Can I consolidate student loans that are already in forbearance?

I have several federal and private grad school loans. Right now I am paying off the private loans and the federal loans are in forbearance. Can I consolidate the loans in forbearance? Would this be benificial? At the very least it will stem the tide of consolidators calling at all hours of the day and night.

Thanks,

Deborah

Answer:
yes you can..in a forbearance the good thing is you are only temporarily not making and/or extending your due date for payments..if you were under a bankruptcy chapter then you would need to consult an atty to see if you could do it or not.yes it would be beneficial because it will show a settled debt on your cbr, may lower your interest and payment and the calls will stop
yes, you can consolidate them. the advantages would depend on you situation though, so it may not be beneficial.
I hope this helps you:
