If you are referring to bankruptcy, filed after 10/17/2005, the answer is probably no. The new law makes ANY loan for educational benefit non-dischargeable unless you can 'pass' a VERY stringent test for proving undue hardship.
no. you will have to consolidate separately. with a federal lender then a private lender.
Depends on how long the loan had been in repayment, whether or not it was insured by a non-profit. Please note that most federal loans are issued by private banks and INSURED by the government.
Yes you are.
You need to discuss it with your lender. The present mortgage would need to be discharged and the new mortgage executed if the lender agrees.You need to discuss it with your lender.

Sometimes private student loans can be consolidated depending on certain factors including the rules of your lender, whether you are in deferrment or default and your credit score. You cannot however, consolidate federal student loans and private student loans together.
Private student loans are not due immediately after graduation. The loan terms can differ from state to state and details can be obtained directly from the lender.
A private student loan is like any other private loan. Each private lender will determine what qualifications they require the student to meet before they will lend out their money. Some lenders will want some form of collateral and others will base their decision solely on the student's ability to repay the loan.
OP here with more details: the private student loans they are cosigned on are current/paid on time, but other private student loans (with the same lender) are about to default. Can this in any way cause problems for my cosigner?
Student loans are issued by private lenders whose qualifications may differ. Probably not -HOWEVER- check with your lender.
A private loan lender is a lender that is acting on behalf of a privately owned organization or business, as opposed to a government regulated or non profit lender.
Only if it's part of the terms of your alternative student loan. Read the loan agreement or ask your lender. There is no law that requires the lender of a private/alternative student loan to offer you that option, and alternative student loans in general have none or very limited deferments other then in-school.
When looking for student loans many students choose private loans with Chase and FinAid or a local business. This varies from student to student based on personal scholarships, credit, financial aid, etc.
