A UK Student loan debt consolidation program may become necessary if you borrowed your student loan under the pre-1998 and post 1998 student loan arrangement. Student loan debt consolidation UK may also be necessary if you have a student loan repayment as a self employed worker, along with other loans. Assess all options before you now.

The good news is that, unlike their counterpart in the US with a US student loan debt grace period of nine months from graduation, UK students are not required to make repayments until they earn £15000.00 or more per annum. Payments are also deducted directly from their salaries like PAYE tax system.

Self employed graduates are however required to agree to a repayment program with the Student Loan Company – a UK government "set up" to administer the repayment of student loan, so too are those in foreign employments once their income reaches that repayment threshold of £15000.00 per annum.

For those who took out a UK student loan before September 1998, they are required to start repayments the April after you stopped attending classes or graduated. The loan is stretched out over 60 to 80 months period, more like a mortgage repayment, and interest applied from the pint the loan was paid out to you.

If you have both types of student loans and other loans, and are struggling to keep up repayments, a UK student loan debt consolidation may be the way for you. This will involve rolling both forms of loan into a single monthly loan, stretched over time. The current interest rate on loans taken before September 1998 is 2.4%. It is therefore very important that you do not mix up your student loan debt consolidation with that from credit cards or other sources, as you will loose out on the exceptionally low interest rate offered currently.
