 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
AES did NOT provide a valid reason
for refusing to release me as cosigner on my daughter’s loan and for avoiding
to address my complaint.  The reason they
denied our release request was “On-time payments are defined as being received
no earlier than five days before the due date and no later than 5 days after
the due date”, however, the Credit agreement does NOT reference the definition
of on-time payments and does not stipulate that payments must be received no
earlier than five days before the due date and no later than 5 days after the
due date.  Unless AES can show me exactly
were my signed contract states the definition of on-time payments, I must again
reiterate my complaint about the unethical lending practices that AES adheres
to.
Regards,
[redacted]

October 2, 2014Dear [redacted]:This letter is being sent to you regarding an inquiry AES received from the Revdex.com (Revdex.com), regarding the status of your educational loan account, serviced by our office. We trust the following information will be of assistance.
AES...

currently services a privately-insured [redacted]) Loan disbursed March 13, 2003, on behalf of the owner, [redacted]). AES also services the subsidized (SUBCNS) and unsubsidized (UNCNS) portions of your Federal Consolidation Loan, disbursed January 28, 2005, for [redacted] Bank. As the contracted third-party service provider, AES administers the loan in accordance with the terms of the signed Credit Agreement, and, in the case of your Consolidation, the original promissory note and federal regulations. AES is required to perform billing, credit reporting, and other servicing-related activities.In your inquiry, you expressed concern regarding your billing statements and why it may reflect a different amount from month-to month. In order to understand our billing statements, it is important to understand how your payments are applied and about how sending in extra monies can create a “paid-ahead” status on your account.
When payments are received, the unpaid accrued interest and any outstanding late fees (if applicable) must be satisfied before the principal balance can be reduced. Payments cannot be used to satisfy future interest that has not yet accrued on your account at the time your payment is received. However, once any outstanding interest is satisfied, any remaining amount higher than the remaining amount due on an account will satisfy future installment amount(s).
If you pay an amount greater than your outstanding installment amount(s), the excess payment(s) will be used to advance your due date and place your account in a paid-ahead status; however, interest will continue to accrue per the terms of your loan(s). Depending on the amount received, the next installment bill will reflect that you have either partially or fully paid the amount due for that month. A paid-ahead status does not affect the manner in which payments are applied. Payments are still applied as described above.
Example 1: Your monthly installment amount of $50.00 is billed but you submit a payment of $100.00. The payment will be applied as described above. This will result in a $0.00 "Total Amount Due" for the following month and a paid-ahead status on your loan(s). Please note that if you do not make a payment for the next month, you will still be current on your loan(s); however, your next payment will be used to satisfy any interest that accrued during the month you did not make a payment.
Example 2: Your monthly installment amount of $50.00 is billed but you submit a payment of $75.00. The payment will be applied as described above. This may result in a reduced "Total Amount Due" amount of $25.00 due for the following month and a partially paid-ahead status on your loan(s). Even if your loan is in a paid ahead or partially paid-ahead status, it may be to your advantage to make your normal monthly installment amount each month. This will ensure that any interest that has accrued since the last payment is satisfied. This will also reduce your principal balance more quickly. You may opt-out of the paid ahead or partially paid-ahead status at any time by submitting a written request to the address provided on our letterhead.
We also understand from your inquiry that you are dissatisfied with the service you have received from AES’s telephone representatives. AES regrets that this is the case, and trusts your future interactions with our agency will be met with the high degree of professionalism we expect from our representatives.
You may be assured that all of our loan counselors are trained to provide accurate, informative, and courteous service to customers. Many customer Service calls are monitored to ensure that optimum service is provided. Loan counselors receive remediation in instances in which it has been determined that they did not handle a call appropriately or otherwise meet our standards for excellence. However, if you are ever dissatisfied with the quality of service you receive from an AES loan counselor, you may always ask for the employee’s identification number and to speak directly with a supervisor to address the situation.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Service Department at ###-###-####. Loan counselors are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., ET.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
The letter from [redacted], Assistant Vice President of Graduate and Professional Services at American Education Services (AES), inaccurately stated that I graduated from [redacted] University on February 7, 2004.  I actually graduated from [redacted] University on that date.  This inaccuracy leads me to believe that there may be other inacuracies pertaining my account.  Since then, I have attended two universities, none of which led to my graduation.  One of them was [redacted] University from 2006 to 2007 and [redacted] Law School from 2011 to 2013, from which I should have received a six-month grace period.
"When you graduate, drop below half time, or withdraw from your academic program, you will receive a six-month grace period for your Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans.  Your grace period begins the day you stop attending school on at least a half-time basis.  Once your grace period ends, you must begin replaying your loan(s)."
When I dropped out of my studies at [redacted] Law School at below half time, all of my loans should have been granted a six-month grace period.  What [redacted]. [redacted] seems to be stating is that I can only get a six-month grace period from AES and no more, regardless of whether I decide to start a new course of studies at another university later on.  I do not believe that this polciy is accurate.  Furthermore, she is detailing events that took place ten years ago, instead of discussing the most recent loan history.
In December 2013, for instance, AES notified me about  a deferment that was meant to have started on the same month, and that would conclude a month later, on January 2014, not even a full month later after receipt of said notice.  Now, acording to my calculations, [redacted] Law School should have notified AES about my withdrawal back in August 2013, which indicates that AES was supposed to grant me a grace period from August 2013 to January 2014, which is probably why AES sent me the deferment notice in December 2013, five months too late and two months too early from the end of the six-month grace period.  However, if [redacted]. [redacted] can confirm that AES was notified that my withdrawal from [redacted] Law School occurred earlier, then starting payments on December 2013 would make sense.  When was AES notified by [redacted] Law School of my withdrawal?
Regards,
[redacted]

