Like any form of consolidation a private student loan consolidation is when a borrower is allowed to combine multiple private loans under one single private lender at a new interest rate. This allows debtors to find payment relief by spreading the repayment over longer time duration and making the installments for the loan easier. Often it is possible for lenders to consolidate education related credit card debt into the loan but the debtor should have a good credit history or a reliable cosigner.

The advantages of a private loan consolidation are: Lowers fixed rates and longer deferment time periods Single easy monthly payments rather than multiple payments Collateral not needed loan given against previous history No penalties on pre-payment

The advantages of loan consolidation cumulatively are more since multiple loans are easily consolidated into a single loan. A fixed interest rate then helps lower the monthly payments compared to a variable rate loan. Homeowners are allowed to retain the equity on their homes without taking out additional mortgages to repay previous debts.

A student who wants to opt for this must have completed at least 30 days of graduation and begin the loan application process in a expedient manner. The consolidator must be a US citizen and be 18 years of age. The must be fully disbursed within the time limit and their will be no penalties imposed. Private student loan consolidation allows the main burden of debt to be lifted from the students and/or parents shoulder and allow them to work and repay the single loan taken in a proactive manner.
