I spoke to one of the reps and they said they'll be able to set up a monthly taking out of my non-American account. I'm skeptical but hoping for the best!

I was wondering if I could take out a loan through American Education Services (AES) for my studies abroad. Has anyone done this ? Is it possible ? I would appreciate so much any information on this topic, THANK YOU!! Nerina Hello everyone,

Like Andy said, it really is amazing how difficult they make it to give them your money! @Breagha,

Or is that not possible? Perhaps transferring the money into the American account is the difficult part. I guess technically this is what you're doing, just not debit wise through your bank. Having lived overseas a number of times (though while I was in school, not while actually paying back loans), I totally understand the difficulties of getting money to and from the US, as well as the National Bank of Mom and Dad and how thankful one is/should be to have that luxury :) Merry Christmas!

Glad your arrangement with your Dad worked out well. Luckily, I no longer have a student loan (from the UK but now living in NZ). <abbr><em>Andy @ Retire at 40´s last blog post..<a href="http://retire-at-40.blogspot.com/2008/12/credit-cards-are-another-tool-in-your.html" rel="nofollow">Credit Cards are another Tool in your Financial Toolbox</a></abbr></em> Wow, isn't is amazing how hard some companies seem to make it to actually give them money.