Dear [redacted]:This letter is being sent to you regarding an inquiry AES received from the Revdex.com (Revdex.com), Case no. [redacted], regarding the status of [redacted]’s educational loan account, serviced by our office. Our records reflect that you are listed as...

the cosigner for this account. We trust the following information will be of assistance.AES currently services a privately-insured Undergrad Alternative Loan Program (UALP) Loan on behalf of the owner, [redacted]. As the contracted third-party service provider, AES administers the loan in accordance with the terms of the signed Credit Agreement. AES is required to perform billing, credit reporting, and other servicing-related activities.
The chart below details the loan.
Disbursement Date    Loan Program    Original Principal Balance    Current Principal BalanceSeptember 4, 2009     UALP                  $14,066.00                            $13,676.04
In your inquiry, you expressed concerns regarding late fees that were recently assessed to the account. Our records reflect that AES sent a response letter indicating that payments effective for June 17, 2014 and July 11, 2014 were returned by your financial institution. The letter stated that these transactions had been returned and advised you to contact your financial institution regarding the stop payments that were placed on them. As a result of these missed payments, AES assessed a $5.00 late fee to the account on July 12, 2014. Previously, a $5.00 late fee had also been assessed on April 11, 2014 in relation to a separate missed payment.
Please 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 the transaction. AES is unable to add digits to an account or routing number as this process is initiated entirely by the customer. If the combination of numbers is incorrect, then the payment would be rejected by that customer’s financial institution.Upon reviewing this situation, AES has determined that the aforementioned late fee was assessed correctly. Although we wish to assist you in any way possible, we must regretfully inform you that our office is unable to waive the referenced late fee. Prior to remitting future transactions, please insure that the correct account number/routing number combination is being utilized for the account you wish to pay and that, as a cosigner for more than one borrower, you are making the payment from your own online account.
If you prefer making electronic payments on the account, you might consider utilizing Direct Debit, our electronic payment program which, once your correct bank information is on file, would eliminate any possible keying errors when making payments online. In addition to ensuring your payments are applied to the specific account you intend on the due date each month, the owner of the loan also offers a 0.25% interest rate reduction for the utilization of this free service.
To qualify, a borrower or cosigner must complete the Direct Debit application and return it to our office with the account from which you wish to have the funds withdrawn. For your convenience, we are enclosing a Direct Debit application. Should you wish to apply for this service, please have the borrower or cosigner complete and return the enclosed form to the address or fax number listed on the followingpage.
American Education Services - Direct Debit P.O. Box 2057 Harrisburg PA 17105-2057 Fax: 717–720-3916
We also understand from your inquiry that you are dissatisfied with the service you have received from AES. You may be assured that all of our loan counselors are trained to provide accurate, informative, and courteous service to customers. Many customer service calls are monitored to ensure that optimum service is provided. Loan counselors receive remediation in instances in which it has been determined that they did not handle a call appropriately or otherwise meet our standards for excellence.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
They did not send the notice out on the 23rd of April. The letter they sent was dated for April 23rd but wasn't postmarked to be mailed out until May 3rd, the day I sent the complaint in to the Revdex.com. They should have sent out the form in the begging of April not the end of April and if it wasn't for me calling them they wouldn't have sent it out at all. They did not acknowledge the fact that I was told by them twice that they were faxing the form directly to my employer but never completed the task. Then, the garnished amounts that were listed in their response were incorrect. An amount of 25$ on April 6, 87$ on April 17th and also on May 1st another $87 was garnished. As I mentioned before I am a widowed single mother of a two year old and every single dollar from my paycheck is needed. This has brought a great finacial burden on my Daughter and I. I have my pay stubs for proof if needed and my employer will gladly prove that the notice was not sent out on the date they said in their response. I will not except waiting 30 days for money that should not have been taken and wouldn't have been taken if they did not neglect the entire issue. I would like to have my money reimbursement immediately. I am struggling as it is and I have felt extremely insulted by them for not taken this complaint and issue seriously.

