Parent Plus Student Loan
deferthis April 23, 2009
Dependant daughter needed another loan to attend college in PA and asked me to apply for the Parent Plus Loan it sounded like a great ideal at the time, but turned into the worst nightmare I ever had and I know my daughter has other outstanding loans with these people and that scares me! They calim to have authority by the federal law but I think they are loan sharks in disguise. When we applied for the loan the one of the terms and conditions was that as lond as the dependent child was in school at least part time it could be defered. So we... read full review »

Stratford Career Institute
Fernando April 22, 2009
I recently completed an online high school diploma course from Stratford Career Institute.I tried to enroll for school or this fall and the school said that the diploma was not accredited and could not be accepted. Stratford claims that it is a career diploma only and there web site states its a "HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA". I had sent them money over the past 5 or 6 months, and after I mailed out a $300.00 dollar money order I put a stop on it.Its false advertising and I want my money back and I dont want the diploma because it wont be good for anything. read full review »

San-Ford Brown College
Tony April 21, 2009
I attend San-Ford Brown, from what I have heard, from Instructors, I guess the time has come, for people to take a stand. Mark Z. has been repeatedly, making sexual remarks to female workers, bragging about his swinging marriage, and went to far when he started making racial remarks, also telling, one female, she cant use the computer because she is Jewish. Then laughs and says I am just kidding. Mark Z. had a suit filled against him and the school, last year after he fired a Teacher, for being 15 minutes late. She sued because he really fired her for being over weight. She received $100, 000. read full review »

Music Conservatory of Frisco, Texas
Dissappointed Customer April 20, 2009
When your child is physically unable to play an instrument for several months due to an unexpected surgery to repair severed nerves and tendons in his hand, they require that you pay for lessons for those months anyway. They have no exceptions to their policy, and say it is "just business". Business policies should include doing what is right and showing compassion for the children they teach. read full review »

So doctor you come here to work. You can not practice clinical medicine, with patients, unless you pass the mother of all tests USMLE put out by the ECFMG. Its intent is to keep you from practice.

The product was returned and the company accepted and confirmed the return. They continued to bill my credit card to the point I had to cancell the card. They do not have a web site and when I call they will only take orders and have no one to resolve the matter.

The 'most innovative, informative, and interactive on-line SAT/ACT tutoring program in the industry today!' consisted of a few sample questions and a grand total of about 20Meg of program *and* data on 2 CDs. The enclosed letter says the money back guarantee doesn't include the shipping, but I am going to dispute the entire amount since it's not even close to what was advertised.

If you are considering spending thousands of dollars on sailing lessons; look at the other school in San Carlos. If you choose the San Carlos Sailing School, you will not be treated to sailing lessons but rather to intense personal degradation and be placed in an extremely hostile environment. The instructor has little interest in teaching sailing skills and a good deal of interest in developing your supposedly woefully inadequate personal character. My wife and I ( who are in our mid-fifties) chose San Carlos Sailing Adventures and got... read full review »
