I foolishly decided to use the college network to help me through my education at excelsior college Every time I pass an exam they send me an exam fee check for my next exam I requested an exam fee check (for $350) in December and it is still "processing", as is the exam fee check I requested in May They currently owe me two checks, but I would like to request the last one as well as it seems it could take up to a year

I have been paying College Network since and I am no closer to my RN than when I startedThe material I received in hard copy did not match the web version, I could have enrolled directly through Excelsior but I was led to believe I had to go through College NetworkI was encouraged to finance my testing fees with my "educational loan" but now I am unable to request these fees because I didn't complete the online testsI have previously requested to be released from this contract but this request was denied (January 2015) and I continued to pay for another whole year without getting any benefit for my moneyIn reading all of the poor reviews on this website and many others I really have to wonder what agency governs this type of business and why they are STILL in businessI want no money back, not even the test fees, I just want to be released from the remainder of my contract and I want something for my credit report stating the debt is satisfiedI read so many reviews and

This is twice that I have contacted the Revdex.com about this companyznd im having the same problem I have no received my exam fee that I requested in September of I think that the company wants the costumers to fail so that they can keep the moneyI am and have been charging my exam fees to a credit card and would like to request interest charges be refunded I would also like th rest of my exam fees paid up front The college network was the wost choice I hsve ever made with my career They are inhibiting me from my education If they can not resolve this probleI wll have no choice but to contact my lawyer I also intend on newspaper and other media puplications In effort to contact the compay I am never allowed to speak with anyone but academic support I have also e-mailed the company several time with no response Ididnotice that the company is not taking new students im assuming the D rating and money swindling is the reason for this All I want is my money to fi

TCN promises your exam fee checks to be delivered in a decent amount of time…over the years I've been flighting with them they have made it increasingly difficult and hard to obtain these checksI have just about finished the WHOLE program and still am owed of these checksI have not received a check that was requested in almost a YEAR! This was suppose to make it easier, instead I have found myself occurring more debt because of them and having to make choices like do I feed myself this week or take my examI am a hard working nurse…I shouldn't need to make decisions like this!

Paid for program that is not accreditedDon't want to reimburse my money backadvertisement

I had initially signed up with this company to complete my nursing classes online, however I only used this program a couple times and realized that it wasn't a good program to learn from and when I tried to contact the company about cancelling they told me that was not an optionI do not feel like I should have to pay for this program when I haven't even got to use it and I feel like I was completely misled by the guy that came to my house to talk about the programThere were several facts left out of the information he had given me and I feel like I have been taken advantage of when all I am trying to do is better myself for my family and try to have a successful career

I signed on with the College Network, under the promise that these were actual classes, not just " study guides"I was visited by a " personal advisor" who I have yet to ever hear from after he acquired my signatureI had asked SEVERAL times about how the program worked, and was told quote" you will take the classes, and exams, and receive your credits through Excelsior collegeAfter looking even further into this , and contacting Excelsior, I was told that they were not even affiliated with TCN, and what I paid $for was nothing more than study guidesI feel as though I was 100% misled, as I was told I was " enrolling in a distance learning college"This has not been the caseI have finished my course " material", only to find I now have to pay for CLEP exams, which was not explained to meThe " personal advisor" who came to my house, has stated verbatim, that all exam fees were covered in my "tuition", again, not trueI was lied to, blatantly, and was basically harassed i

I am an LPN and was looking for an LPN to RN bridge programI signed up with TCN and was told that they give me all the materials to pass the tests through partner excelsior and then I would be an RNI paid in full on my credit card over $6,I took the class that they suggested first and failed all timesI was then sent a letter from excelsior that I was removed as a student and kicked outI contacted customer service at TCN and they stated....send us a copy of the letter, which I faxed directly overI called them to make sure they received and they didThey then said since I failed the one class test taken times, I could not go for the LPN to RN program, what I signed up for but had to pick another programI said there was not another oneThey said to give what I paid TCN to someone else and I said no, I just want a refund since I am unable/and cant use/ to get the degree I paid forThey said to write a letter so I did stating what they told me to, and never heard any

I entered into a paid contract in with The College NetworkNever had an issue with service until nowJust now I cannot get a reply from their accounting dept to receive my nursing exam reimbursement feeThe only way to contact the dept is by email and there are no other ways to contact the companyThey owe me several thousand dollars for exam feesTheir online study site is still online as well as their academic support staff, but I'm frustrated with the lack of customer service

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.I have provided medical proof that I am physically unable to function as an LPN and therefore would be unable to function as an RNSince I am also unemployed, I have asked TCN to, at the very least, repay the balance of my loan to Southeast Financial Co. Regards,*** ***

I signed a contract with TCN in March of I was financed for the amount of $10,That amount was to pay for the educational materials that they provided and it was also to pay for exam feesPrior to me having signed their contract I was told by their representative that it takes approximately two weeks to receive a check after the request had been madeThe educational material, the quality of which is debatable, was readily available to meHowever, I requested my first check for my exam fee in May of I have contacted them multiple times over the last months and each time was told that it would be arriving shortlyAfter having gone approximately months without having ever received it I requested a refund on the portion allocated to the exam feesI was told by the representative "I don't think we do that"Seeing as the testing material was provided to me as agreed I have no qualms in paying the amount owed for thoseBut, I am requesting the dollar amount for the

Once again I'm here for non-delivery of testing feesI filed a complaint about a month ago and received partial payment of the money they owe meI had five testing fees that I requested last year but they only paid the three oldest requestsNow I have two more fees that were requested at the beginning of October 2014, now five months agoI just don't understand how this "educational" company stays in businessThe absolute worst customer service on the planetBuyer beware, do yourself a favor and stay away from this company
I want ALL of the money that is owed to me so I don't have to deal with these people again!!!!

I contacted this company in January requesting a refund of my test feesI pre paid and did not use them as I went through Excelsior College instead Out if the originally paid I was told I would receive approximately backI was told I would receive it within weeksThey stopped responding to me in June and I still never received a refund which in turn made me unable to pay for my CPNE and finish my nursing course through excelsior

When signing up for The College Network, I was under the impression that I would be taking classes and testing out of the classes that they told me would be through colleges they were in a partnership with, for me it was Excelsior College It wasn't clearly presented to me that I was signing up for a test preparatory program until after the second time I contacted them to tell them that I did not want to do the program I was told that they have a board of people that know what is on the test and this is designed to enable me to pass a test I wanted to take classes and be able to speak to an instructor and ask questions and have discussion with other classmates and take tests that test my knowledge not take a quiz and then it give me the answers After finding out that Excelsior College is not in partnership with The College Network I again tried to get out of the contract and they told me again that the only way to get out was to transfer my credits was to give them to a family m
