FAQ: What if I decide I don’t want to include all of my loans once I find out my refinance loan interest rate?

A: When applying, you will be asked to list all the loans you may wish to include in your refinancing. If after being approved you decide that you want to remove loans from your list, you can simply contact us by phone or email to indicate which loans should be removed. With the removal of loan(s), the minimum loan amount must still be at least $7,500.
