It is a condition granted by your lender. The lender may postpone making payments on your loan under certain conditions. To request a deferment from EdFed, please call us at (800) 821-5659.
However, you will have to pay the interest charged on all other federally-guaranteed student loans during a deferment period. Either pay the interest as it accrues or allow it to accumulate and be capitalized when the deferment period ends.
If you have any questions about the federal loan consolidation process, please email us or call (800) 821-5659 to talk to an expert loan advisor.
How EdFed Helped others!
The first time I called in I spoke with a loan consultant immediately. The representative that I spoke with was knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. He took me through each step of the application and explained all of the details. He was extremely friendly and I thank him deeply for helping me through the consolidation process. - Greg M. , NC
