In the US, it depends on whether your loans are with DIRECT or FFELP. If you have FFELP loans, you are eligible to consolidate. If you have direct loans and have never consolidated before, then you are eligible. If you previously consolidated your FFELP loans, then you may be eligible to reconsolidate. If you previously consolidated your Direct loans, then you are not eligible to consolidate again.

Click on my user name, "Studentloaner", below to obtain my contact information. Here is some useful information about defaulted loans:There are only 2 ways to get out of default on your Federally Guaranteed student loans.Contact your collection company or student loan servicer and request to enter the rehabilitation program. Most people qualify, but I have seen some refused when the default is over 10 years old. In the rehabilitation program, you will need to make 9-12 on-time payments in addition to your garnishment. After the 9-12 on-time payments, they should stop the garnishment, but you will stay in a default status until your Rehabed loans are sold to a new lender. In the past, that was an easy process, but in these turbulent financial times, other lenders are not buying rehabed loans. So, with this option your loans will stay in a Default status for the forseeable future.The second way you can get out of default and have your garnishment lifted is to consolidate your loans. These days very few Federal lenders will consolidate defaulted loans and your lender will probably not release the loan for consolidation while in a garnishment stage. The good news is, there are a few companies out there that will help you get a garnishment lifted and find a Federal lender to consolidate the loans.If you need additional help getting your loans out of default, click on my user name, "studentloaner", below.
