I went to Penn FosterIt was a great school at first but then I had health issues and had to take time off from workI contacted the school to ask if I could put it on hold for a couple weeks and got no responseThey ended up cancelling my account and charged me full tuition, after I had just started the programNow I am getting bills that are higher than the last and they sent it to collectionsI just seen that they are messing up my credit score and it's stopping me from buying my homeI was considering on going back to the school but after what I have found out I think not
My daughter is a senior in high school, she is having trouble because the staff does not careMy daughter went to traditional school for years, a pre- evaluation was done so she could take the classes that were required for her final year with Penn FosterMy daughter's old school sent her official transcripts twice to Penn Foster, and we sent a copy as wellHowever, when my daughter or I call, one staff member says one thing and the other says something else"We didn't receive it" says one"Yeah we got them, but you sent them so they're not considered official.." says another"It didn't have a signature or official sticker" says the otherI don't know what to believe but my daughter needs her Penn Foster transcripts for college applications and NO ONE cares
I needed to find a distance learning veterinary technician program, after much consideration due to my financial situation, I decided to look into Penn Foster's vet tech programI inquired online via chat and then was encouraged to call the toll free number for more informationI expected to receive information regarding the program and I was transferred to several different phone representatives that kept asking me for my credit card number and agreeing with everything I said, and praised the program encouraging me to enroll, offering discounts on feesI submitted to the sales pressure, feeling a bit uncomfortable in my gut but decided to give the college the benefit of the doubtUpon enrollment I found myself without much guidance through the program when I asked for assistance with a technical issue (something they should be concerned over since the program is a distance learning experience) and never received any help for my technical issue onlineI had to learn about the prog
I ordered to have my previous transcripts from the college sent to a new college I am transferring toI was informed that I could transfer the transcripts for a program that I had completed but the program I had been currently enrolled in was not completed (the current semester was not successfully paid for and sent to collections)Due to it being at collections, none of the semesters I had previously completed, including the semesters already paid in full and completed, could be transferred to my new college
I uninrolled over the phone just days after signing up, because of issues was getting hold of them for classesFrom that point on they made it very hard to stop payment and to stop spam emailsThings like dead phone number to call and trying to force you to go to a web portal that doesnt workNow I get a email saying they are take money out of my account almost a month after I uninrolled
I've paid my balance and Penn foster said they'll send my diploma ASAPIt's been almost a month and I've yet recived my diplomaI contacted the school two weeks ago and I've still not recived it
I cancelled business with Penn Foster on January 19, I was told I am due a full refundHowever, for some reason they would not refund it directly to my checking account, where they had been directly withdrawing itI was told it could be up to weeks to get the check!!! First they told me that it was because they cut checks in batches at the end of the monthThen they tell me it was not cut until the 13th of FebruaryNow they say it can take up to weeks to get to me in the mailDo we use the same postal service? From Pennsylvania to Tennesse does not weeks takeI see absolutely NO reason for them to have not refunded directly to my account that they so handily debitedI have spend a lot of time on hold trying to track this downVery shoddy accounting practicesI have still not received the check, it is February 23rd at this writing
I registered for the Medical Billing and Coding certificate course in February I paid a registration fee, and admin fee and monthly fees for about 7-months
Due to scheduling issues I wasn't making progress on the course, so I wanted to try a different course
I called to inquire about possibly switching to a different course instead of withdrawing
I spoke to people when inquiring and they both informed me that the majority of the money that I'd paid in monthly tuition of the Medical Billing class was lost, but that I would have that I could have refunded or moved to my new course After that it was explained that I would just continue paying the $a month and that was that
I called on 10/to withdraw all together because I do not have the time to put into this at this time A payment was debited from my account on 9/I asked about getting a refund for that payment
