class="Apple-tab-span">
I have filed numerous complaints through your company and have not received any resolution to an all but simple matter of the processing of my US student loan repayment applicationI am wondering if it is not time to take my case to the media and social activist groups! As we speak, I have been trying to change my loan repayment options because I lost my jobI currently have two servicersThe application is a standard US Dept of Education applicationI filled out the application and emailed it on the SAME email to both servicers on 08AugOne servicer, (***), approved my application on 11Augwithout failHowever, AES, has been giving me the run around for months! They keep saying the application is incompleteThe application is NOT incomplete! I RESENT my application with a complete narrative as well as the loan approval letter from *** as proof that AES has it all wrongIf *** can approve a STANDARD application, so should AESThis is starting to resemble the mortgage mess! If the STANDARD application was processed by one servicer with no problem, then how is it the SAME standard application is considered incomplete by another servicer???? Please tell me if this makes sense?! In the meantime, I am getting notices of default and reporting to collection agencies! In the 10yrs I have had student loans, I have NEVER been late or defaulted! Do you realize what position this puts me in?? I am sick and tired of spending or more hours over the phone with incompetent representatives which is why I prefer to handle my issue in writing

I am rejecting this response because: AES's records are incorrectThe IBR renewal form was faxed prior to the January due dateNumerous calls were made explaining that we did not receive the IBR renewal forms and had to call twice before they were sentIt is not the fault of this borrower if AES employees do not properly document the calls and correspondence they receiveIn light of their unwillingness to come to a reasonable agreement, I will be filing complaints with the federal regulatory agency

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I have yet to receive any communication from this officePERIOD!!! POINT BLANK!!! Someone is lying at AES through their teeth!!! Is there a reason why AES has failed to contact me through more conventional means other than postal mail such as, oh, I don't know, the PHONE or EMAIL or FAX????? I provided ALL of that in my ORIGINAL complaintDid someone just not read???? This clearly supports part of my original complaint that AES lacks the very essence of CUSTOMER SERVICE and they have failed to communicate appropriately with me for months on endAnd this only proves the very points I have made in my complaint - they have ignored me!!!!
