Complaint Review: AmeriTrain - Charlotte / Cary North Carolina

I am an employee of Elite Training in Charlotte. Our offices are located at 2359 Perimeter Pointe Parkway, Suite 120. We are in NO way connected with Ameritrain. I repeat, the address and directions listed in this article are NOT the new headquarters for Ameritrain, and Elite Training has absolutely no connection with that company.

Did anyone notice that the information that Steve Gouveia provided on this web site for the re-location of Charlotte is different than what he provided on the AmeriTrain web site? They are re-locating all of the school locations because they have outstanding bills left at the rental locations that they were occupying when you began your classes. Please don't be fooled! All they are trying to do is put off the classes until the bankruptcy suit can be put in to action - then what will all of you do? If you take their "follow-up" classes, you are showing them that they can get away with this and what they did is not wrong. PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED!

I have just gotten off the phone with the Consumer Protection division of the NC Attorney Generals office. They report that there are no complaints filed against Ameritrain. They are going to get away with this if you don't do something. The web site you need to go to to find out how to file a complaint is http://www.jus.state.nc.us/cpframe.htm. The number you need to call to verify what I am telling you is 716-6000. The BBB is not going to help you. They do not pursue legislation. They are only a good for nothing mediation tool. If you do not file a complaint they will get away with this. Joe call all of the students that you can get in touch with. The AG office will work harder on this if they have more complaints. PLEASE DO SOEMTHING. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. DON'T WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO FILE THE COMPLAINT. YOU HAVE TO TAKE ACTION NOW!!!! The response from Ameritrain is typical. "We did nothing wrong." Then shut up and let it pass. (Hi Steve you little f&%k). Sorry everyone else. I know them too well. They are going to make it very difficult for you. You must persist if you ever want to to see your money or justice in this matter.

Joe, you know me, I was the director there at Ameritrain in Charlotte. I want to let you know that I am here to help all the students in any way I possibly can. Please know that none of the employees had any knowledge of what was about to happen and we were victems as well. I never recieved a very large sum of money that was owed to me, and in the amount of what most students had paid for their classes. I am out just as much money as a result of Doug Davis's greed, lies, and deception. I feel badly that I was the one who sold many of the students their classes, but at the time, thought that Ameritrain was a legitimate school who would give the students what they paid for. I feel horrible about what they did to all of you, and hate what they did to me and my fellow co-workers as well. I wish you the best of luck, and will help you in any way possible to get justice. Steve Gouveia, went into the Charlotte school, and in my office to shred all evidence I had against them. Most of my direction was via phone conversation or fax, they were very careful in the end not to have any trace of alot of what was told to do. I keep everything, and Steve knew that. Some of the students went in there while he was there clearing my office an saw him do so. They are the lowest form of life on earth, and knew at least 6 months ago that they were going to do this. But they left me and the other employees in the dark about it! Please don't hold us in the same light with the dogs who did this to you and all the other students. Good Luck, and let me know if you need me for anything. I have a case pending against them as well!!!!!!!
