ECPI Virginia Beach Campus ECPI Scam Internet
ECPI is a SCAM... My tuition was paid using my GI Bill and Tuition Assistance and a Student Loan. Now they tell me 6 years later I owe them 5k more. I don't think so. Keep my 35 Credits and tell the governement what you did with the money they gave you for your classes. So far the 35 college credits have cost me around 25K. Keep it ECPI, you want get another penny from me.

I'm not sure of your personal situation, but ECPI did get in documented legal trouble with the government. They did illegal activities with the Aid and basically the government broke their a*s in two about it. Honestly, will all the bull going on with ECPI, I wouldn't be surprise if they are faced with a class action lawsuit, if they have not already. They need to be shutdown and stop lying to honest people trying to make a better situation for themselves.
1. They aren't accredited
2. The price of the degree isn't worth the ink it's printed on
Save yourself the trouble and attended an community college which is accredited.

You are wrong in saying that the military did not pay the tuition. #1, they would have notified me and told me this up front. #2 I would have had to pay the Navy back and not ECPI. I used the military service not ECPI. #3. The military would not have anything like that because who knows when we would have to go to war and we would not be able to finish like I did. I had to deploy for Iraq. That was one of the many reasons I could not finish. So save the excuses. ECPI is a ripp off!!!

This may not be a SCAM. This type of thing typically happens when students discontinue enrollment at a college prior to completing their degree, especially if it is in the middle of an academic term. Although, financial aid may initially pay a student's costs, should that student leave prior to completion the college must refund the money back to the aid source. If this has occurred, the student may still owe the institution the balance, because most types of financial aid (including military tuition assistance) will not pay for incomplete coursework.
If this happens the student will carry a debt with the institution, and eventually if this debt remains uncollected, it may be sold to a collections agency.
However, if this scenario does not apply to your specific circumstances, I would suggest contacting the institution for a clear explanation.
