I 'm having problems making payments on my student loan serviced by AES ( contracted through XXXX ). I am told the ONLY way I can make payments on my loan is to give them my bank account information. I am not okay with this at all. I have other loans being serviced by other companies that have no problem taking payments over the phone with my debit card. So since AES refuses card payments, the only way I can pay my monthly is to let it go past due and have a XXXX party collection agency take the card. This would be fine if not for the past due/late fees that are absolutely ravaging my credit. Their customer service is terrible and runs me around in circles every time I contact them about this beyond the point of frustration. This set up is ultimately going to lead me to paying extra late fees every single month and more than likely defaulting on this loan for absolutely NO GOOD REASON.
