Can I consolidate my student loans if they've been taken over by a creditor?


Robert J asks: I have two student loans for about 3000 dollars each. I have been unemployed for several years taking care of my kid and haven’t make any payments on the loans. Now a creditor has taken my student loans over. I now owe 9,000 thanks to fees, penalties and interest.
