Some student loans carriers buy and sell the accounts to other banks on a regular basis. They are all about the same. One IMPORTANT thing to look into is the "type" of the consolidation. Many companies will forgive student debt after you have worked for them for 10 years. When my son-in-law applied to have his debts forgiven, he was told that they were not the right "kind" of student loan. Ask lots of questions.
