    The point is you might not consolidate. The lender cannot force you to repay your previous loans. Therefore you could end up with all your exisiting loans and blow all the money from the new loan and might not be able to afford them all.
    This is not fair though, lenders could pay off loans etc on your behalf then their can be no deception.
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Must admit... as others pointed out.. while you have met minimum repayments etc... you are living permanently with negative cash to your name.. i.e if they lend you too much you would spiral out of control.

    And they wouldnt get their cashola back.. cant blame them after all.. you have to be profitable for thm.

    I didn't comment on whether it was fair. Its just how it generally works. Lenders get to pick and chose who they lend to.
