I am one of many who have been advised to retake all my tests to keep my CDL. I have obtained an attorney and are looking for as many individuals to pursue a class action suit against Swift. There will be no fees. I have information of who to contact. It would be greatly appreciated for the word to be spread out in order for all those who have been affected by this to get justice. I would like to hear from as many individuals who are interested in pursuing this to the end. Note there will only be one individual who will be the main plaintiff to stand for all those who agree to sign up for legal action to be taken. Get the word out so we all dont get screwed because of the fraud that was commited by Swift. My email address is [email protected]. Let us all stand as one cause after all we are Americans with rights and not scum to be walked on!!!!!! Take charge and take pride in yourselfs for I do and I will not be taken granted.

THERE IS A WAY OUT AND IT IS CALLED STUDENT LOAN LAW! FIGHT TRADE SCHOOL ABUSE!

#2Consumer Comment

Mon, February 09, 2009

THERE IS A WAY OUT AND IT IS CALLED STUDENT LOAN LAW! FIGHT TRADE SCHOOL ABUSE! I THINK THIS WILL BE OF HELP TO THOSE APPRENTICE TRUCKDRIVERS WHO GOT SCREWED OVER BY TRUCK DRIVING COMPANY-SPONSORED SCHOOLS WHO KEPT THE ON ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO SCARF UP THAT FEDERAL LOAN MONEY AND THEN CAN THEM AND BRING IN A BOATLOAD OF NEW SUCKERS/MARKS/VICTIMS. I WAS BUYING USED LAW BOOKS WHEN I CAME ACROSS A VERY INTERESTING ONE CALLED 'STUDENT LOAN LAW: COLLECTIONS, INTERCEPTS,DEFERMENTS, DISCHARGES, REPAYMENT PLANS, AND TRADE SCHOOL ABUSES' IT IS PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL CONSUMER LAW CENTER. I CAN NOT GIVE YOU ADVICE FROM THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT IS THE 2002 EDITION AND I AM SURE THAT IT HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY A NEWER EDITION SINCE IT IS NOW SEVEN YEARS LATER --2009! I THINK THERE ARE LEGAL FORMS IN THE CD ROM IN THE BACK OF THE BOOK TO BE FILED IN COURT, AND I THINK THIS MIGHT HAVE TO BE FILED IN FEDERAL COURT-- NOT A PROBLEM FOR MOST ATTORNEYS. YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONTACT THE PEOPLE WHO PUBLISH THIS BOOK AND SEE IF YOU CAN GET A MORE RECENT COPY SINCE I DON'T KNOW MANY LAWYERS WHO MAKE A SPECIALTY OF THIS SORT OF LEGAL PRACTICE AND IF YOU KNOW THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK A LAWYER, HE OR SHE AN DETERMINE IF YOU HAVE A GOOD CASE AND BE BETTER EQUIPPED TO HELP YOU. YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET A COPY AND SHOW IT TO A LAWYER AND SEE IF HE OR SHE COULD HELP YOU GET OUT FROM UNDER THAT DEBT. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE TO BE A LAWYER OR A LAW STUDENT TO GET THIS BOOK BUT HERE IS WHO YOU WRITE TO FOR MORE DETAILS: PUBLICATION DEPARTMENT,NATIONAL CONSUMER LAW CENTER,77 SUMMER STREET, BOSTON MA 02110. THE SITUATION YOU ARE DESCRIBING SOUNDS LIKE A CLASSIC CASE OF TRADE SCHOOL ABUSE AS IT IS DEPICTED IN THIS BOOK BUT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED AN ATTORNEY TO STOP THIS. M Y ADVICE TO YOU IS TO CONTACT YOUR STATE BAR ASSOCIATION--THEY SHOULD HAVE A LAWYER REFERRAL SERVICE AND SEE IF THEY RECOMMEND ANYONE WHO WORKS WITH STUDENT LOAN LAW. OR CHECK WITH AN ATTORNEY WHO KNOWS BANKRUPTCY LAW AND ASK HIM OR HER ABOUT STUDENT LOAN LAW. GOOD LUCK! YOU DESERVE A LOT MORE THAN STRUGGLING TO PAY BACK ONE OF THOSE ORGANIZED CRIME-STYLE LOANS WITH THE INTEREST THAT NEVER STOPS!

Why not just file criminal fraud charges

#3Consumer Suggestion

Thu, February 05, 2009

Anyone check into filing fraud charges against Swift?? We had something similar here in Jax several years ago. A truck driving training school took money to train drivers and then test them. The test did not consist of the required on-road testing as required and the students lost their CDL's unless they took another road test. This time with the state. The students then filed civil suit and I think there were criminal charges filed against the owners of the school as well as the ones who administered the "road test". Depending on the limits in your state as far as small claims go. You should be able to get back some of your money through a small claims court and not have to deal with lawyers.

Like to see it work but doubt it will

A suit probably will fail. The loan is based upon training, not getting a cdl, a job, retaining a job, etc. I used to go over the loan contract with the students at the now defunct KC academy. There were many who failed the course but still have to pay the loan....just like going to college...there is no guarantee you will get a degree, but you still have to pay tuition. I would love to see Swift have to pay for this mess but doubt they will. Good luck to all of you!

I would be interested in the class action law suit. I've been doin research and getting information about how things were ufolded and such. You can contact me at (((ROR redacted))) When going for it, are you looking to get the loan dismissed and other damages? such as time spent, money used out of pocket, and the fact that most people now don't even have stable jobs do to not finishing even a year with the company due to hardships brought on by the company. please contact me. I wouldn't mind speaking with the lawyer you have optained. Just to get a feel and see the direction. thanks Cheng CLICK here to see why Rip-off Report, as a matter of policy, deleted either a phone number, link or e-mail address from this Report.
