Universal Accounting Center UAC, Universal Accounting PREYING ON THE UNEMPLOYED TUITION SCAM! Salt Lake City , Utah
I was simply looking for a job so I could pay my bills when I wound up on all the online job boards sifting through the misrepresentations filling up my inbox. After receiving several notices, I thought a seminar would be a good way to meet people in the community, gain some insight about the accounting field and, hopefully, pick up some new leads. How was I to know it was a student recruitment entitled "Start and Build Your Own Successful Accounting Service". They said that in just 3 hours:
"Your professional career in accounting may never be the same. You will learn how to start and build your own accounting business and finally get paid what you are worth. You will have a clear competitive
advantage with a system that will assure the quality of your work and your success in attracting
and retaining your own clients."
I had to answer my phone. I was looking for a job. Well, after 69 minutes of listening to the Senior Enrollment Director describe my wildest dreams of building a successful career in my field of study, she was congratulating me on my new enrollment to UAC. What? Wait a minute. I'm unemployed. I've depleted my savings. I'm already a full-time student at a highly accredited college. I just earned an associates degree and presently studying for a bachelor's. I have no time or money available for anything else. I made that clear in our conversation.
Now I cannot get my initial $372 payment back. I cannot return the books without paying a 15% restocking fee of an equal amount. I owe $870 for missed installments and now threats of collections against me for over $6,600. I need a lawyer...now.
