Student Loans Q&A credit card, federal loans, interest rates, maxed out, seperatly, Student Loans Q&A 4 Comments
I have 3 student loans out from college: 1 state, 1 federal, and 1 from my bank and a maxed out credit card that I am paying off. Is there a way I can consolidate all of these together for a lower monthy payment? Right now I pay each bill seperatly and the interest rates keep climbing! Any advice? I am under the impression that I cannot consolidate state and federal loans together…am I wrong about this?

If a person has accumulated a large amount of credit card debt due to multiple credit cards, the need for a proper counseling for credit card debt consolidation can’t be understated. Credit card debt consolidation counseling helps a person get vital insights into the facts that can help him get control over the credit card debt.
Credit card debt consolidation counselors are experts with a good knowledge of debt management, budgeting and behavioral patterns of credit card holders. These services are vital for those struggling to manage their credit card debts. Also called credit counseling or debt counseling the credit card debt consolidation counseling brings immediate relief to a credit card holder.
A person seeking credit counseling can get it from two types of organizations. The professional or commercial organizations, and the non-profit organizations. As depicted by its name or categorization, the commercial organizations charge money for their credit counseling sessions and consolidation help on the other hand the non-profit organizations offer free of charge services. Just because the non-profit organizations are free, it doesn’t undermine their quality of service. The persons associated with such organizations are thorough experts and have lived the trauma of being under credit card debt themselves and hence bring their vital experience to the credit card holder.

You won’t be able to consolidated your student loans with your credit card. I guess you could get a personal loan to pay off everything, but that is a terrible idea.
Consolidate your student loans into one payment, that will help. You should apply at a couple of places as they all have slightly different perks. (discounts for auto deduction of payment, on time payment discounts, etc.)
A couple you can try is Student Loan Advisors at http://www.StudentLoanAdvisors.com/ and Chase Bank has an online student loan consolidation offer you can find through http://www.usadegrees.com/consolidate/
After you consolidate your the student loans, you can put the extra money each month toward paying off the credit card.. I think that would be the best way to handle your current situation.
Good Luck!
