I’m looking into consolidating my student loans that I have accumulated over the past 5 years. I have a mix of private as well as federal loans. Is there any company that will allow me to combine all of them into say, a 15 year loan. My private lenders are requiring me to repay within 4 years. So my payments are like 0/month! …on top of my federal loan payments.
Any advise would be great.
