk with them about that too.

Answer 3

I consolidated with salliemae last year. I would definitely contact one of your existing lenders to see what they offer. You should definitely shop around because there are many lenders out there offering cash back, reduced monthly payments, and other incentives.

Here are a few places I'd check:
http://salliemae.com - big student lender
http://finfo.com - get up to four competing offers, no obligation
http://financialaid.com - student loans and consolidations
http://MyTuition.com - student loans and consolidations

Good luck!

Answer 5

Sorry, but Sallie Mae has one of the worst reputations in the industry in customer service. Their borrower benefits are not as good as most. Do some research before you decide.

Answer 6

I used Sallie Mae, and have been very satisfied with them.
