Need help. Trying to consolidate my private student loans. My situation is I had to put my loans in a forbiddence status. I just started my payments and made 2 on time until I had a period of financial trouble and now I am back on my feet (just for a couple of months I was in trouble). During that time my cosigner was recieving letters and phone calls. I was to find out the phone calls and letters was not for the loans I put forbiddence, but there was a small loan that I thought was grouped together with the others and it was not. I got the phone number from my cosigner to take care of it. It was with a collection agency, they told me to send a payment, I did. Now a month later they sent back my payment and I had to track down what was going on. Now this small loan is in default to my surprise. I had the money to send them. I want to consolidate all my loans. I am in still good standing with my other loans. What options are there for me at this time? If I pay off this small loan and it reads on my credit report "charged off paid in full" can I still consolidate my other loans? I have already applied at WELLS FARGO and I can not refinance til this loan is in "good standing" at this point there is no way of making a private loan in default "good standing" .
Please help
