    I signed my agreement on 09/27/2022 and after reviewing my financial situation could not afford program. I called my seller back on 09/28/22 and explained my situation and he was sorry to hear that and said he would cancel this. I'm getting sued by this company ****************** . *** on medical leave and my doctor refuses to allow me to work

    I feel played. From the very beginning I informed the recruiter that I need my monthly payments as low as possible. I was told to call in 2 weeks to get it it changed. Not realizing that after 2 weeks, I wouldnt be able to change my mind about the program! When I finally got in touch with my recruiter, I was told that a request had been put in with ******************. But when I called them myself, they said they never received it! So I called, left messages, and even emails with no reply! So I called the other day to withdraw from the courses only to find out that I cant! And now after almost 2 months the plan is changed, but I no longer want to continue. I dont want a refund or anything, I really just want out of this.

    This company sells a program based on deceit. They advertise 24/7 web support, appointments with personal tutors, live chat and more. I spent the day exhausting all of those resources to have my "support" person finally call me and gaslight me. Literally tried to tell me that I was not on the program for an hour this morning and it was my fault that she had no record of me finishing the entire module and taking a test. She is paid to gaslight people. This program is a scam. It's that simple and it's that complicated. My job coach recommended this program to me which is why I agreed to it. Who wants to enroll in an online course that promises support only to be left discouraged, frustrated, disappointed, and then be told it's your fault?

    I was lied to and told this was an accredited school. They have taken my school program away after missing 2 payments due to financial hardships that I told them about. They've threatened to take my program away from me numerous times and I want a refund or to leave the contract. I have wasted 8 months on this program to be in a bad situation still. They don't help you at all and are nearly impossible to contact. They told me I wasn't able to get financial services anymore after they charged the wrong card and told me it was my fault that it happened.

    Dear learner, CareerStep is a training institution that's programs lead to a national certification. Once you finish the program and score 85% on the final exam we give you a voucher to sit for the national exam. It looks like you signed up for our outpatient coding program in December of 2021. At that time you agreed to a 24-month payment plan to pay for your program. The terms of that plan have not been met. If you are not aware of what needs to be done we would be happy to talk to you about it. Mon-Fri 7:00 am - 10:00 pm MST; Sat 8:00 am - 5 pm MST we can be reached at ************ or send us an email at **************************

    Started the course this August and was told I am going to receive my materials on Tuesday. And later finds out that I will be receiving my materials when I completed my course. The advisor told me that I will get all the help I needed and since I am a visual learner, I am expecting there are some video lectures in it and it's all reading. I am about to reach that 14 days to get a refund, I spoke to the advisor and keep giving me a hard time cancelling the program. He even hangup on me. I don't know what kind of program would do this.
