I attended PIMA's dental studies in Denver, Co and graduated in November. Payment was expected IN FULL before classes started and I paid what I was asked for IN FULL on my credit card. I received a receipt and that was that.
Three months after I graduated, I get a call from a Brian Shmidt saying that there had been an 'error' and that I owe an additional $35. Although this is not a huge amount, the fact that I had already satisfied the schools financial requirements to be a student, HAVE the ORIGINAL PAPERWORK stating what was to be paid by me and that I had "PAID IN FULL" and that I get a phone call... Not a letter explaining what happened and how this works out, really has me suspicious.
It gets better... I never called this guy back because it seemed silly and I figured it was a mistake anyway. This evening I get an email from him stating that he wants to "make sure I'm aware of how not paying can effect my credit status". The email goes on to basically threaten me!
I contacted an attorney friend in Boston and she laughed about it but suggested that I get in touch with their legal department because I have all documentation stating that the fee has been paid in full. She also said it sounds 'funny' and that I should contact higher administrators at PIMA concerning this. However, as you can see, the website provides no way to get in touch with such people.
I would really appreciate feedback about this and would very much like to know if anyone else is being swindled!
Thanks for reading~
