Interest rates (Sallie Mae) will most likely be going up on July 1. I have received many, many offers in the mail to consolidate my school loans (these are similar to credit card offers). I do want to lock in at a fixed lower rate before rates increase. Currently, rates vary from 2.75% to 4.75%. What do I need to know to not get screwed? Are some companies more reputable than others? How would I find out? Are there hidden fees to be worried about? I graduate this June.

i ran into some problems with money and i need a student loan around 00. do anyone have any good and trustworthy places? i have a credit card to a bank but im not sure if they will give me a student loan? any advice will help. thankyou

I am at the final stage of paying off credit card balances. Just one more month, yippee!!!! I’ve also already paid off my car loan 7 months before the maturation date. Anyway, I still have close to ,000 in student loan debts- federal and private. But that’s it. I have never had any major credit problems. Will all this student loan debt have a negative impact on my credit score and rating?
I always make the payments on time every month.

I have one credit card ( revolving credit ) and I have one student loan ( fixed monthly payments ). I want to keep one revolving account and one fixed account. Would a bank loan that pays off the student loan look better as a fixed loan? I guess my question is: Do they both count as fixed loans or is the bank loan a more "authentic" fixed loan?
