I graduated a year ago and am trying to figure out whether or not to consolidate my student loans. I have about 21,000 to pay back. I have a perkins loan, 4 self loans all through Firstmark Services, and one stafford through Great Lakes. My interest rates are pretty low but sometimes I find myself overwhelmed keeping track of them. One of them is on automatic payment. Any suggestions??? Thank you!</DIV> Tue, 05 Aug 2008 23:19:25 GMT Hoppsa 2008-08-05T23:19:25Z https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Student-Loans/To-consolidate-or-to-not-consolidate/m-p/310455#M1113 <DIV>Hello all!
