Ok this is just plain wrong, when I joined penn foster they told me that if I was unsatisfied or for any reason needed to quit that I would be able to cancel my hs courses... Well I ran into some personal trouble and can't afford them so I told them, still nothing has happened, I sent in an email saying that I wanted to cancel my courses, still nothing... I'm not paying for something from a company that lies. They sent my bill to an "outside agency" I can't do anything to access my account. Not even the head of penn foster can or so they say...

So what am I going to do?... I need to cancel my courses from this cheating pathetic company that is cheating people out of money... Btu I don't really know how... Can somebody help me?

I am going through the same thing yes it is wrong and they should be paying us not us paying them after the way they've treated us, the only thing you can do right now is file complaints against them with the bbb and then fight it out stand firm with your choice to, no matter how many threats they may give you

Hello,

I apologize for any inconvenience you might have had, and I believe this can be sorted out. Can you e-mail me at adam.mcilwee@pennfoster.edu with your Student ID so we can get any issues straightened out?

Thank you, and once I again, I do apologize.
