This is just plain crazyWe have been following up on a payment that is due to one of the Langua World Teachers for over a month with the owner Sandrine Samperi who is less than accommodating whrn it comes to money ( see the other reports) . When we e mailed and called the Langua World office we got no reply so I decided to check out the internet, and found this site describing the various judgments and disputes in the recent past. Upon this find I went directly to see if the office was still open, it was.

I knocked on a door that indicated Main Office and out comes this arrogant French ( B*T#H ) who upon hearing I was there to enquire about the outstanding payment flew into a range and literally attacked me with her bare hands. I am a full grown man who presented himself in a very non threatening congenial manor and was literally attached physically bu this Sandrine Samperi woman. I was shocked to say the least and appalled by the immediate turn to violence when she heard that I was following up to collect a payment for services provided by my spouse.

What I find most troubling is that upon calling the NYPD they indicated they have been to this same address numerous times for the same kind of assaults, disputes between the owner and clients, employees over money that was either not returned or not paid out appropriately.

This French woman thinks she is some kind of untouchable, but as you can read she already has judgments against her in court and now has a Sheriff after her for a court ordered payment that she defaulted on..What makes this arrogant woman think she can walk all over people, an attitude like that will only drive people to be more determined about getting even with her, and on that note we don't need violence or fists, we can use the BBB and government channels to strip the French c*n^ of everything she has.

Anyone want to file a class action im there , I was physically assaulted, and ONLY because I am a gentlemen she didn't get her face beat in backwards

I don't know where you're from frenchie but here in NYC we don't disrespect the people trying to help you out like that...seems you should be looking over your shoulder, you have pissed a lot of people off involving money not a healthy thing to do in any caseDNT GO TO LANGUA WORLD !!!!!!!!!!

Langua World refunded me upon my request even though I had signed a non-refund policy

I reconsidered taking the Indonesian classes that I registered and paid for at Langua World because I am a graduate student and already have a heavy course load. After asking for a refund from Langua World, they refunded me for the course and also offered me one free Indonesian language course. I appreciate the accommodations that Langua World has made for me.

Code of conduct/Procedures exist to be followed - really?

#3Consumer Comment

Mon, December 28, 2009

I find it quite unbelievable that Sandrine is quoting 'codes of conduct' and stating 'procedures exist to be followed'. I filed a law suit and won a judgment against Langua World. Sandrine never paid. The sheriff has visited this place twice to collect the debt and she still refuses to pay.

She claims In the US, you need to leave when we ask you to. Well, in the US you also have to pay when the court and the sheriff say you must. What sort of establishment has this many complaints about payments, and has the sheriff and the police stopping by?

I am following up with letters to the New York Attorney General with copies of the documentation from the sheriffs office as well as the documentation from the suit.

I Kriss,
I am a French girl, i was working for Sandrine Samperi during 2weeks. She is very rude and very disrespectful, she had a bad attitude. She treat people like an animal. She didn t pay me back and when i call her she didn t pick up the phone. ( hang up many times). I went to the office on 353W 48th street to have my money but she moved. So i will go to the police as soon as possible. The story is so long, i have some message and mail menace from her.
I have also some questions about your action, if she pay back your money,....
Can i get your email address ?
Best regards

THE POLICE DID ASK MY STUDENT WHAT HAPPENED, WE HAVE A WITNESS

Adelina's husband forced himself into my classroom after i had asked him several times to leave the premises, according to the police he is not allowed to come back to our facilities ever again and the police did ask me if i wanted to press charges against him especially since he was supposed to leave when i asked him to, the police told me to call them immediately if he ever would come back, and that they would arrest him. I had no further time to waste on that poor guy to have him go to jail last night, we have a note on the door that says " by appointment only", Adelina has been working here for a while and should know the policy and the code of conduct, invoices are to be submitted on the 30th of each month, not 3 months later and pay checks go out on the 16th after we review all documentations, her husband is mistaken the police for the civil court and my place for a public park, his obnoxious behavior is not going to take him anywhere in life! In the US, you need to leave when we ask you to, you are not going to get your way just because you decided that you wanted to get paid on your own time. Procedures exist to be followed. We are suing both of them now for materials and physical damages which will cost them more than they ever thought of.

FYI IT WAS ME WHO CALLED THE POLICE

Let us clarify, It was me who called the police and it was the Police who made a comment on how rude and nasty Ms Sandrine was, unfortunately when you run from people who you owe money to, you should not be surprised to eventually see them at your door. When i arrived under the premise i wanted to pay money for class she was warm and welcoming, when she found out my real reason for the visit the attitude changed into 100% animal. I called the police and they arrived I calmly explained the situation, they addressed Ms Sandrine who then came to ask me if I wanted to file a report against her, I declined as a gentlemen knowing that this would only further inflame the situation and put the already broke and desperate Sandrine into further trouble ( read the other report where a customer filed a claim against her in court, won and now she has defaulted on her court ordered payment) I agree that the student must have been alarmed but what was more alarming is that MS Sandrine took what was basically a verbal dispute over nonpayment for teaching services rendered to a physical level with a grown adult man. The only thing that saved her this day was her gender because a man NEVER hits a woman and that's thatthis being said this woman keeps running her mouth and that isn't a healthy thing to do especially when you don't really know who you are dealing with. very dangerous thing to do these days a lot of crazy people out there Sandrine you should look over your shoulder every step you take the worlds watching you , and based on the interned buzz they all know you're a scum bag.keep up the good work in that miserable rat hole you call a school more like a closet with desk in it. YOU CONTINUE THIS ATTACK ON US AND I WILL EASILY FILE THE COMPLAINT AGAINST YOU THERE IS STILL TIME TO CHANGE MY DECISION AND KEEP THAT IN MINDstop blaming everyone else YOU ARE YOUR OWN BIGGEST PROBLEM

PAY CHECKS GO OUT ON THE 16TH OF THE MONTH AS WRITTEN IN THE CODE OF CONDUCT

This individual actually assaulted me while i was teaching, i have a student who can prove it, he also broke a couple of things in our hallway before leaving, leaving glass all over the place, the police came to check if everything was ok and inquire about the glass spread all over our hallway. I must warn you against Adelina N. Asoltanei and her husband who may abuse you as well, do not deal with them at any cost, she teaches Romanian. We actually did call the police ourselves a couple of times for guest coming unannounced and who didn't want to leave. The police did tell Adelina's husband to leave and to never come back to our facility again or he would get arrested.
