My girlfriend has an outstanding student loan of $3,000 with 8% annual interest day. What’s the best way to refinance this loan in order to reduce the payments? If you know any good student loan programs, I would like to hear about them.

Students who are looking for a bad credit student loan should pick three schools they are most interested in, talk to the admissions office, and ask what is needed to apply in their school.A bad creditdepending on whether you are a homeowner or not. The rate of interest to be paid on unsecured bad credit student loans is higher than that on secured bad credit student loans. This is because the secured bad credit student loans are backed by your home as a security.

Before you look into consolidating/refinancing your loan, check with your current lender to see if you can reduce payments or defer them for a short period of time.
If the problem is that the current payments are too high or if you are in between jobs then definitely check with your lender, but be aware that reducing your payments or delaying your payments will significantly add to the total amount that you’ll end up paying.
Good luck!

Typically lenders won’t do a refinance for any amount less than $7,500, it’s just too costly for them to make sense.
Contact the current lender to see if the offer any type of rate reduction program. Some lenders offer a discount if you allow them to auto deduct the payment from your checking account, also if you have a good payment history you may get a discount for that.
