American Professional Institute Helms College Scammed everyone Macon Georgia
I attended API in 2012 for the Medical Billing and Coding program. When I first signed up fo the program, we had an option to have our student refund deposited into our banks, that never happened. I attended for 8 months, then I went out to do my clinicals at a local private owned holistic doctors officce.
I complained to them about the way I was being treated at that location and they were looking for me another location to finish. I had about 16 hrs left to complete my clinicals and get my certificate when I received a call from my instructor saying that they had just recieved notification that the school was bankrupt and they were closing their doors at the end of the month and I didn't need to come back.
A couple of years goes by and I relocate back to my home town and try to enroll into the local technical college and that's when I was told that I had outstanding balances for student loans. I go online to file for a loan forgiveness because the school closed down and I was denied.
I was able to talk to someone and they explained that the reason that I was denied forgiveness is because the school did not close down, they were still oporating but they just changed the name of the school. I explained to her the situation and she told me nothing could be done because they were still in business. I received the repot, and they changed the school name to HELMS COLLEGE, whaich was operating in my hometown, I was pissed.
Me and hundreds of students were left with thousaands of dollars in debt from a scamming school who took all of that money and left us with the bill and no certifications, no records, no nothing and nothing could be done about it. I wish I had proof because I would sue their a** real quick for all of the thousands that I had to pay for nothing and the stress and mental anguish they caused.
