Loan Consolidation
My fiancé is going to school online and he is to graduate soon. We get phone calls and letters ALL the time about loan consolidation from different companies. Some even offering to pay him money to go with their company. Is this for real? What do they get out of this? They say the rates will change in July so he needs to lock in before that. I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. They are like vultures.

Rates are going up. A reputable Loan consolidation will take the outstanding loans and lump them together under one. Usually at a favorable interest rate. My daughter has saved considerably by consolidating.
The advantage to the lenders is that these are guaranteed loans, subsidized by the govt. |
