I have a Private loan serviced by AES. The lender is XXXX. I attended the University XXXX XXXX in NC and received a XXXX. I could n't obtain employment so I went back to school and attended XXXX XXXX XXXX College and obtained an XXXX. During my time in school I obtained several government student loans and I honestly do not remember obtaining a private student loan at all. I have asked for a copy of my application to confirm whether this is my loan and AES has refused. I decided I would go ahead and pay the loan to protect my credit. I have been paying on this loan and have never been late but the balance keeps increasing. AES has been applying all of my money to interest & not principal. The alleged original loan amount was XXXX and now they have me owing over XXXX. Over the years they have changed the interest rate & payment amount several times without notifying me. Just recently that interest has gone up again, therefore my payment has also gone up. I really value my credit rating that is why I continue to pay on this loan, but I really need someone to help me with getting confirmation from AES and XXXX to confirm that I actually signed for this loan and to review my loan documents to ensure that the terms of the loan are legal. I am pleading for the government to do a thorough investigation of AES and XXXX in reference to their loan practices. I feel they are taking advantage of honest hard working students seeking to advance their education in order to make a better life for themselves. It is very shameful and disgusting how AES & other lenders are allowed to commit these atrocities at the expense of students & their families. Thank you for allowing me to voice my concerns regarding this important issue. Predatory student loan lenders are proving to be very detrimental to a promising future. I hope that I and many other struggling borrowers can find relief. Thank you.
