I have been taking online courses through Penn Foster since June Everything has been fine up and until this pointI need to find an Extership site in order to get a code to complete the NAVTA Examination and receive my Career DiplomaI have called all the area Veterinarians, including the VCA hospital which Penn Foster stated were affiliated partnersI cannot secure an externship site
When I called to speak with a student adviser/instructor I was told that they couldn't and wouldn't help me find a site that works with externsThey have taken almost $from me for this course that I cannot finish since I can't fulfill their requirements
I have found one site which was willing to work with me, but I would not always be directly supervised by a licensed Vet or Technician and Penn Foster declined the siteThis was the only site willing to give me a chance, and Penn Foster shot it down and is unwilling to work with me AT ALL!
The State of Connecticut does not requ
This company has submitted an amount to *** for $They stated I opened this account in November of I have nothing to do with this company and They must remove this from my record at ***
I never went to this college nor did I ever agree to attend this schoolI have had this derogatory mark on my credit and it is jeopardizing my chances of getting a home for my kids to live in
I contacted the creditor multiple times and they treated me like a criminal on the phone and threatened me that I would be put in jail for this debt
I refuse to pay this claimed debt because I never attended this school and have never spent any time in Pennsylvania nor did I agree to any contractThe first time I contacted the creditor I was told to write a notarized letter and send it to them which I did do and got no response
Thank you for your time
PENN FOSTER is a fake for profit college, I have never attended that school or give them my social security numberThey have fraudulently saying I owe them over $which I have never attended beforeThis company NOT a school should be shut down
I believed it was June/July that I purchased the dressing making course from Penn Foster I took three modules and decided it was not for me and asked to cancel class and requested a refund for remainder of course I was advised the only way I could get a refund was it would go back onto card I used Due to financial difficulty, I filed for bankruptcy which included the credit card I don't know the credit card or the senders address and was advised that
without a letter stating that account as closed they could do nothing for me I asked if I could have the remainder of the course I was advised the case was closed and I could not I lived in South Jersey so it is not convenient to travel to Scranton to file a civil case they wait for a court date and return which would be a financial hardship for me
Absolutely horribleI paid in full for the medical and billing programOnce you pay the student services dosent careI was struggling with programPaid extensionI then tried to switch to another program and instead of helping me they canceled my student accountSo they canceled my student account so I can't finish my programThis place should be shut downThey should teach a lesson on ethicsI feel cheated out of money with nothing to show for itYou are better off checking out books in libraryI didn't receive text books that I paid forThere is no management obviouslyHorribly runThey were only helpful and nice when I was paying for the program
I purchased the Penn foster high school program and I have it 60% completed so was calling the school that I was going to attend and found out that Penn foster is not accredited programthat I wasted a year out of my life and money to pay for this program that's not even accreditedI am very upset and Penn foster told me that is was an accredited schooling program when its not
It says on their website if cancelled within days 100% money back guaranteeI canceled a vet tech course within the days and now they say I owe over $for cancellingI paid them over $to enroll so they need to pay me the money back
Also I was in a bachelors course which was on autopay and was current never latethat is a college coursethen my job wanted me to have a medical billing and coding cert so I paid in full for the certificatetwo completely different programsthey took my money and didn't let me into the coursethey said I needed to pay more money on my bachelors firstI was current on my bachelors and they agreed but they said I had to pay even more money before I could access the course I ALREADY PAID IN FULL FOR!
Signed up last yearMade my first months payment and just as soon as I attempted to take a class I got confused with the interface and every time I tried to call, no one would get back to meAnother issue I had that discouraged me was the fact they told me I would be able to graduate within a year but my account said the fastest I could graduate was 2021! So advertisementA month went by and I had surgery, a second one to follow in another few months so I tried getting in contact with them again to just have my account cancelled because I had medical bills which I didn’t think would be a problem since I never did a single class or a single assignment
Nothing
Then they sent the full tuition to collection and now my credit score is a disaster!
They never got back to me to let me cancel and they completely lied about the soonest date I’d be able to graduate
I was double charged for my monthly payment I tried to make my payment online through their website, like I have done since day one Their system told me the charge was declined, but I knew the money were there in my account So I tried using ***, and the payment went through Today I find out that I was actually charged both times So their system lied to me when it said the charge was declined I contacted them, but all they wanted to do is argue with me instead of fixing the problem and issuing me a credit for the extra charge I would fire one of my employees if they argued with a client the way I was done today
Most of my credits didn't transfer and the lady that reviewed my profile was extremely hostile and rude like if she was annoyed to talk to me, always talking on a derogatory manner, Keyla was her nameLets not mention the extreme hold times before you get to talk to someoneIt is very sad to realize that at the end this is nothing but a profit organizationLittle to no help was given to meNot Cool Penn Foster you definitely failed at customer service
Before I agreed to this program I confirmed with the representative at Penn foster that the certificate program they were offering was accepted in Wisconsin as a valid certificateTo my findings after purchasing I talked to management in a few local gyms and all facilities stated that it was not valid and that I would have to seek extra educational courses if I wanted to train at their facilitiesHence the program I purchased was a cpt (certified personal training course)I was lied to and when I confronted the company with my complaints they persisted I pay the remainder of the courseIt now has been affecting my credit for I don't know how many years
I canceled the program cause I couldn’t afford it and now they are saying I owe money even though I don’tI paid what I needed to and somehow I oweAnd I tried calling them but no one is answering so at this point it’s gonna become a law suit
I signed up for a class in Did a pre-qualifying testFAILED! They put account on all of my credit reports, last year they removed them from all Now they are telling me they are going to be putting the account back on my reports

I signed up with Penn Foster for a paralegal certificate, when I called the school prior to signing up I was told that they were and accredited college and that I would be able to take the state testing for CP/CLAThis is untrue Penn Foster is not accredited and taking their "online" classes would not allow me to take the test because it does not meet the standard requirements I was also told that it was an online class and that you could work at your own pace, this too was false, I was trying complete an assignment and asked the teacher how I was supposed to turn in the assignment, at that time the teacher informed me that I would need to mail in the assignment through a postal serviceI then called to removed from the school on the account that I was mislead and they refusedI cancelled my automatic payments and no longer completed any material in this schoolPenn Foster has the audacity to place a collections on my credit reportI would imagine they are in need of all the mon
