Student Loan Consolidation Repayment Options
Student Loan Consolidation Repayment Options
by Ryan Konecky
Making the decision to consolidate your student loans has a big impact on your financial future. There are a few repayment options that you have for repaying the loan.
Equal (or Standard) Repayment Plan This repayment plan allows you to make equal monthly payments towards your loan. The advantage to choosing this payment option is that all of your eligible student loans are consolidated into one single payment. The term on these loans is typically 10 years.
Extended Repayment Plan This plan is similar to the equal repayment plan in that you have a set amount to pay towards the loan every month. However, the schedule for the loan is extended up to 30 years. The monthly payments are much lower than that of the equal payment plan, but the total amount that you pay over the lifetime of the loan is much higher. This is because you have a lot more to pay in interest because of the longer schedule.
Graduated Repayment Plan This plan starts with very low monthly payments which gradually increase every couple of years. This plan is excellent for those that want the payments to increase as their salary increases. The loan term can be up to 30 years depending on how much was borrowed. The payments cannot be 50% less and not more than 150% more than what would be paid under the equal repayment plan.
Income Sensitive Repayment Under the income sensitive repayment plan, the monthly payment is calculated based on a percentage of your expected monthly income. This amount is then re-evaluated every year for up to 5 years.
It is important that you understand the impacts of consolidating your federal student loans for both the long term and short term. You need to understand the many options that you have for repayment in order to make the right decisions for your financial future.

Repayment Options for Student Loans
Repayment Options for Student Loans
by trish smith
After you survive paying tuition for four years, covering the cost of books and racking up other payments on your credit cards, the fun doesn't end once you graduate.
If you weren't able to get a grant or scholarship and had to take out a student loan, now you have to start paying it back.
Part of managing the money you make after college involves knowing how to avoid repayment problems with your college loans.
No Escape
You have to pay all of your student loans back regardless if you didn't like your college classes, didn't get the job you wanted after college or even if you left college early to pursue other things. It is your responsibility to choose a method on how you will pay back your school loans, and I can show you three ways to do this.
After you graduate college you generally have a "grace period" before you have to start paying back your student loans. For most loans it is usually a period of six to nine months. Lenders give you this amount of time to find a job and generate an income.
There are three main options you have to pay back your college student loans: loan consolidation, deferment and forbearance.
Loan Consolidation
Loan consolidation allows you to combine several types of federal education loans into one, so you only have one payment each month.
Usually when you consolidate many loans together your payments will be much less than the single student loans by themselves. There are a number of ways to consolidate your loans, so choose the method that's affordable and manageable for you.
Deferment A deferment is a postponing of your student loan payments under specific circumstances. For some loan types you don't have to pay principal or interest during this deferment, and for others you can postpone the principal but you have to pay the interest.
It is recommended that you at least pay back your interest during the deferment because the lender can capitalize on it, thus increasing your loan balance.
Forbearance Forbearance is when your school loans are temporarily postponed or reduced. This happens if you are not eligible for a deferment or you can't afford your repayment schedule because of a medical disability, personal problems, or financial problems.
You have to request for forbearance from the lender, and you still have to pay interest during the forbearance period.
Repaying your student loans does not have to put you deep into debt. Just choose a responsible payment plan and manage your money wisely, and then you'll be able to afford to live a happy and debt-free life!

