I applied for an internship on monster.com with CTEC ACADEMY; after reviewing their website, and not finding negative info.
Shortly afterward, was contacted by a Tonya Maden at 770.422.1102. Who in formed me that I was in the final stages to be considered for an internship targeting displaced or industry impacted workers, costing $14,000, and would be placed in a job by a sponsoring company. I was asked a series of questions about my current employment, and skill sets. I informed them that I was working, doing only part time/contract work and available. If approved, would be receiving an email to that fact, if not, call back. A week later, I had not received an email.
About ten days later, I received a letter from SLM Financial Corporation (Sterling Bank), claiming I was denied a credit application based on Temporary or irregular employment, and I could apply in twenty days with a co-borrower, and that their decision was based on Experian credit service's information.
Here's the rub, I never applied for this credit with/through CTEC Academy or anyone else, and can provided my own financing at any time.
I contacted SLM Financial at 888.272.5543, which answers as SallyMae servicing, and are formerly SallyMae the quasi-governmental group, now turned private. I was informed that they (SLM) are not responsible for loan requests. Yet, you can find SLM on ctecacademy's website under financing. I was told if there are problems I should contact the local police or BBB; though there may be jurisdictional issues.
I then reviewed my Credit Report online, SLM Financial Corp, had probed my credit on 06/04, claiming it was a Real Estate Loan.
I looked a bit more in to this, and attempted to speak to ctecacademy, they would not call me back, and BBB has had complaints in the past, yet would not disclose the information.
Since following up on this, I have discovered there are a numbers of websites which have chronicled CTEC Academy's ongoing activities and the inquiries of the public.
I will be following up on this this leads me to believe that CTECT ACADEMY and SLM acted in concert to tap my credit for $15,995.00.
In my opinion CTEC ACADEMY operates comparatively as a scamtrolling for students/enrollment based on credit reports.
