Private College Student Loan

What is a good company to consolidate private student loans with?

I would like to consolidate my private student loans but don't want to be subject to the pitfalls of those attractive offers like "Consolidate now and get a check fo $1000.00." I read the fine print of all the mail offers I receive but I don't trust any of them enough to persue them. I have about 40k to consolidate and will be returning to school in January to add a few more thousand. Has anyone already consolidated and had a good experience? I would be moving from Sallie Mae as my servicer. Please note, these are for private loans, not federal. Thanks in advance! I would prefer not to consolidate with Sallie Mae. I had a rather awful experience with them recently and partly look to reconsolidate so that they are no longer my loan servicer .

1. Sallie Mae can consolidate your private student loans and then you won't have to move them: http://www.salliemae.com/consolidate
2. Student Aid Lending has been really really awsome to work with in the past. Their web page is http://www.studentaidlending.com Their customer service ROCKS and they were really cool about teaching me everything I needed to know about my loans. Feel free to email me if you want me to get you in contact with them (toryforpresident@yahoo.com) or give them a call, their #'s on the web page and tell them Tory Davidson referred you. Ask for Crystal- she's the best!!!!!! ps. you can use these guys even if your loans are from Sallie Mae. It doesn't matter who your original lender(s) are.
