Taught for this company for more than a year, never had a problem until now. I was always highly regarded as a teacher and had a high student retention rate. I had a lot of students through this company and had no problems getting paid. All of a sudden, starting maybe at the end of August, the company reps began to get very nasty via email. I have never met my boss, no one will say who the head of the company actually is and the few names we do get - no one will give their last name. I have one student who paid $100 for a tennis lesson and never got it, nor a refund. I, along with my father have tried to contact this business regarding witholding my pay and all we get is nasty responses. This is one email we got today:
"We received another call from (name witheld) today, 10/16/09. We warned you against third party contact as a violation of our CO policy. We have now filed an in and out of state police report for harassment, and are obtaining a restraining order against (name witheld) relative to phone calls and emails. Sent via BlackBerry by ATT"
All my father was trying to do was find out where my paycheck is. (It is about 3 weeks late). I finally got an answer out of them saying it was mailed on Oct. 2nd, but I never received it. They were going to reissue a check on October 14th, still hasn't been received. Given it's only been a few days, I don't believe I will ever see the last of the money they owe me.
I have every email saved I ever sent them as well as what they have sent me. These people are crooks just like AMADEUS HOME MUSIC SCHOOL (if you remember hearing about that scam).
I strongly advise against signing your child up for anything with these crooks. It's been a horrible, emotionally harrowing experience for me and my family dealing with these people. If you press them on the issues, they threaten you with police and restraining orders.
