My wife a year ago signed up for their cosmetology courses, and they said that if she didn't like it, she could return the coursework in two weeks and we wouldn't be charged anything. Well, first off, she didn't like it and when we tried to return it, they said our two weeks was up because it took THREE weeks for the materials to get here. I called an administrator and this rude lady tried telling me that they never got their coursework back, so I called again a day later and complained and they said they got the coursework back and that it was supposedly resolved.
About a month later I get a bill from these guys demanding an amount in the range of $400, and I just tossed it thinking it was resolved and maybe this was just a late bill. Then yesterday I get a call from a Mr. Rowe saying that Stratford filed a lawsuit against my wife for the amount of $192 $1000's in court and lawyer fees, and that they would be sending a Boone county Sheriff to serve me with court papers if I didn't settle out for $100. Just to get these punks off my back I settled for the $100, because who knows what this demonistic company would do in a lawsuit. They are the epitome of unethical business and every fake and worthless "School" out there should be shut down. Stratford Career Insititute is a vile, soulless company out the get your money on the pretense that they will help your education. Thay are taking advantage of underpriveleged people who are making genuine efforts to improve their lives and crushing their dreams under fine print, legal jargon, and claims of finding better jobs through their so-called "classes."
I currently am petitioning the Governor of Illinois to illegalize uncredited schools from offering home study classes and education.
