Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below
This does not only disregard the main complaint I have against the company, it exacerbates itI attempted to cancel my contract with TCN over years ago and was told that I would continue to have to pay my loan to them in full because I had access to all of the information since day So if I was to cancel the services with TCN now, after I paid my loan off in full, not only would I have to wait an ADDITIONAL 10-weeks for the requested exam fees I asked for over weeks ago, but I would lose all of the resources I've already paid forHypothetically, if I was to accept the offer, at very best I am looking to receive all monies owed 26-weeks (out of weeks in a calendar year) after initial request, which by any business standard is unacceptable.This does not address the fact that TCN has already failed to deliver on their promise to process and send the monies owed within the 2, then 6-8, then 10-week time frame I have been repeatedly toldTo have a resolution to cancel my services that are already paid in full and hope in good faith that TCN would follow on their word now is rather insulting and provides absolutely no benefit or resolution to me whatsoever
Regards,
*** ***

I have multiple concerns
I have not received reimbursement for the last exams that I have takenI can not go any further in my program at this time
No return call or email from customer service department after placing dozens of calls and emails
Misleading advertisementNot at all what they advertise and sell to you
I am unsure if I am even going to be able to graduate from *** *** as I signed up for because they have lost their accreditation with them

On or around 04/09/2015, The College Network, Inc and their Program Advisor, Jeryl W***, fraudulently misrepresented to my mother and I that The College Network's online nursing degree program could make a reasonable accommodation to accommodate my disability (severe testing anxiety and attention deficit disorder), by allowing me to take final exams for my online nursing degree courses over the computer with a relaxed time limit Relying upon W***'s representations, I agreed to enroll in the online nursing degree programAt the conclusion of the first course, W*** and The College Network reneged on their promises and refused to provide the accommodation To date, The College Network has refused all attempts to resolve the matter Recently, I became aware that MrW***'s contact information, which he provided to me at our 04/09/meeting, is no longer valid Neither The College Network, nor MrW***, has since provided any updated contact information

This business solicited a program to me that would provide test prep material and exam fees to complete a nursing degree with Excelsior CollegeThis program was financed through Southeast Financial via an application with College Network Representative Gary ***I have since completed all nursing classes and have NOT been reimbursed by College Network for these fees, for a total of over $I have spent the last year calling, emailing, and filing disputes with College Network and have yet to receive any response or exam reimbursements

In I signed up an online class through The College NetworkIt was a personal loan that I started paying monthly around $a monthTheir study guides and online modules was not very helpfulI continued to do the online class approximately monthsEvery time I call to inquire about the clinical portion of the program the College Network representative always says that their contract with *** *** and *** *** *** is still pendingI finally decided to call The College Network and told them that I would stop with the online program because of their poor service and their online formatting is not helpful to learning and passing the classesI requested them numerous times to send me credit for the subjects I passed but never receive anything from them even though I paid for it
When I called them back in the College Network informed me that they are not accepting students from California and I owe them the full loan of almost $10,I was paying them $

I signed a contract to go from LPN to RN with the college networkI only received two books due to my lack of motivation at the timeI continued to pay the monthly payments and my loan is paid in fullAt one point they gave me two more classes to take that I didn't sign up to takeAltogether these classes equaled up to being $ I have been trying to get a refund for almost two years nowEverytime I call they tell me that it's still processingOne associate told me it would only take up to daysThey even had me send a letter that would be reviewed with a response within weeksThat was months ago with no responseWhat can I do? I have paid this company over 9,for two booksI did my part in paying them in full to save my credit scoreNow I would like them to do their part in paying me back what is owed to me
