    Consolidation loans are often a poor idea, especially  a secure one. Better off if you go to the Debt Free Wannabe board and post up your situation.

    You'd be unwise to use a consolidation loan to transfer consumer debt into a loan that takes longer to pay off.

    You'd be very unwise to turn unsecured debt into secured debt. Fail to pay unsecured debt and you get defaults which clear in 6 years time. Fail to pay secured debt and you lose the roof over your head.

    Have you spoken to the University debt advisor? Can you take a lodger (tax-free)? How long before you qualify?

    And your credit score is a marketing ploy, what matters is your credit record. 

    Head over to the DFW forum with the answers.
