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

Student loans serviced by AES. Was told by - that loan could be deferred while in school, indefinitely : The loans were disbursed in between -/-/- and -/-/-, place into deferment while in school, and knocked out of school deferment while still enrolled in school in -/-/-. Loans Placed into forbearance for one year, as I was still in school and unemployed. Credit report thus far is perfect with these loans. Loans knocked out of forbearance deferment early, ( still unemployed, in school part-time ) and I was told to place loans into Unemployment deferral for up to a year. I faxed, the first time, an application, that they processed - three months later, I am knocked out of deferment, again. I receive a letter stating my loans are late, so I call, and fax another form. And another form, And yet another form. The fax number printed on AES letterhead, which was successful for the first unemployment deferral, failed. I was told to use the second fax number listed on AES letterhead. AES, stated AES never received my faxes. Multiple faxes. One would think that, the borrower, whom AES has noted for years, would keep complying, as I did.


there was nothing they could do except ask for payment, and wait until they received my faxes. On my end, other than submit payment, which financial was n't possible, AES said there was nothing I could do, other than submit, and re-submit faxes. Now, AES says, for some reason, there is - final loan, which can not be saved from default. So ... and now, I am ineligible for federal loans, and will thus be unable to attend the last few semesters of the - program, and ... thus, will begin the cascading fall into further private loan default, as another private loan company moves me out of in-school deferment because I can not attend school without a federal student loan, ... and you get the picture. My federal loans, will hopefully be placed into an IBR program. So far, AES loans are the only loans that moved ( less than 120 late ), " into collections '' ( default ) status ..., All my private loans - originated and disbursed from the same entity - -. AES = default ... whereas other loan holder = current. Kinda strange how AES defaults loans, and the other does not ... In any case, I want to repay my loans, but, AES says it did n't receive my faxes, and could n't help me save my loans through other deferment possibilities.
