Can you use a student debt consolidation loan for personal use?

I have researched online and am still not clear on how this works. I really need a personal loan to help out with some other bills and am no longer able to take my classes. I am now in deferrment on my federal loan and they don't do credit checks or anything for a consolidation loan. Just curious.

  1. no, you dont get any money when you consolidate. it just changes the terms of your loans.
  2. Depending wich type of student loan consolidation. Private (finance companies) consolidations may accept to include personal debts in the loan. Good luck !
