With this credit crisis going on interest rates are getting higher and higher. Is there any relief out there are people with private student loans? The LIBOR 3 month rate continues to go higher and I am just wondering what options are out there for us.

I have no idea what you are talking about. The libor interest rate has dropped almost 4% over the past year. Anyone who has private student loans based on this index are extremely lucky. Everytime the fed cut rates, this drops as a reaction.

There are plenty of options: you could always consolidate your student loans. As the above poster noted student loan interest rates have been within a historically low range. Of course, if you have bad credit then find a good rate could be an issue.

There is no help for private student loans. I have been looking for consolidation companies and all but 1 or 2 companies have stopped offering consolidation on private loans. And I applied with my excellent credit and got offered a rate of 11%! Almost 3% higher than what it is now. Your only choice is to just stick with what you have. Maybe choose a different payment schedule to lower the payments. But unless you have a Libor based variable loan, you don't have much of a chance in getting a lower interest rate.

Don't worry there's plenty of us in the same boat.