August 10, 2015Dear [redacted]:
Kindly accept this letter as a formal response to the inquiry AES received through the Revdex.com (Revdex.com) concerning the status of your educational loan account. We trust the following information will be of assistance.
We understand from your recent inquiry that you disagree with AES’ previous response, specifically, the information pertaining to how its office reports information to the nationwide consumer reporting agency and the length of time it may take for the updated information to reflect on your credit report. Additionally, you requested that AES pull a copy of your credit report because [redacted] is reflecting an inaccurate balance and missing payment information from June 2015 and July 2015.AES’ Credit Department confirmed that identical information for an account is submitted to all four nationwide consumer reporting agencies at the same time on a monthly basis. It is important to understand that AES does not have control as to how the information is updated and reflected on your credit report by individual nationwide consumer reporting agencies. Furthermore, AES has no control as to how long it may take for each individual nationwide consumer reporting agency to update the information on your credit report.
In your inquiry, you ask that AES obtain a copy of your credit report for review, verify the information provided, and forward the report to your attention. Please be assured that AES pulled your [redacted] credit report and confirmed that the last reporting occurred for July 2015. AES also confirmed that the account information, such as principal balance and payment information for June 2015 and July 2015, is accurately reflecting on the credit report. Due to AES policy and the sensitive information provided on your credit report, our office is unable to forward a copy of this report to your attention. However, a request has been forwarded to the Legal Department for a determination to be made if the information may be sent to your attention. If AES receives authorization, the information will be sent to your attention under separate cover. In the meantime, we recommend that you reach out to [redacted] and obtain a copy of the most recent information submitted to its office, and if the information is not accurate, please forward a copy to AES for review.
Additionally, as a result of your recent conversation with an AES representative today, August 10, 2015, a request has been forwarded to inquire if a telephone callback may be placed to you with a representative from AES’ Credit Team and the advocate you spoke with originally regarding your concerns. As this is not a normal request, we are unable to provide you with a time frame as when this request may be completed.Separately, we understand from your inquiry that you would like to cease receiving written letter responses to your inquiries and would rather receive telephone calls. Because your inquiries are being submitted through the Revdex.com, AES is required to provide a letter response. If you wish to cease receiving letter responses, please contact AES via telephone using the contact information provide at the top of this letter. Alternatively, you may submit written or electronic correspondence to AES and request that a supervisor contact you regarding your account.

Dear **. [redacted]:
Kindly accept this letter as a formal response to the inquiry AES received through the Revdex.com (Revdex.com) concerning the status of [redacted]. [redacted]’s educational loan account. You are listed as the co-maker on the loan. We...

trust that the following information will be of assistance.
AES previously serviced both subsidy portions of your Federal Spousal Consolidation Loan disbursed on December 12, 2005 on behalf of the owner, [redacted] - 1. As the former contracted, third-party service provider, AES administered the loan in accordance with the terms of the signed promissory note and federal regulations. AES was required to perform billing, credit reporting, and other servicing related activities.
It is important to know that both the husband and wife are equally responsible for the repayment of a Spousal Consolidation Loan. One of the parties is listed as the "main" borrower and the other is listed as the co-maker. Requests for deferments or forbearances may only be approved if both the borrower and co-maker qualify. The requests may be for the same or different types of deferments or forbearances.
As you may recall, AES received two Unemployment Deferment requests from [redacted]. [redacted] on July 5, 2012 and August 22, 2012. Since AES did not receive any Unemployment Deferment requests from you, both requests were denied and denial letters were mailed explaining the situation. AES records confirmed that the account reflected on a reduced repayment plan. In addition, you and [redacted]. [redacted] had maximized all the available time of the Temporary Hardship Forbearance.
Therefore, as a result of non-payments/late payments the loan previously defaulted from AES’ servicing system and transferred to our guarantee division effective October 18, 2013. You may contact its office directly at ###-###-####.
If you have any additional questions, you may call our Customer Service Department at ###-###-####. Our loan counselors are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. through 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

