I had been accepted into XXXX XXXX University in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was an out-of-state student who lived in a small town in XXXX. I was informed I would get a {$5000.00} a semester scholarship XX/XX/XXXX and about {$1000.00} in a grant but I would have to come up with the rest of the money, myself, offering student loans both federal and private. I was not approved for much for federal loans but the private loans were pushed and accepted at $ XXXX per semester and even $ XXXX- {$40000.00} for a couple of semesters with a co-signer. It started with XXXX XXXX then it went to XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I ca n't even remember the other. Now, I 've gone through a " plan '' that was supposed to be 10 consecutive, on-time payments and have given them hundreds of dollars through which this " plan '' was purchased by XXXX. I 've been getting harassed by American Education Services since XX/XX/XXXX along with my mom and dad and even an aunt, my sister, and my best friend. That has continued to include National Collegiate Trust. Both of my parents have filed and won bankruptcy, separately, and while we know federal loans ( though we 've paid tens of thousands in the past 7 years ) are n't included in bankruptcy, the point is that we are all under a hardship. I called AES, today, to see what was going on and I was told that they could n't accept any type of payment other than over the phone and it had to be by checking or savings account, only, and credit cards and prepaid cards would not be accepted. My loan amount has n't budged although I filled out paperwork packets after paperwork packets leaving us all on edge and heavily confused with what to do or which way is correct. I have statements, emails, notes, and letters that I can provide but will need to have some time to gather ones from my parents. My husband and I are expecting our XXXX baby in just a few short months. I 'll be out on maternity leave and will not be paid for the leave.
