Creative loan payoff strategies
Students Get Creative to Pay Off Loans, an article from the Miami Herald.
"If you've already used your one-time ticket to consolidate your student loans and you're now stuck with a less than attractive rate, it pays to get creative." The article suggests using a home equity line of credit to pay off student loans, as well as suggesting switching federal loan programs, paying loans off with private education loans, or taking out new student loans. Unfortunately, it does not mention any of the current consolidation refinancing legislation before Congress.
