AES/PHEAA Student Loan Complaint

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer received bad information about my loan

AES/PHEAA Student loan department,

Non-federal student loan Dealing with my lender or servicer Received bad information about my loan Maryland

I had a student loan with - that was sold to AES. Which is when my problems started. I was paying them consistently for a few years then around fall of 2015 I changed something with my bank and forget to set up the payments again. I started getting notifications in the mail and called to request a Forbearance on - -, 2015. The lady on the phone read me a bunch of information and said that I must agree to them then said I was approved for the forbearance. Then in early - I started receiving more phone calls from AES. Today, - - I called AES to see why they are still harassing me. I spoke to - in the Graduate and Professional Services within AES. - said that my forbearance request was never approved or denied and that the person on the phone told me they would be sending me some forms to fill out and sign and that once it was sent out I would have 30 days to return it and then they would tell me if I was approved. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS LETTER TO BE SIGNED AND FILLED OUT AND I


on my credit report. He would not tell me when they did this. So they basically did n't give me time to even return the forms in 30 days ( the forms that they never told me about in the first place ) before they reported this to the credit bureaus. I did what I was supposed to do and it seems like unless I paid in full they had every intention to ruin my credit. By ruining my credit this prevents me from getting a student loan for my next semester of law school. I also have to maintain good credit to keep my job. This negative report can ruin my life. I 've been paying for years and after 30 days of being late they just put this on my credit and I called before 30 days were up. Please help me.
