  • Only go for a student loan consolidation lender who has an experience of more than 10 years in dealing with student loan consolidation program. There is no point opting for a lender who has just entered into the field of student loan consolidation.
  • Most of the time, lenders will advertise lucrative student loan consolidation deals in the newspapers and television. If the deal does not sound practical, stay away from it because there is a good chance that it is a scam.
  • If the lender is charging you upfront fee for student loan consolidation, it is recommended that you stay away from them. This is because of the simple reason that reputed lenders do not charge any kind of fee in their student loan consolidation program.
  • Customer services are also quite an important factor in student loan consolidation program. If the lender is not giving you good enough services, there is a strong possibility that they are a scam.
  • Go to the office of student loan consolidation lender before availing their student loan consolidation program. This will give you a feel of how they operate and what kind of staff they possess.
  • If the lender is promising you huge discounts in terms of interest rates, it means that they are scam because they only get a limited amount of income from you and if they give huge discounts in interest rates, what they are going to earn.
  • Take the help of your financial adviser before signing an agreement.
  • If the lender is not giving you a grace period in initial stages, it means that something is wrong with them.
