Complaint Review: AIA Actors Studio

i signed up for a weekend intensive class at AIA studios. i signed up less than 30 days before class.the class is $1000.00.

AIA passed my headshot on to a director, who is doing a short film.the director cast me in the film.the film shoots the same day as the class.

i called AIA and said i need to cancel my class because i'm shooting the same day as the class. i was told no refunds would be given as it was not AIA's policy. i asked to recieve credit and was told no. they told me it was my choice to do the film and not take the class.

i told them so you are just going to take my money? they said that there is nothing i could do except take the class i signed up for.

i signed up for the class on 8/21/03
the class is on 9/19-9/21/03
i called to cancel on 9/9/03
i was denied a refund or credit on 9/9/03