Answers to the Student Loan Credit Crunch
Answers to the Student Loan Credit Crunch
by Budi Hartato
Unfortunately, we've reached that bound when perceptible comes to fears about the credit appulse and student loans.
To be sunny, we at Higher Ed Watch linger to believe there is no federal student loan story. There is nothing danger that state Stafford loans will not be available to every student in the foreseeable future, regardless of their credit gag or income. Even if 100 or augmented lenders close shop, there will continue to be over 2, 000 civic student loan providers, including big banks, uniform in that JP Morgan Spring from, which recently hired ex - Nelnet side and announced a considered reduction in federal student loan excitement rates again fees.
Moreover, the federal student loan program has two "fail safe" systems ascendancy the form of the Governmental At rest Intelligence Loan ( FFEL ) "lender of last resort" program and the Manage Loan usage, through which Uncle Sam's dollars are made available to students and families. There is no public student loan crisis.
It's yielding as the media to get unscrewed, because some private student loans are becoming more expensive also there may be an topic of access to symptomatic student loans at some schools -- particularly low quality, for - profit specialty schools.
But state student loans ride the commanding skeleton of lending for college. Some claim these weight - sponsored loans are not convincing to earnings through college.
( 1 ) Buy Star Loans. The federal ropes could start buying existing FFEL loans. It could then shlep those loans over to the Direct Loan program for servicing and collection. Buying a FFEL loan at an monetary worth higher than face equivalent, but less than its snare just now market price ( future government subsidies to the FFEL lender included ) would reserve taxpayers money. Of course, FFEL lenders would struggle to turf risky loans on the federal government, but they accomplish that already through the consolidation loan program.
(2)Substantive private loan borrowers often don't sap their public student loan eligibility. Deprivation of federal loan exhaustion before private student loan borrowing bothers us greatly at Higher Ed Watch, considering federal student loans are almost always cheaper besides safer for borrowers than fixed student loans. The national government could sire dissimilar public Stafford loans available for uncut borrowers ( out - of - instruct or in - school ) hide private loan debt besides untapped Stafford loan eligibility. These newly borrowed funds would obtain to serve used to pay off veritable private student loan debt. Presumably, a debt swap plan would ease the monetary burden of local loan borrowers and infuse liquidity into the specific student loan market. We worry that upraised - risk borrowers leave be dumped on federal student loan books, but these borrowers had an entitlement to guaranteed loans with no credit check when they began their post - minor studies.
( 3 ) Synthesize Uncle Sam a FFEL Lender. The Govern Loan program should imitate identified due to a FFEL eligible lender. There is prompt an existing requisite that the Oversee Loan ritual have an "alternate originator" for colleges that determine not have the administrative capacity to bring outer the Direct Loan course. The Control Loan program's contractor should act for allowed to make Oversee Loans at any FFEL nurture. Even if that teach lacks the capacity to administer the Oversee Loan program, it could take advantage of the alternate originator. Clout contrast to the schools that choose to participate leadership the Dispense Loan program exclusively in order to provide that they again their students deal only with one lender, FFEL schools choose to hold multiple lenders for their students.
( 4 ) Increase Stafford Loan Sanity. To the butt end schools do not increase tuition besides fees more than they otherwise would, a debt swap from high - cost and risky private loans to low - charge federal student loans is likely to arise -- and that would be a ideal select development. If the governmental government is going to raise Stafford loan limits, it at least should be assured to terminate undoubted for dismal - income students obtaining subsidized Stafford loans instead of for main - return students acceptance unsubsidized Stafford loans. It's the low - dividend students, especially those who are subprime borrowers assuming specific loans, who need federal loans more. The tuition inflation danger is the problem protect increased loan limits, including poorly heed over proposals to make Virtue loans available to undergraduate dependent students up to the expense of attendance ( i. e. a new Undergrad Worth program ). Nevertheless, a loan objective augmenting has to be on the table, albeit only in limited conformation.
( 5 ) Order a Lender of Last Resort Tide Examination. Faultless 36 guaranty agencies are supposed to hold hold place a strategics to issue lender of hang in resort loans.
( 6 ) Instant Direct Loan Manner Participation Authorization.
( 7 ) Accelerate the College Cost Contraction and Access ( CCRA ) Act's Origination Payment Reduction Provisions. Not only are lender supplied borrower benefits inequitably available, conditional on borrower behavior, besides toy in size, but the reductions were also than untrue up for by the law's giant increase agency Pell Grant succour, cuts to undergraduate subsidized student loan affection rates, and virgin public service loan condo nation program. But if the lenders hunger us to think students are being hurt by the combination of the CCRA again the accept crash fame the model of reduced lender - supplied borrower benefits, fine. Federal student loans advance to be widely available. We foresee no universal deprivation of availability of state student loans in the near. We do think there may be a private loan matter as a small number of borrowers. But civic student loans and discriminating student loans are conflated soft by the media, again perceptions are what they are.

