They will not give you a loan unless you could already get a loan from anyone else. Not sure why you wouldn’t just go through Sallie Mae

I am severely dissatisfied with how disbursements are managed. The lack of flexibility on payout dates is frustrating enough, but missing a scheduled disbursement without any prior notice or explanation is completely negligent. Because your team failed to deliver on the promised date and didn't bother to communicate the delay, my bank account was hit with preventable overdraft fees during an already tight financial time. I am taking steps to better my life, and this total breakdown in your system actively hurt me financially.

I am disappointed by the lack of communication regarding my loan. Representative thanks for your help Not.

Extremely Disappointed with Ascent/Launch Servicing I am extremely disappointed with how Ascent/Launch Servicing has handled my account. Despite serious financial and medical hardship, I have consistently made every effort to meet my loan obligations. I contacted them on July 25, 2026, to request forbearance and still made a $553.90 payment on July 31. Despite this, a late payment was reported to the credit bureaus, causing my credit score to drop 58 points. I am asking them to consider the circumstances, my payment history, and my continued efforts to remain responsible and remove the negative reporting as a goodwill adjustment. Very disappointing customer treatment. I hope someone in management actually reviews this case.

Ran into family problems and asked for extension or to start over since I was barely starting and was left unanswered numerous X's instead of helping and now they trying to put me more in debt even without a job still!!

Impossible to contact a LIVE person. The automated system provides borrowers in repayment with 3 options, none of which allow us to speak to a LIVE person. They sent me one email outlining the payment amount, then sent me another, then sent a text with a different amount. A joke to work with and would never recommend to anyone.

Not worth the trouble,

My experience with Ascent Funding and Develops Coding Academy has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. I enrolled with the expectation of receiving a quality educational experience and support, but instead I have been left feeling misled and abandoned. There were numerous issues throughout the process, including concerns about representations made regarding the program, communication, outcomes, and overall value received. As a student and borrower, I expected transparency and accountability, but that was not my experience. What has been most concerning is Ascent Funding's handling of the situation. When serious concerns were raised about Develops Coding Academy, I expected Ascent to investigate thoroughly and provide meaningful assistance to borrowers affected by these issues. Instead, I encountered delays, poor communication, and what felt like a complete lack of concern for the people impacted. Rather than helping resolve the situation, the process became even more stressful and difficult. This has been one of the worst experiences I have ever had involving education financing. The emotional and financial toll has been significant. Based on my experience, I believe Ascent Funding failed to adequately protect or advocate for borrowers who raised legitimate concerns about the school and its practices. The lack of support has left me questioning whether Ascent exercised appropriate oversight before financing students for this program. I would strongly encourage anyone considering financing a program through Ascent Funding or enrolling in Develops Coding Academy not to. There are at least 100 students that have been taken advantage of through this method with Devslopes. The fact that Ascent did background check on the students but did not check the legitamcay of Devslopes foundation was very telling. My experience has been overwhelmingly negative, and I would not want others to go through the same ordeal. Do not use there service just based of my situation.
