corinthian colleges, everest college asking for money..got no loans/ financial aid, letters in mail merrillville, Indiana
When I was 17 years old I got my ged, and decided to look into Everest College. At the time I didn't read much about it and decided it was a good quick option. I enrolled, started classes. On the second day of class my advisor pulled me out and told me they were notified that I had to be 18 years of age to attend. I still had a few months until my birthday. I decided not to return after hearing no one hires Everest graduates, and reading horror stories online. I'm now 19 and Everest is sending me mail telling me I owe them money. The most recent letter says I owe $1,049.16 t says I have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt. I need help I have no idea what to do. I don't feel I owe them anything. Also they said they were accredited and recently heard they are not. Help please!!!!!

Hello,
CCi - Everest is accredited but you should know there are multiple agencies that offer accreditation.
Regarding your financial obligation, contact Jeff Baxley who is the Division Head of Student Finance and is ultimately responsible for the Merrillville campus. His number is 251-602-6200. You can also contact the Manager of Student Services, Marc Ner at the home office in California. His number is 714-427-3000 ext 917.
