			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you have finished college or you are soon to finish college the credit companies will know that you are about to and will be filling up your mailboxes with a stack of information on College Student Loan Consolidation. It is something that you should consider as you can get everything into one easy payment, you will have a fixed interest rate and you can reduce your monthly payments by paying off over a longer period of time.</p>
<p>However some of them have catches, yeah who would have thought that those people who are asking you for all that interest would put in a catch or two in order to make sure that they get the most from you.</p>
<p>If you are being offered an all in one College Student Loan Consolidation then you will probably be asked to put everything you own into one big loan and pay off over a longer period. However if you have a Federal Student Loan you could be losing out on some benefits such as the low interest rate cap of 8.25% on top of that you could end up giving up your deferment options. Make sure you know what the lender will charge as a maximum interest rate and if you decide to go back to school will they give you a suspension on the loan.</p>
<p>If you are going for Automatic Withdraw then your college student loan consolidation should you not have enough money in your account when they go to take their payment you can end up with charges that you do not want. It takes ten business days to stop an automatic payment so should you be a little light one month then you need to act early or you could lose end up paying more than you want to.</p>
<p>Stay in touch with your college student loan consolidation lender or you could end up loosing your discounts or benefits that came with the loan. Why does this happen? Well if there is a possibility that you have bolted and moved without informing your lender they will start to think that you have no intention of paying back the loan and will put charges in place after just a few bounced emails.</p>
<p>These are just a few of the pitfalls you could face and even though a College Student Loan Consolidation is a fantastic way to reduce what you are paying and get it into one really simple payment but you need to stay in touch and by doing this you will be the one to benefit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of consequences to defaulting on your student loans.  Before you borrow, you must have the mindset that you are responsible for paying back every dollar, plus interest that you borrow.</p>
<p>Going to school online costs money.  Taking classes at a local community college costs money tool  Add the cost of a traditional institutions and you can understand that costs are always involved. In fact, going to school costs more than most students can afford.  The majority of students need to rely on loans to help them get through. You should know that no matter which loans you use to pay for school, you must pay all of them back.</p>
<p>What happens if you don&#8217;t pay back your loans?  Loan defaults continue to rise in today&#8217;s economy and the impact is very negative for those individuals who cannot or choose not to repay them.  Financial difficulties, employment problems, and relationship issues can all result</p>
<p>When you fail to pay back your loans, your credit score will be negatively impacted. In fact, this information can stay on your credit report for more than five years after it has been discharged.  This significantly hurts your ability to get future loans, rent and apartment or buy a house.  Anything that requires an application will more than likely reference your credit.  Companies do not want to sell you anything unless they know that you have the ability to pay for it.</p>
<p>Bad credit not only has negative consequences for your financial well being, but your personal relationships as well.  When you are struggling financially, relationships are strained and difficulties persist.  When creditors come calling, tensions run high.  Do your best to ensure that you are not in this situation.  It can start a chain of events that negatively impacts your personal well being and that of your most important relationships.</p>
<p>For those who are able to get back on their feed and repay their loans, the difficulties associated with a lapse in repayment can stay around for a while.  Once a credit score is damage, repairing that score takes work and time. If you find yourself in that type of situation, your focus should be on improving that score and making all financial payments on time for at least three years.</p>
<p>Student loans are rarely forgiven by financial institutions or government agencies.  If you are struggling to make your monthly payments for any reason, immediately contact your lender to work out a positive resolution to the problem.  Often individuals wait until it is too late to improve the situation and regret it afterwards.</p>
<p>The one thing to keep in mind is that if you get into a difficult situation, often times you can work with your lender to restructure your loan.  By stretching out your loan repayment or taking advantage of other repayment programs, you lender can lessen the short term burden and get you through the rough patch.  The key is to never get into a repayment issue.  If you do however, admit your problems to your lender and see how they can help.</p>
