ACS is conducting substandard, if not illegal, loan practices. Their website lacks key information about my private student loans, such as the original loan amount. They do not offer a service to allow borrowers to increase their monthly payment amounts. I took out my loans from XXXX XXXX, which worked fine for me through law school. I believe ACS is intentionally obscuring their contact information on their website, does not allow borrowers to speak with a representative in the U.S. without at least a 30 minute wait period ( first requiring the borrower to go through a confusing automated recording that does not have an option to speak to a live person, then sending you through to someone XXXX ), and is preventing borrowers from actively controlling their student loan debt. When I finally spoke to a representative, she told me they were not legally required to provide payment plan information. I was told that if I wanted to increase my student loan payments, to send an email to an anonymous address. I asked if there was a specific person I could speak to about handling my loan repayment, she said " no. '' My email would go to " another department '' that she did not have contact with. I do not understand how this is an acceptable practice. Given the opacity, I have very little idea of what they 're actually doing with my loans. I have researched complaints on ACS and given the volume of posts on various websites by students of all backgrounds, I can not imagine how the practices at ACS are legal.
