College Funding Center ripoff dishonest fraudulent Plano Texas
I had received a post card in the mail today telling me that with deep regret and sadness, we must inform you that College Funding Center (and its parent company, The College Advantage, inc) has been forced out of business after nineteen yerars. We are extremely disappointed that circumstances beyond our control have forced us to close our doors and that we will not be able to service your account further. At this point, you must take upon yourself all activities that College Funding Center was pursuing on your behalf. This letter terminates all College Funding Center Communications---both from and to the company.
This is after I paid $1,144.00 in September of 2003 and have not received anything but one piece of paper that I needed to complete fax back to the company. They did not provide me one bit of service. I am very sadden that a company with 19 years of experience could not even have the common courtesy to advised me that I would be getting a refund, besides sending me a post card in the mail. Not one mention about refunding my money.

The College Funding Group shut their doors, after being sued by The Federal Trade Commission for deceptive selling practices, AND because they were charging people for information; which is already available COST FREE. You can get all of the same information at your local library for free. They have no status or extra pull. It isn't necessary for you to pay an upfront fee, in order for your child to qualify or receive financial aid. Please contact this person for your refund, while monetary assests last: Gary D. Kennedy Senior Litigation Councel Federal Trade Commission 1999 Bryan Street, Suite 2150 Dallas, TX, 75201 214-979-9350 (voice) 214-953-3079 (fax) Act fast, because there might not be funds left to distribute. Get back to us if you have more questions, you can also access www.ftc.gov (Federal Trade Commission) for more info, but most importantly contact Mr. Kennedy.
