Adding to a Sims' student loan debt

I've created a mod that allows Sims to take out bank loans, but I'm lacking a way to make them pay them off.
So I thought I'd use Discover University's student loan system, since the mechanics for paying off the loan never actually call them *student* loans. It's always just "loans", as seen here:

I've tried various different loot actions to add to my Sims' debt, but it never seems to actually recognize it, and the option to pay off the debt at a mailbox never appears. I've poked around in the xml and I've found "loot_Statistic_Loans_Set10000," a debug loot action, which should be pretty straightforward, being a debug cheat, but it doesn't appear to do anything. Here's my version:

1100
223186

I've set the debt statistic to the amount I want, so what do I need to do to get the game to acknowledge the debt?

There is a loans command that you could try but it will require the AllCheats mod to use it. Its sims.take_out_loan (Sim ID) (Loan Amount) (loan_type: use 1 or LoanType.UNIVERSITY).

Also check your interaction. Sometimes it can go wrong there.
