I am also interested in forming a class action lawsuit.  The school informed me that some of my financial aid would not have to be paid back.  They did not give thorough information on financial aid and could not answer questions about financial aid.  They skewed the numbers so I would receive more financial aid than needed. 

 

In addition, they indicated that they would help you find a job.  They did not help very much.  Moreover, the jobs that they did find were entry level and not for someone with experience.  They were at poverty levels.  

 

They attempted to try to get me to take more classes, but I refused.

I am also interested in forming a class action lawsuit.  I have considered calling an attorney and I am not sure if there is already a lawsuit in play.  I did recieve a check from a class action suit that was involving this school but it was not about tuition.  It was about the ATM fees and I did recieve 88 dollars.  I am interested in finding out how a school can legally charge you almost 20 thousand dollars for less than one year of online education.  I have almost 30 thousand in total fees after interest and everything else.  They have taken my last two tax refunds totalling almost 15 thousand dollars and are now trying to garnish my wages.  I am a waitress.  I paid for the course and also was not able to keep up the GPA required because of one test.  I had to re-take a class and pay for it again and was failed the second time.  I am a very intelligent person, I graduated high school with honors and I have since taken a real estate course online and passed all of those courses with excellent grades.  The school is set up for students to fail so that they can make more money.  This should be illegal and needs to be investigated.  I am exhausted from reading all of these reports and complaints online.  I have seen thousands of negative reports and the only positive reports I see look like a form letter written by an administrator.  I will be contacting an attorney.  If anyone else has any luck moving forward with a lawsuit please contact me at [email protected]
