Ultrasound Diagnostic School :sanford Brown took student loans but did not earn any certifications Trevose Pennsylvania
i was fresh out of high school and went to uds to become a ultrasound techician, at the time i was told ot to sign anything but i did they told me the course would be about 11 months and i would have my certificate,
well i signed for student loans after much pressure from them, attended classes excled in my classes only to find out it was for medical assistant not even ultrasound tech, i spoke to president and displayed my disappointment they kept giving me the run around
they took all my student loan money and now i am stuck paying it back for something i dont even have, financial institution was informed of this at the time and they kept giving them the money anyway after much protest from me
is there anything i can do now i have all these collectors coming after me for the loans, and as for the financial institution, can i go after them also for sending money out when they were contacted numberous times not too
i need help i can not afford all this

I went to Sanford Brown in Trevose as well. Wanted in the Ultrasound Program and was told I had to take the MA course first. I am a single mom of 3 kids I was serious and did very well in my classes. When needing to take a leave of absence they waited so long to get me the paper work they then kicked me out of the program. I had a 3.8 GPA. One of the best students in my class.
I had to move to be closer to my mom and was talking to Pittsburgh thought maybe I could transfer My branch wouldnt even answer my calls or emails about what I needed to do to transfer and the pitt branch said he would see what needed to be done and get back to me later that week. 3 months later he calls me. By now I have called him. Left messages. Nobody will even give me a call. Now ive had it with the school. I threatened to join a lawsuit and then magically they were all about helping me out. Not to mention having my name wrong on 2 of the emails. They are the worst school. Most people that had graduated and came back in to visit would warn us to get out. They cant find a job and some of them couldnt get a straight answer as to when the boards were and they had been out of school for months. Granted they take on alot of people that dont relly want to be there. Welfare moms that arent allowed to be on it anymore and the gov is paying for them to go. These women dont want to be there. they want to remain on welfare with several so its a big joke. The school has a bad reputation and if I ever saw any of the people I had class with at a doctors office I would leave.
Now I am stuck with a bill for a school that didnt live up to its side of the bargin. I get a statement in the mail saying I owe 0.00 and then a week later saying Im passed due o my bill?! They cant even bill correctly. Im trying to get a copy of my transcripts now to go another school where I live now and Im having trouble with that too.
If anybody ris and is planning to go here reads this, DONT!

I just finished my degree from Sanford-Brown, It was one of the best choices I have ever made. I did the Criminal Justice program in Wisconsin. The Instructors and Staff were everything I could ever need. This school backed me 100% and had by best intrest in mind. The instructors are over qualified, and will bend over backwards to see you excel. I also have great chances now, to get my dream job! Sorry this happened to you, possibly the State you are in?
