I an planning on going back to school but I am in default on a previous student loan in the amount of $4,259.77. DCS has my loan and I called them about getting out of default so I can go back to school. They offered me a consolidation plan saying if I make 3 consecutive monthly payments Of $50.00 I will be out of default and will be able to receive student aid again. Will consolidation get me out of default and will it only take me 3 months and not 6 or so like I have heard of before? Or are they just feeding me a line of BS just to get my money? I have never dealt with credit collectors before but I know that they are not the most honest companies out there and I am uneasy about trusting them.

The six months of payments is referring to rehab. With consolidation, simply entering into repayment and doing the consolidation application and having the consolidation fund WILL get you out of default and eligible for FA again. Consolidation usually takes about 60 days.
