Buyer BewareThey have been sued for telling people their credits can be accepted to universities when they can't even transfer to a community collegeThey were recently sued for 73Kdue to thatThe course I took included Dreamweaver CC and the book they supplied was for dreamweaver It was all out of dateIt was a complete joke, no instructors would ever answer my questionsA joke!
I have had problems with this school from the time I startedMy counselor gave me a timeline to follow for my courses, but the timeline was more time than I had to finishSo I ended up going past my semester datesThe most trouble I had was with the director of the "Externship" programI was having a hard time finding a location to do my Externship and she was absolutely no help to meWhen I found a location and submitted my paperwork, I never received an email stating my paperwork had been receivedOut of concern, I emailed the director several times to check with her about my paper work but I never was answeredI called several times with no answer and left several voicemails for her and again she didn't respond for over a weekThen it was a hassle with my paperwork It was over a month before she submitted my paperworkWhen I emailed to ask how the approval process was going she told me she had only submitted it a week before and I needed to give it time (although it had already been a month by now.) we emailed back and forth a couple times that day and in her last email she rudely responded with, "understand that every time I have to respond to your emails it is preventing me from actually working on the paperwork." I do not appreciate her attitude nor her inability to perform her job
I signed up for *** *** School in February and was very eager to get back to studyingAfter using the online service twice I decided that I didn’t like the programI called to cancel my serviceI have not used or even signed in to itThey do not lend money Afro I chose to do monthly paymentsNow they have placed my account in collections for $1,Why do I still owe this when I cancelledDo not use this service for they are not a real school and are not accreditedThey are frauds and will mess up your credit
Not knowing when I enrolled I would have to do an *** Site Selection I proceeded forward with my first course After reading through the requirements for the site selection I contacted a student/academic adviser and explained that due to my current work schedule I would not be able to fulfill the requirement as outlined and asked what could be done so that I could continue to attend classesThe response I received was that it was "being looked into." I sent another email a few days alter asking for follow up
Having not received follow up Idecided the best course of action for me would be to withdraw from the program and begin looking else where to complete my degree In looking over my enrollment agreement I saw that in order to cancel I either needed to mail a physical request or email Penn Foster through my Student Portal on the contact us page After going to the contact us page I could not find an email address anywhere
I enrolled into penn foster and they claimed to be a light school to obtain a high school diplomaI enrolled and shortly got laid offI contacted them immediately and was told that I can stop the program whenever and contact them when I was ready to get back on trackI did further research and found that what I was told to enroll was a lieIn fact many students could not obtain any student federal aid because of their accreditationI tried calling and even emailing them and calling them out on their crapNo one would return my calls or email me back and I threaten them and all of a sudden here I am with a collection notice after I threaten them
I signed up to take the travel agent course from this online businessI paid a lot of my money for this courseI was told that the price I was paying included ALL materials I needed to complete the courseI get 70% done and am now being told that I have to pay extra to complete the training because now, and not mentioned at time of enrollment, I am being told that I need to spend more money to finish the course successfullyI feel that I have been duped as I have worked hard to get to this point and just now I get, that I need more money to finishThe business I feel is employing a tactic to extract more money when a student is near the end so that they are obligated to spend this money to finish, by withholding materials needed to finish
On 7/18/17, I was told I would be issued a refund of but had to wait days In the letter it states my credit card would be credited or a check under separate cover They also debited an additional in error and I was told that there was also a day wait
Now that I have waited my days (which I do not agree with anyways) The school is saying I need to wait an additional to weeks for it to be processed
This is unethical and I want my refund check The hold time to talk to someone was hours, spoke to the supervisor *** who was unempathetic and disconcerned He would not transfer me to *** or to the office of *** *** saying they do not take calls They also have no email
