Please note that AES functions in diversified roles as the lender, guarantor, and servicer of student loans. In accordance with the signed application/promissory note agreement, borrowers are responsible for maintaining a current status on their educational loan accounts. Separate tradelines were established on your credit record to represent the servicing history of the loans with our office.
We generally submit unfavorable information to the credit reporting agencies when an account reflects a1 least 60 days of delinquency. Our records verify that as a result of insufficient payment, loans 1 through 6 were at least ou days delinquent from October 2004 until their default in June 2005. As required, we submitted this unfavorable information to the credit reporting agencies.

Furthermore, because loans 1 through 6 defaulted, each was reported with a claim-paid status. The servicing tradelines then ceased reporting and our guaranty division established its own tradelines to represent the loans during the default period. After successfully completing a rehabilitation program with our guaranty division, the loans transferred back to our servicing division on February 6, 2007 as loans 8 through 13.
It is important to note that separate tradelines were reported by our servicing and guaranty divisions to represent the progression of the loan history. Following the rehabilitation of loans 1 through 8, our guaranty division submitted a request to the credit agencies at that time to have its defaulted tradelines removed from your credit report. Because loans 8 through 13 were consolidated immediately following rehabilitation, these tradelines may not have had time to report on your credit record. Therefore, only the previous servicing tradelines, including the delinquency and the claim paid status, for loans 1 through 6 should still reflect on your credit report.
The unfavorable information was reported accurately in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Furthermore, Section 605 of the FCRA stipulates that a creditor may report on a consumer's account no more than seven years from the date the account is charged to profit or loss, whereby the creditor then ceases reporting, and the tradeline is removed from the consumer's report.
As previously mentioned, loans 8 through 13 were consolidated on February 28, 2007 as loan 14. Separate tradelines were established on your credit report to represent each subsidy portion of the Consolidation Loan.
The loan immediately reflected repayment status. Your current repayment schedule entails remitting installments of $141.55 on the 25th of each month. We credited your most recent remittance of $141.55 on December 24, 2007, which satisfied the installment due December 25, 2007. Your next $141.55 payment will be due by January 25, 2008. As a result of your regular, timely payments for loan 14, you may be assured that no unfavorable information has been reported about this loan since its disbursement.
We trust this information is sufficient for your needs. If you have any additional questions, you may call our Customer Service Department at 800-233-0557. Our loan counselors are available Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. through 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time to review your account and discuss available repayment options.