Dear **. [redacted]:Kindly accept this letter as a formal response to the inquiry AES received through the Revdex.com concerning the status of your privately-insured educational loan account. We trust that the following information will be of...

assistance.AES services one Academic Answer Direct to Consumer (AADTC) Loan on behalf of the loan’s owner, [redacted]. This loan is further detailed in the chart below.Disbursement Date    Loan Program    Original Principal Balance    Current Principal BalanceOctober 24, 2008          AADTC                   $22,000.00                             $28,819.78*
*The current principal balance is higher than the original principal balance because of interest capitalization.
We understand from your inquiry that you are concerned that your loan was “charged off’ on February 25, 2014 due to insufficient payments, even though you had submitted a forbearance application to AES several days prior. Our records confirm that we received an Economic Hardship Forbearance application from you on February 21, 2014; however, our office was unable to process the application before the loan was charged off AES’ servicing system on February 25, 2014,In view of the circumstances, our office contacted [redacted] to see if it would allow for the charge-off to be reversed and for the forbearance to be applied. Recently, [redacted] authorized the charge-off to be reversed and for the forbearance to be applied. Accordingly, the loan has been returned to AES, and an Economic Hardship Forbearance has been applied to your account through March 31, 2014. We regret any inconvenience or confusion that this situation may have caused.In your inquiry, you also allege that you made numerous telephone calls to AES in an attempt to prevent the loan from defaulting and that you were provided with incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading information. Contrary to your allegations, however, our records indicate that AES did not receive any telephone calls in reference to your account between August 22, 2013 and March 3, 2014. Although we were unable to substantiate your claims, you may be assured that all of our loan counselors are trained to provide accurate, informative, and courteous service to customers.

Dear **. [redacted]:This letter is in response to a second inquiry that AES received from the Revdex.com (Revdex.com) regarding the status of your educational loan account. AES appreciates your service to our country and trusts that the following information will help clarify our position in this matter.As you know, AES services both subsidy portions of your Federal Consolidation Loan disbursed January 5, 2006 on behalf of the owner, Goal Financial. As the contracted, third-party service provider, AES administers the loan in accordance with the terms of the signed promissory note and federal regulations. As the service provider, AES is required to perform billing, credit reporting, and additional serving-related activities.As stated in our previous letter, AES is required to submit unfavorable information to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies when the account reached a designated level of delinquency. As a result of insufficient/late payments, the Consolidation Loan was accurately reported delinquent 60 days for May 2013 and October 2013, 90 days for November 2013, 120 days for December 2013, and 150 days for January 2014.AES has no record of your being advised to provide documentation from your banking institution in regards to an error in order for AES to remove the unfavorable information that was reported on your loan. However, we regret any miscommunication that may have occurred. When you contacted our office on March 10, 2014, our records show that you were advised that the unfavorable information had been accurately reported. In addition, you contacted AES on March 13, 2014 and stated that you were neither aware nor notified that the account was past due. At that time, you were advised that the unfavorable information would not be removed. On March 27, 2014, AES received your correspondence disputing the unfavorable credit reporting. After completing a review, AES determined that the unfavorable information had been submitted accurately to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies and the no servicing error had occurred.Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2(a), companies which furnish data (such as AES) to credit reporting agencies are prohibited from knowingly reporting inaccurate information. Since the unfavorable information was submitted accurately to the nationwide consumer reporting agencies, AES cannot lawfully remove the reporting without authorization from the owner. To assist you we elevated your request to Goal Financial. However, AES was not given authorization to change the accurately reported information.Presently, the Consolidation Loan reflects an advanced-payment status. If no other payments are received in the meantime, the next partial installment of $2.30 will be due by June 26, 2014.
We regret that we are unable to resolve this matter to your complete satisfaction at this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Customer Service Department at [redacted]. Loan counselors are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., ET.
Sincerely,
