I have a private student loan that I took out during school. The interest rate is ridiculous, but of course I was young and doing it all alone, and didn’t realize this at the time (I was also a victim of credit fraud so at the time my credit was horrible). I want to refinance this loan. I’ve never missed a payment.. . is this even possible to do? It’s only the ONE loan, but I want to know if it’s possible to get a better interest rate now that my credit is better. I appreciate any help! Thanks!

I received a letter stating my loan application had been approved. The funds had been dispursed to this creditor. I have an application in hand from another source with the same creditor but a lower interest. I NEVER filled out an application. I did fill out something online a while back that was supposed to help find someone to help me payback my loan …. not a loan application. Is this legal? What are my options? I’m not even sure I want to consolidate because my interest right now is lower than the consolidation rate and it is making me pay 10,000 in interest. The loan amounts from this one company that says they already dispursed the amount is almost 500 different than what I owe … like there are some fees associated …. that I am not aware of. Aren’t I supposed to see everything hard copy to review it first before a loan application can be processed? Such as fees and interest rate …. etc?

I’m looking into consolidating my federal loans. If I submit an application to find out if I am approved, I will have to give the ok before the consolidation goes through, correct? I just want to make sure that by submitting this application they won’t automatically approve me and then I’ll be screwed if the interest rate sucks. I would just call the company, but I am at work right now and can’t use the phone. Any ideas? I’m going through citibank.

How quick can you recieve a Stafford student loan after applying? Does it vary in between companies? Can you recommend me a company that is quick, or lower interest rate. Obviously pay after graduation.
