I was scammed by UoP as well

I unfortunately fell prey to the UoP scamas well. I have been an enrolled student since dec last year, and I thought everything was going fine. Then i got a call from an "financial advisor" aka scam artist.
She informed me that the money I was supposed to get for my student loan was considerably lower that was expected, and that I would have to pay for my classes out of pocket. I forgot to mention that I am A vetran and was receiving the Gi bill as well as financial aid.
Long story short, and it sounds like everyone elses story, is that I am now forced to withdrawl from the school because I cannot pay the out of pocket costs. I also am being told that I will have to pay out of pocket for my first class, which the student loan has already paid for. When I asked why since the class was paid for, I was told because UoP have to refund the money to my Lender. This was never discussed with me With the enrollment counselor.
When I contacted my lender, I was told that I had gotten two loans. I was only aware of the one. I was also informed by my lender that they sent $2400 to UoP for my first class and UoP returned It. My lender then sent them $1800 and UoP kept it. UoP has not explained why.
Uop has not explained anything to me as to what went wrong and where. They just told me there was a problem and the only solution the school offered was to take a leave of absence. I see now they did that because that way they would still get their money because i was still enrolled in the school, though not taking any classes.
Speaking of classes, those are a joke too, but i will save that for another post. The whole University of Phoenix experience is a rip off and I would Not recommend UoP to anyone. There may be some good, oblivious people at UoP. To them I say you better wake up and look at how the people around you are doing business. There are more important things in life than a fat pay check through a shady practice.
