Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan can't temporarily postpone payments

AES/PHEAA Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Can't repay my loan Can't temporarily postpone payments Connecticut

- University, American Education Services. Graduating in the great recession was difficult, dealing with AES is impossible. I just started - businesses and I wanted to postpone payments to get back on my feet. I 'd done this once before to catch up. In -, I 'd filled out the paperwork suggested by AES, faxed it in ( which is difficult, no one has a fax these days ). They said " that 's it you 're all set '' 3 months later I 'm getting collection calls at all hours of the day and night while my grandma was on - none the less. Thanks! Finally I just paid the money so they 'd stop calling. The same thing keeps happening. I go through the trouble of filling out all this paperwork, sending my tax return and wasting time with customer service. Each AES representative has something different to say. This has happened several times. They assure me everything is all set, or that they 're sending forms via email and regular mail. Now I 'm not even getting forms. I 've had nearly everything I own robbed from me in -. That was an awful feeling, the feeling


that this is - of the worst run businesses in the world. Oh and want to know about my other student loans, NO PROBLEM. - of them is paid off in full. AES on the other hand is raping my financial stability. I studied - and that was a walk in the park compared to dealing with AES. If you call their customer service, an automated voice takes 10 minutes to check if you were in the armed forces. I ca n't believe I owe this company money and I will certainly be looking for any alternative. A high interest credit card would be a better option in my opinion. I 'm absolutely broken by this company, words really ca n't describe how I feel. It 's not like this has happened once or twice. It 's happened so many times that robbing a bank seems like a sensible option to get rid of this loan. I bet if I had the money in my hand to pay off in full, it would be a huge hassle. I hope that something can be done about this. It 's completely unfair.
