Tell me about them.



Tried to get them consolidated so I only have one payment. Before I consolidated them I had 2 loans through Great Lakes, one through Sallie Mae and one through the Department of Education. Now that they're "consolidated" I have one through Great Lakes, two through Sallie Mae and one through the Department of Education. What the heck was the point?

Do you remember anything from those Exit and Entry counselings?

Wait until you get car or home loans. Or rack up credit card debts. They are much worse.

I never had a home loan, but I've had several auto loans. Nothing compared to this monster of an education loan.

I suppose if you're talking about the sum, then, yeah, it's more. But, in terms of interest, when, and how long you have to pay off, student loans are much more friendlier.

The interest rate is about 3% on the student loans. I'm trying to get on the income sensitive payment plan (I forget the exact name of it). I was hoping to get just one payment, but it doesn't seem to be working like that.

I don't even know what plan I chose.
I think it was the long term but low monthly payment plan.

I need to reread that before it all ends.

Your loan consolidation exp's scaring me, man!

I'm going to call them on Monday. The big reasons for the consolidation was to get the one payment, and get my loans away from Sallie Mae. I can't stand calling their customer support. They always have Indians answering their phones and I can't understand a single word they say.

If all else fails, default. lol

I don't want the free education, I just want one freaking payment.

Good luck!
I know it can't be as bad as talking to a Bank Of America customer service staff in Jakarta.
