Your student loan interest rates might go up on July 1st. There's still time to consolidate -- but not much. Shuffling those papers can make you miss the deadline. If a lender promises you that you can make the deadline, record the call (if legal) or get a guarantee faxed to you. If they never taught you about student loans in school, you can learn the basics of student loan consolidation in our FAQ.
