Initially when I signed up for the program.intended on completing the LVN to RN Program. After 30 days I several large boxes with binders. Which they call study materials. Shortly after that my sister was diagnosed with aggressive Breast Cancer. I became responsible for my sister's care, financially and physically.
Taking her to and from Chemotherapy, dealing with her illness and inability to tolerate the Chemo, paying her bills and mine. I am her sole support. I continued making payments to protect my credit. The payments were being deducted from my Checking Account. I called The College Network to explain my situation. And I was told to write a letter to Bernard Schraeder in Las Vegas Nevada.
I did as I was instructed. I even submitted my siter's medical records and treatment plan. Which is in violation of HIPPA Regulations. I asked Mr Schrader if he would show special consideration to my situation and allow me to cancel my contract. After about a month or so I received a letter from Mr Schrader stating that all learning materials have been sent to me and i am therefore required to continue making payments. And that I could contact Barbara Wiggins @ (800) 634-1443.
I continued to call Mr Schrader, he never returned any of my calls. I returned all of the binders. Stopped the payments. I called Ms Wiggins and was told the the same thing. I was responsible for making payments and I have to have a bank acct. Now I am receiving calls from Corporate America (the lender). Not only am I not satisfied with the learning materials, my sister has a battle to fight and she needs me there for her.
I explained this to Mr Schraeder and Ms Wiggins. So basically I am paying for something that I am not satisfied with and fighting a battle with my sister. The program is Bogus and the learning materials suck. Not only that, you have to pay each time you take a test. The contract is designed for The College Network to make money. They have been paid by the lender. And refuse to send the money back to the lender under no circumstance. My back is against the wall.
