You will need to provide some basic demographic information including:
Name
Address
Phone Number
Social Security Number
Date of Birth
Drivers License Number
You will also need to provide a list of all of your education loans including:
Type of each loan (Stafford Subsidized, Stafford Unsubsidized, etc)
Name of your current lender for each loan
Your current Interest rate for each loan
Your outstanding loan balance for each loan
If you dont have your loan info, you can look it up on the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) (www.nslds.ed.gov/nslds_SA/) using your FAFSA pin. If you dont have your FAFSA pin, call the company you want to consolidate your loans and they can help you.
