25k over 10 years

Hi,

My SO is looking to consolidate all is student debt (25k) with a lower interest loan over 10 years or more.

He's renting now and having just found out today ( the date of entry) that his mortgage application has been refused because there was no real bedroom in flat) - he wants to stop looking for 6 months or so.

We would really appreciate being sent in the right direction.

Many Thanks

    I don't think a consolidation loan is the way to deal with this at all. If I were you I would post a thread on the Debt Free Wannabe forum with a breakdown of what all the debts are. I'm sure you'll get lots of good advice on the best way forward, and I'm sure a loan isn't one of them.
