[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the responseIf no reason is received your complaint will be closed Administratively Resolved] Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: AES missed the whole point of my complaint!! When AES processed my checks in May, June and July, AES they entered the wrong checking account number in their ACH electronic processing of my check that was made payable to AES AES left off one number of my checking account when they entered my checking account number into their system In May the payment was taken from another persons account at [redacted] He stopped payment in June and July because AES continued to enter the wrong checking account numberThis was verified by Karen the branch manager at the [redacted] Bank [redacted] Paand discussed with Jerry of AES!! Jerry agreed that AES had been entering the incorrect checking account number AES was at fault Jerry said the late fee would be dropped because it was their fault [redacted] Bank declined to honor the check, AES was still using the incorrect checking account number AES was transmitting the account number for another [redacted] Bank customerIt was that person who stopped payment from their account AES continued to enter the wrong checking account number!!! AES says "be advised that when a customer initiates a payment, he or she is required to enter the correct account and routing numbers in order to complete a transaction." I have no access to enter my checking account number in their ACH process!! AES's reply is incorrect They also say "that AES is unable to add digits to an account" What are they talking about? My reference is to an internal process that AES does when they process checksAES continues to take responsibility for an error We all make mistakes My issue is that they will not admit their error!! Just as a continuance of this matter, I mailed a check to them on I have e-mailed them to see if they received the check No reply I checking my banking on line, the check has not been cashed Is this error continuing???Regards, [redacted] ***

When this company took over my existing student loans, I was encouraged to sign up for the 'Automatic Payment' option to ensure that my monthly payments processed on timeI did sign up for this service and once it took into effect things were good for the first two cyclesThen I began getting calls that my account was past due and that I had to make a payment over the phoneThe representatives were rude and lacked informationSince I was the one who was called, I assumed they had all my information or you'd thinkIn both calls, I had to tell the repthat I have signed up for direct debit option which is when I got "Oh I see, there was a red flag on the account which is why I called"Do they not check the account before calling the customer? I got calls days in a row! Then I got another call asking me to verify whether my address was correct since my mail was bouncing back to them! I've had issues with any other mailAnywaysI regret taking loans from this sorry company and will advise anyone else to STAY CLEAR!

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: I sent my change of address information by the proper channels (filling out the backside of the bill and mailing it to AES) in August when I moved to my new addressI made every payment timely between the time of my address change and this disputeI had to call twice to get the IBR application sent to me once I realized the previous IBR period had endedI called once in December and once in January when I still hadn't received anythingI eventually got both applications within days of one another, despite their being requested weeks apartThat was terrible customer serviceIt was also terrible customer service to not make any effort to call me, at the telephone number AES has on file and which has not changed in the past eight years, when they realized they received a piece of returned mailI would have remedied the problem immediately, but I had no way of knowing that AES had not received my change of address form because I was receiving the AES bills always addressed to the correct addressI was as qualified for the IBR payment on January 1, as I am as of February 1, It would be a simple matter to simply back date my eligibility to the month of January, but apparently AES believes itself infallible and no longer believes in customer serviceI have, in fact, already made the January payment according to the IBR amount, as well as the February payment, so a simple backdating would bring my account current If you cannot simply backdate my eligibility by one month, I will move forward with my report to the proper federal regulatory agencies and student loan action committees Regards, [redacted] ***
