We were offered an opportunity for a casting call from DMG Model Management meeting with S.M. Stephan. This company was grouped with Barbizon Modeling Center. Ms. Stephan ran both companies and had a piggyback system going. She agreed to review our daughter after just a few classes to improve some of our daughters skills and talents. We paid $1100 in payments for tuition for her enrollment with Barbizon with being promised a graduation and fashion show in Dallas. We were contacted by phone that the graduation date was rescheduled and it should be some time in December or January. I never heard from them again and she was to receive her diploma as well plus 1 years worth of review classes from Barbizon. I contacted Stephan today by email and she told me that DMG is no longer in business with Barbizon because it was sold to Barbizon USA out of Tampa FL but she would forward my email to the CEO of the company. Also when we were going through this presentation they mentioned that since this was a school that it would be tax deductible but I found out that is not true. She further mentioned that I'm welcome to bring my daughter to DMG on their open call and they would love to take another look at her.
I'm upset not because she's not with a company but that we were not notified in writing or verbally that this company changed hands and we were provided with all the services we were promised. Graduation in Dallas, Graduation Certificate, & an opportunity to be represented by DMG Model Management upon successful completion of program and paid tuition. We were left in the dark. They took our money, did a few classes and told us not to bother Ms. Stephan that she would contact us for a graduation date. What can I do.
