Refinancing student loans - A good idea?

cherStudent loan refinancing, otherwise known as student debt
consolidation, is a system whereby a new loan can be taken out to
pay for a collection of old ones.
For example, if you've got a mortgage loan, an auto loan (or car
loan) and a personal loan (like a loan for a private holiday) you
could go to one of these businesses that consolidate consumer
credit and ask them to refinance your college loan.

refinance them by paying them all off and giving you just one loan
to deal with.

So instead of spending 30 years paying off 4 amounts that you've
borrowed, you only need to pay off one, plus interest of course.
And instead of 30 years it may only take 15 or 20.
Be very wary of some companies though. It may look like an easy
way out but if the interest is flexible it could mean that, if you
miss one payment, your interest rate suddenly doubles or trebles.
Always read the fine print.
"Hmm, but if, after refinancing my loan, I can pay everything off
within only 15 years, that means I could get another loan to go on
holiday. Great!" Noooo!!!!
