American Educational Services has breached the loan agreement ( " Agreement '' ) underlying my account. Since graduation in XXXX, this loan has switched servicers multiple times. It was initially handled by the XXXX XXXX. 
Pursuant to the Agreement, a borrower benefit of a reduction in interest rate, after XXXX on-time payments should be in place. 
In or about XXXX XXXX, AES began servicing this loan, inheriting the account from a prior servicer. In or about XXXX XXXX, I received notification of this change, and a form to initiate automatic payments from my checking account to AES. This seemed strange to me because the loan had always and has always been paid via automatic payments, and AES 's succession as servicer should not have altered my prior ACH agreement and long-time record of on-time payments. Nonetheless, I filled out the AES form and conveyed it to AES immediately upon receipt. 
Despite this conveyance, AES wrongfully stated that my XXXX XXXX payment was not made in a timely fashion. As a result, I was deemed permanently ineligible for my borrower benefit of a reduced interest rate. 
As mentioned, every payment ever made on this account has been made pursuant to automated ACH payment. If AES deemed any payment " late, '' such lateness was due solely to AES 's own negligence, breaches, or other wrongful acts. I did not learn about AES 's wrongful breach until XXXX XXXX, at which point I complained to AES and informed it of the facts of the situation. AES ignored the facts, and sent me a conclusory response denying reinstatement of the benefit without any explanation whatsoever ( response is attached ).
