Where can I get a good deal on consolidation for my private student loan?
I have loans with the Student Loan Corporation through CitiBank, and I think they're too generous with themselves. I pay a whopping 8.250% on a 46,000 principal balance. Can I do better?

- Look for loans through Sallie Mae. I'm not sure of the website-probably sallie mae.com or something close to that. That is how I consolidated my student loans.
- Sallie Mae can help you consolidate private student loans: http://www.salliemae.com/consolidate. Your interest rate is based on your credit rating, so finding a co-signer with good credit can help bring the rate down.
- Yes. Collegiate Solutions has consolidation rates as low a 4%. Their # is 877-490-6639, or visit SchoolWork.org as they feature reviews, details and options for student loan consolidation programs. See link below: http://www.schoolwork.org/student-loan-consolidation.html
- Possibly. Contact http://www.studentaidlending.com and ask for Crystal when you call them. Do you 100% have private loans or FFELP loans, Direct loans and a private loan? I'd need a little more information to help you. If you feel comfortable emailing me more of the situation I can assist you better. tory@toryforpresident.com. Private loans do sort of screw you over for consolidation. You may want to consolidate all of your other loans and not your private loan. Like I said, I'd need more info to assist you better.
