I am a medical student with both private and federal loan debt. The private student loan companies, especially AES, have given me false information in order to receive more money. I have also been told my loans were in repayment when they actually were not which caused two loans to default. I have paid more than I owe monthly multiple times and yet they tell me I am past due. Their online platforms are disorganized, confusing, and never up to date. No matter how hard I try to stay on top of everything, they make it very difficult and lie to get more money from myself and my cosigners. They will not work with me at all on decreasing payments or deferring anything until I finish school. I cannot work and finish medical school at the same time. I do not know what to do at this point and there are so many people have that have filed lawsuits against these specific private loan companies for the same reasons. What are my options? Thank you for your time and assistance.
