I've been distracted with finishing up my last semester so I completely forgot to apply for the double consolidation loophole so I'm hopefully trying to get the consolidation done before the July 1 deadline. When I go to consolidate the PP loan, it tells me that

" Parent PLUS Loans Limit This Consolidation

Your parent PLUS Loans aren't eligible for an income-driven repayment plan, when consolidated with other federal loans. To enroll in the Repayment Assistance Plan, remove your parent PLUS loans from this loan consolidation application. "

Does anyone know what this is about? From my research, this shouldn't happen and I should be able to select the left option "Repay Based on My Income - Income-Driven Repayment (IDR) Plans".

However, I've read some conflicting information on that apparently you have to select the fixed payment plan and once you make your first payment you can switch it to an IDR plan? Not too sure the validity on that.

Any help would be appreciated!
