Hi, back in 06, I was mislead by Sallie Mae through the consolidation process (another story all together) and long story short, I have did not consolidated my stafford loans. It equals to about 22k. My question is, since I am extremely dissatified with Sallie Mae’s service and dishonesty so far – can I switch to another company now and maybe consolidate at a later time?

good luck, i also hate sallie mae, and i am in the act of charging my loan to a interest free credit card, its only 4k though. if it is a federal loan you could try to switch it to AES(i have a larger one with them), i think the rate is about 6% instead of Sallie’s butt raping 10.25, hope this helps and good luck!

Yes you can consolidate anytime. You can get up to four competing offers for student loan consolidations at finfo.com with no obligation. I would also check out financialaid.com or talk to a banker at Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is known for doing a lot of student lending.
There is no legal obligation to stick with Sallie Mae. In a loan consolidation they get paid by whoever takes over the loan. Sallie Mae will just miss out on future interest income from your loan.
Good luck!
