Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Received bad information about your loan

Consumer Complaint: We have included a detailed explanation of the history of our student loans below, and where the institution holding that loan, PHEAA and its servicer, AES, have violated student loan and financial regulations. In addition, XXXX, the original loan holder, has not passed on to AES key documentation. For ease of understanding, we have included a summary below : 1. When we received the Master Promissory note for consolidating our previously consolidated loan with AES/PHEAA, we were told by representatives of AES/PHEAA that only one spouse was needed to sign the Master Promissory note. We have since learned that both spouses should have signed the note because the loan was jointly held by both spouses. 2. Our current loan servicer ( AES on behalf of PHEAA ) no longer has the Master Promissory note from our previous loan servicer XXXX XXXX XXXX that should have been part of the documentation when we consolidated our loan. XXXX is no longer in business and can not supply that document. 3. As a consequence of these mistakes by AES/PHEAA, we may not be able to separate our loans into two loans, one for each spouse, as allowed for in the recently signed Joint Consolidation Loan Separation Act. Without separation, we will not be able to take advantage of the Department of Education programs for loan forgiveness. 4. As a remedy, we are asking AES/PHEAA to allow us to resign the Master Promissory note with both spouses signing. We also ask them to produce the original loan consolidation Master Promissory Note that they should have received from XXXX when taking on the loan, or else be required to forgive the loan for lack of proper documentation. Here is a more complete history for context : My wife and I consolidated our student loans with a private company called XXXX under the now defunct Spousal Consolidation program in XXXX. This consolidation took both the several student loans taken out by XXXX XXXX and the several taken by XXXX XXXX into XXXX joint spousal consolidation loan, with join responsibility. However, the Master Promissory Note from XXXX is missing and they can not produce it. In XXXX, we re-consolidated the now one loan to AES/PHEAA in XXXX to get a lower interest rate. We were told the only option for reducing our monthly payments was to reconsolidate into another loan ; we were told we could not qualify for any other repayment program, including any of the federal XXXX payment programs ; when creating the new MPN for this reconsolidation, XXXX illegally dropped my spouse 's name - XXXX XXXX XXXX from the MPN and therefore the loan was not issued with her documented consent. At no time were we informed that this reconsolidated would result in not holding a JSCL. We have since learned that this guidance was in violation of the regulations guiding the transfer of spousal consolidation loans, and that both spouses should have been required to sign the Master Promissory note. Recently the Federal government has signed the Joint Consolidation Loan Separation Act, signed XX/XX/XXXX, which would allow us to separate the loan back into XXXX loansone for each spouse. We need resolution as soon as possible to understand how to separate or reconsolidate our loans to qualify under the current waivers for XXXX and XXXX. As a consequence, we would, separately, be able to take advantage of loan forgiveness programs created by the Department of Education. However, in consulting with the Department of Education, we have been told that unless the Master Promissory note contains both spousal signatures, we will not be able to take advantage of loan separation. In addition, we have been told that even with this Master Promissory note, we may have difficulties without the original promissory note from XXXX showing which loans were part of the original consolidation.T We have contacted AES/PHEAA and they have not been able to produce the original promissory note from XXXX. In addition, they have not offered to allow us to resign the Master Promissory note with them so that both spouses are included.

Subissue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Consumer Complaint: According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: I have attempted to reach AES regarding loan name change. I feel like I'm being forced to submit documents of an updated name changes as if I had legally changed my name in the past. AES continues to request for me to provide my social security, Driver Licenses or etc. I am refusing to do so because that it's an admission that at some point I did go by that name XXXX or XXXX . I have not. I feel as though my rights continue to be violated because they accepted a predatory loan from XXXX XXXX. AES has yet to provide me any documentation where I provided XXXX XXXX with a legal name change. The only documentation I have been given is a promissory note that indicates XXXX . XXXX or XXXX was never my legal name from XXXX XXXX XXXX . As I've stated before it is the legal duty for the lender to ensure that proper documentation is given regarding the correct name. I believed I have been misinformed to obtain pricier repayment terms and misleading me about federal loan forgiveness programs. However, I can not participate in loan forgiveness program because my name does not match. Nor, can I create a online account because my name does not match. The lenders had a legal and ethical obligation to disclose all information about a loan to me and informed me that having a unauthorize last name on my account will prevent me from being able to participate in some forgiveness program and inability to access my account. I find that the lender and AES was reluctant to provide me with a full loan disclosure, consider that I sign with my legal name only birth name. AES then used unscrupulous methods against me with hard credit check and false reporting me to credit bureaus, although I was making on time payments and was never late. Their actions were abusive. If it was not for a worker ( Supervisor XXXX ) stating it was not the US Postal Services that provided AES with the fake address, but XXXX ( skip traces credit system ) Never heard of this credit company until XXXX. This information was revealed on XXXX XXXX disclosing the measure they used against me after numerous calls, I would have believed that I was a victim of identity thief. I even took off work and was ready to make a police report until this action was revealed. What was even more alarming was AES alter my account without my knowledge before they even received returned mailed and did not inform me, they were altering my account without my permission or knowledge. AES did the updating independently because they wanted to do so. After, numerous cascading letters and emails only to update my address back to what it was. No American should experience such aggressive, abusive, tactics and not understand the full score why such retaliatory actions being taking place against them. Now I have to fight to restore my credit after the hard credit reporting.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Consumer Complaint: I was duped into getting a spousal consolidation loan. I was told that my wife and I could combine our federal student loans into one and save some money. I was NOT informed on how that would strip away all the benefits of the federal loans they used to be. I have discussed many issues with this loan with the 3 entities that supposedly own this loan ; PHEAA, AES, and now XXXX. I was denied many times the same forgiveness program that others have gotten to enjoy which is the teacher forgiveness program and government employee forgiveness program. When dealing with PHEAA and especially AES their customer service reps are RUDE and hateful. I recently went on my AES website because I was concerned that after 20 years of paying on this loan, the balance has barely dropped!! The amount I have paid in total on this loan is almost {$120000.00}!! ( see screenshot of my account ) The original amount of the loan was {$28000.00} if I remember correctly. It is now {$32000.00} even though I have been paying {$350.00} /mo for the last 9 years. I am sick and tired of this. I have paid MORE THAN ENOUGH on this loan and it needs to end!!

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Consumer Complaint: PHEAA changed the interest rate on 2 loans back in XXXX of 2023 to the following : XXXX at 8 % and XXXX at 7.99 %. Then only a few months later effective XXXX of 2023, the following interest rate modification was made : XXXX at 8.5 % Keep in mind also that PHEAA failed to alert me of the change until after it went into effect, which is extremely concerning. This will be another complaint filed with several different agencies who oversee PHEAA 's operating capabilities. PHEAA/AES are doing this because I keep submitting complaints against their XXXX and they are trying to essentially get back at me for doing so. They will respond to this complaint and claim that it has something to do with periodic variable interest rate changes, but I find it convenient that because the amount of complaints have increased over 2023 that there have been 2 interest rate changes that favors PHEAA and in such a short time span. PHEAA discriminates against borrowers in all capacities. If a borrower makes a complaint, PHEAA uses that as a means to find and establish retribution.
