I graduated in May ’06 with 15k worth of Student loans. My interest is a little over 7%. I thought it should be lower! I heard that the cheapest loan Student loans, you will find anywhere, and that the rate of 3% -4%. I heard consolidate to lower your rate, but I only have a loan!
Interest rates vary depending on the type of student loan you have. If you’re on all Stafford loans lent you say, yes, they generally have the lowest Zinsen.gerade now the interest rate on Stafford loans is 6 8%. (Perkins loans have been a little less than 5%.) Rate Stafford loans not in the range of 3-4% for several years gewesen.Ihre best bet is to contact your lender and ask how your interest rate was fixed. It is possible that they made a mistake, I’ve seen before (but often do not answer!). Your first question may be, your lenders interest rate reduction incentives. I, for example, a small discount for the percentage of loans made by my students with my monthly payments directly debited from my checking account. I figure every little bit counts!
If you have Stafford loans, the interest rate will be the best you have received loans at the time, while almost 7% and can not sound as good as 3-4%, it is much better than a loan of 11% of the Bank or a 15% credit card. If all your loans before July 2006, the interest rate is variable, interest rates go down, so with the interest rate on student loans, but your rate is guaranteed never to be 8% From 25 . When you consolidate your loans you have a fixed interest rate which is slightly higher than what you have now.
