consolidating loans

Hi,
I have jsut finished my masters, and now, thankfully, have a job with a secured income for the next few years. The problem is I have three sepearte loans to pay back, all for quite small amounts, and two overdrafts. I was wondering if it would be best to consolidate them, because the monthly repayments will be a lot :S to consolidate them I would have to borrow about £12-14 k.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Katie

    how much is each debt
    what is the APR
    what is the monthly payment
    how many payments to go

    how much do you earn

    how much can you afford to pay back each month

  • payments will be in pounds £350, and then £550 after January :s
    i'll be earning in euros about 2200,
    it's doable, but mean i'll still be living like a student, better than getting myself into more debt i guess!