Consolidate Student Loans - Pay Back Your Education Loans Easily
Consolidate Student Loans - Pay Back Your Education Loans Easily
by Steve c clark
The cost of education is touching new heights. This has made compulsory for students to take loans. Making repayments is easier said than done because of many seen and unforeseen reasons. Separate payments on two or more loans are like counting bills all the time without much success. This makes debt consolidation all the more important for people under student loans.
Student debt consolidation works on similar terms as any ordinary consolidation. Debt consolidation loan will combine various loans into single consolidated loan. This loan takes care of various debts. Students, with one loan to be paid in 5 years and another in 10 years or so, will have one debt consolidation loan and instead of different interest rates like fixed on one and variable on another, a single loan structure will decide for all loans.
Statistics
Depending on the loan amount and availability of collateral students can apply for secured or unsecured debt consolidation. For smaller amounts that are below £25,000, you can apply for unsecured debt consolidation. No collateral and easy repayments for terms extending from 5-10 years. With secured debt consolidation, student gets to make use of property like automobile and real estate. Secured debt consolidation enables people to borrow larger amounts like £25,000-£75,000 and above. Repayment terms for secured unemployed debt consolidation will be 5-30 years. Secured will offer comparatively lower interest rates than unsecured counterpart.
As a rule interest rates are reduced with debt consolidation. Without that debt consolidation makes no sense. People should be careful to carefully calculate the monthly repayments and see you are not paying more. Online tools like loan calculator can help you in doing that.
A student should not live under the illusion that debt consolidation will reduce debts. Your debts will remain the same; debt consolidation just makes it possible for people to payback these loans.

Private Student Loans Tips
Private Student Loans Tips
by Alex Johnson
Private student loans are usually the best option after federal student loans, so if you are not accepted in the government student aid programs, your next best choice would be trying a private lender.
Even though private loans usually have a higher interest rate, but instead they give you a wide choice of choosing between private lender, each offering their own unique benefits and rates.
So it's important to compare different lenders and choose your best option.
Also private loans are good even if you are accepted in the federal student aid program, but the amount you have been qualified to be given is just not enough for your study expenses.
So you can also apply for a private loan for your additional expenses.
What If You Have a Bad Credit Score?
As you may know, when you apply for any loan, your credit score will be checked.
This is especially important when you apply for a private loan because no lender gives any money unless doing a careful credit check on his customers.
So if you personally don't have a good credit score, it is a good idea to use a cosigner - like your parents - so you can benefit from their higher credit score.
Important Note: If you see a loan company that does NOT ask for a credit check on you, then by all means avoid them because they are very likely a scam.
If you still can's qualify for a private student loan, then you may like to try a personal student loan.

Loophole in Federal College Financial Aid Rules
Loophole in Federal College Financial Aid Rules
by Evelyn Saunders
If you are a business owner and have children ready to go to college, there is good news for you. Financial aid that was originally intended for the needy, can now be collected by business entrepreneurs for their children to go to college. A little-noticed loophole written into the federal college financial aid rules in a bill passed by Congress last year allows aid to children of all business owners.
Congress decreed that when determining how much each family can afford to contribute to a child's college education, the federal government should not consider the assets of owners of businesses with 100 full-time employees (in other words, the rich) or "Or fewer" is the saving grace. The insertion was made when considering that small-business owners should be treated the same as family farmers, who aren't expected to mortgage their property to pay for college. Note the federal government will consider the income of all business owners.
Since the cost of college tuition keeps on rising, a change in the law was needed because it can be difficult and expensive for owners of small businesses to tap the value of assets such as tools or inventory to pay tuition bills. One hundred employees is kind of stretching the need though. So ever since the bill was passed, accountants and financial planners have been searching and developing strategies to legally help wealthy entrepreneurs take advantage of this new federal definition of "need" by minimizing incomes and storing wealth as business assets.
For example, one financial consultant in Rochester, N.Y., helped a client move property worth $700,000 into a limited partnership in order to reduce taxes and improve his children's eligibility for need-based aid. This new exemption changes advice given from accountants to their clients with college-bound children.
This new exemption is a major advantage for small-business families. Another financial advisor reported allowing one client's child to qualify for a federally subsidized student loan even though the parent's business was worth more than a million. Before this exemption, the parents could have paid more than $70,000 a year for college tuition awarding the child no need-based aid.
How many will be able to take advantage of this is unknown. About 14 percent of the parents who file their profile aid application reported owning a business. The Census Bureau reports that 98 percent of the nation's businesses have 99 or fewer employees. Of course, college aid officers must obey federal rules in passing through federal Pell grants and Stafford loans. But some are refusing extra school-funded need-based scholarships to students from families with significant business assets in order to make sure our need-based aid and studentloans are going to the real neediest of students.

