Background Information on American Education Services
American Education Services (AES) was established in 1963 by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) in order to provide federal and private student loans. They operate today in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
When a government-backed student loan becomes defaulted, the financial lender can submit a claim to the guarantor of the loan, such as Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA), who systematically purchases these loans. At that time, PHEAA Default Collections can begin to pursue actions on the account for immediate payment in full, which include student loan wage garnishment and seizure of income tax returns, also known as an offset of government entitlements.
American Education Services' operates numerous affiliated websites include, but are not limited to, aessuccess.org, pheaa.ord,myfedloan.org, youcandealwithit.com, and educationplanner.com.

Where possible, our lawyers will communicate with the agents and collectors working on behalf of the creditor to explore the available resolution options. With private loans, it may be possible to negotiate the debt in a private student loan settlement at a reduced amount, sometimes resulting in a substantial savings compared to the actual balance. Although settlement may be possible on some federal student loans, our attorneys also explore the possibility of resolution through loan rehabilitation or consolidation.
