Arе thеѕе set up lіkе credit cards, whеrе уου hаνе tο pay οn time everytime аnd іf уου miss a payment аnd try tο mаkе up fοr іt bу sending extra, thеу′ll add οn thеіr fee аnd raise уουr interest tο whatever thеу want tο charge?

Yeah, the catch is you can’t defer payments anymore. So you’d have to declare bankruptcy.
But the legit ones do lower your interest and hence your payments.
I signed up for a consolidation loan last year after extensive research. They all offer the same interest rate which is set by the federal government. The only differences between the hundreds of consolidators is that some offer discounts of . 25 to 1 percent for paying on time or setting up electronic payments. Just check who offers the best deal and sign up. Once you have consolidated, which you don’t need to do until you graduate, you can throw all that mail from other consolidators in the trash without even looking at it.