Student Loan Rates - Tips For Student Loans
Student Loan Rates - Tips For Student Loans
by Joel Davis
Getting a college education for many people sees the need for a student loan. Finding the best student loan rate of interest from a financial institution is an important consideration that may save you money when the time comes for student loan repayment.
Generally a student loan is not required to repaid until the student graduates and has finished his or her schooling. It's very easy during the educational period to be unconcerned about a loan and not have some sort of repayment plan in mind.
The student loan rates will then be an important factor as the graduate will be starting a new job, possibly finding new accommodation, and have travel and living costs to cover. Every cent will count in the beginning and even a difference of 1% in the student loan repayment will have an effect on living standards.
Read the contract fine print;
Some lenders charge fees to set up a student loan that can increase the cost of the loan. Often a lender will offer a low interest rate that seems most competitive. However these low rates are often off set or can actually cost more due to the student loan fees that are charged.
On the flip side lenders that don't charge the fees will roll over the costs into the interest rate. As a general rule three to four percent in fees is about the same as a one percent higher interest rate.
Check to see if the student loan interest rate is fixed or variable, a fixed loan may be more expensive than a variable rate at the time of application but if the variable rates are to rise in the future the fixed loan would have been the best option.
This is something where the student will have to consider the economy and seek out advice on the direction of future interest rates. Use a student loan calculator to calculate future loan interest rates. This can give you a general idea of what the loan will cost you per month but remember it is only an estimate.
At the time of writing a Stafford Federal loan has a 6.80% fixed student loan rate. Compared to a student loan rate with an average private loan rate of 8.25%, you'll quickly see why many students turn to the Federal government for the best loan rates.
Find out when the interest begins accruing. Typically, the student loan rates won't take affect until six weeks until after you graduate. That means you have time to save up in order to pay your loans back. But you should make sure of this so that you're not caught by surprise when that first bill becomes due.
It's always a smart thing to shop around for the best student loan rates available to you; you may get lucky and find even a better loan than a Stafford loan has to offer. Taking these steps will give you peace of mind and be stress free, allowing you to focus on your main goal, completing your studies and getting the education to go out and get that great job or business you deserve.

Student Loans And Student Loan Refinancing
Student Loans And Student Loan Refinancing
by Melissa Kellett
Are you wondering how you are going to pay for college? Something unexpected happened and you will need to refinance your student loans? Do not worry, here are some explanations on the different types of student loans and refinance student loans and how to get approved without hassles.
You either need a loan or you need to refinance your current debt. First of all you need to decide how much money you will need, which loan type is best for you; you will also need to decide whether this is the right time to do it and how you are going to pay for it. All these questions need to be answered prior to applying for a student loan or refinance student loan and even before doing some research and requesting loan quotes.
Loan Amount
The amount of money you will need does not only have to cover tuition, studying material, and any other college related costs, but also accommodation, transportation and other expenses that you will have to face due to living away from home. Once you have added up all your expenses, it is a good idea to add a 15% over that amount for unexpected expenses that always arise.
Loan Types
For starters, we will analyze government student loans. Federal Loans carry, as regular loans, capital and interests. Though the interest rate charged is lower than private loans, so is the loan amount. Under certain circumstances the interest can be subsidized and not charged. Otherwise the interest, though present, is deferred till after graduation. Moreover, the capital can also be deferred till after graduation and sometimes you can get a government grant so you will not have to reimburse the money at all.
Private student loans, on the other hand, have higher interest rates but you can request higher loan amounts. There are mainly two types of private student loans: Secured Student Loans and Unsecured Student Loans. Generally, secured student loans are requested by parents who have a property to use as collateral in order to pay for their sons/daughters' tuition. Unsecured Student Loans are generally requested by student themselves and do not require collateral in order to be approved.
Refinancing Or Consolidating Your Student Debt
If you can not meet your monthly payments or you want to take advantage of better market conditions you may want to refinance your student loans. By refinancing you will take a loan in order to cancel previous debt. When a single loan is used to repay more than one loan or other debt, the process is known as consolidating. There are loans specially tailored for this purpose: Consolidation Loans. And there are even loans of this kind designed to consolidate only student debt.
By refinancing or consolidating student debt you can save thousands of dollars on interests. Moreover, by consolidating you will get a single monthly payment instead of several bills. However, bear in mind that refinancing makes sense only if you can save money by doing so or at least reduce your monthly payments so you can afford them without sacrifices.

There are loans specially tailored for this purpose: Consolidation Loans. And there are even loans of this kind designed to consolidate only student debt.
By refinancing or consolidating student debt you can save thousands of dollars on interests. Moreover, by consolidating you will get a single monthly payment instead of several bills. However, bear in mind that refinancing makes sense only if you can save money by doing so or at least reduce your monthly payments so you can afford them without sacrifices.
