How can a person consolidate their loans clear down cheaper than the federal government originally offers it for? There must be a catch for these companies to make money, right? Are these set up like credit cards, where you have to pay on time everytime and if you miss a payment and try to make up for it by sending extra, they’ll add on their fee and raise your interest to whatever they want to charge? Does it lock up everything you own as well?

My father accidentally did what is called a “double consolidation” on his student loans. Now he has two companies asking for repayment on the same loan. We’ve contacted both companies and they both say that we should repay the first company and it will cancel out the second consolidation. We did that but my father is still getting bills from the second company. I’m not sure if we should just ignore them or should we contact both companies again and see what is going on. Does anybody have any advice on what we should do?
