    I enrolled at the Bellus academy on Jul 5th, 2022. The school was nothing like it was advertised to be. As per the contract agreement I signed, I had 7 business days from the start of class to dis-enroll from the program and receive a full refund. I paid for my kit completely out of pocket. I dis-enrolled from the program on Jul 11, 2022 (4 business days). They told me when I signed the paperwork for dis-enrollment that I would receive a full refund of the amount I paid between **** business days. It has now been 12 business days. I have emailed them twice and called them once in regards to this with no response. In addition to that, I was using veteran GI **** benefits for this program. They certified my and sent my documents over to the VA AFTER I had already dis-enrolled for the program, which is FRAUD. I would like my refund back for the kit I paid out of pocket (and never even received my kit) and for them to stop lying to individuals about what their program offers and lying to the VA about how many hours were attended just so they can get more money. This whole business is a complete SCAM and it's not a shock based on their score on BBB.
