Penn Foster

I have repeatedly submitted requests to unsubscribe my email address ([protected]@gmail.com) from Penn Foster online school. Initially I wanted information for an individual I was assisting, but they have gone with another school. Therefore, I am no longer interested in receiving their communications. I click on the unsubscribe button believing this will remove my email address, but it does not and I continue to receive unwanted emails. Each time I receive an email, I update my email preferences on the Penn Foster website and I continue to receive emails. At this time, the emails are now considered to be harassing. I no longer want to receive communications from Penn Foster and I would like my email address removed from their list serv, database, etc.

On or about 1/26/21 I enrolled for online program mechanic program. I have since traveled outside of the country and do not my return, and was unable to attend the classes, I have not participated in any activities or classes or anything. I was charged a $75 amount on 02/25/21 according to my bank documents. I immediately put a cancellation so I wouldn't be charged any more money and was promised a refund from a rep at the school. Then later received an email stating I owed an amount of $149 which was split into two charges one being $75 and the other remaining amount is $74, now I was unaware of these charges being I had to ask for my contract to read it was never provided for me. The sign up process only provides a box to check off that you agree to the terms there is enrollment terms provided before signing.

Below is an example of the "teaching" at Penn Foster Teachers are just graders who have no knowledge of the lessons they are grading. Some lessons have not been updated in years. Many of the programs have some of the same "filler" material that has nothing to do with what you're studying. This is what I said about my grade: RE: grading Karen Huber [protected]-028005 I believe I completed the assignment as asked. Your comment shows that you are unaware of what was asked in the assignment. This is what the "grader" said: Comment [WU3]: The assignment asks for the first paragraph to focus on the solution to the problem. The second paragraph should focus on the benefits of the solution. This is what the actual assignment said: Section 1 • Facts and figures that define the problem (the cause) • Details that show the impact of the problem (effects) on Jack, Ruth, and the company Section 2 • The steps needed to change the situation • Reason to implement each step, including the benefits to your employees, your supervisor, and the company • Information about your role in the change could not upload .pdf files for illustration This school really needs to get its act together. I didn't write a remarkable PhD thesis for the project, but I did follow instructions. Thank you for your help.

Do not enroll at Penn Foster school they will scam your money and if you complaint put a summons on you for no reason by a Judge by the name of Judge Paul J Ware whom thinks he is Gods gift to humanity that no one should be allowed to touch him. He is not a very good judge and is a cheater and a liar and should not ever be a judge because he abuses the students at Penn Foster and collects money and charges them for crimes they did not commit. So beware of Penn Foster School. Do your home and by their own State Police's administrative department where I filed a formal complaint against this school and the Judge Paul J Ware out of Dunmore PA who thinks he is God and can play God on any ones life is a big fraud and probably that Penn Foster has set up to do their dirty work to miss use his power to scam and threaten many innocent victims like myself for no reason to extort money from them. I suspect that is the set up with Penn Foster and this Judge Paul J Ware to extort from out of state students thinking because they don't no the PA state laws that they could attack many out of state students fraudulently. So if anyone has experienced this type of criminal activity while enrolled at Penn Foster do not hesitate to file a complaint. And for those of you thinking about going to Penn Foster these people are criminal do not ever bother to even go to their school a very bad choice!

Penn foster school a big scam! Do not attend! Russell day education chairman is a bad director and also their student serive is bad and gives bad and abusive service revokes students in the middle of the course for no reason even when the student are making a grade of 3.0 average and accuses students for violations that they never did! Then they try to extort the rest of the money $640.00 and make you pay without finishing your classes! They have bad review from many other students! They will tell you also not to file a complaint against them even if you were wronged by them! That is against the law to intimidate some because they filed a ligitamate complaint against penn foster and the alleged people that did the wrong! Human relation commission of harrisbur, pa informed me that you most certainly have every right to file a complaintst against a business especially if you know you were definetely wronged in my case I know I was wrong by penn foster and their staff and their education department! But I will let the human commission and the better business bureau handle my claim! Anyone thinking of going to this school don"t! A very big mistake! And those that are their taking classes beware of russell day the bad education director chairman whom is a big jerk and big con man! And no respect for the students! But he and penn foster I can make sure will not get away with what they did! I want all of my personal information removed immediately! And the revoked status or I will give this school such a bad name that penn foster will loose their business and shut down in no time! Go to ashworth much better school and service is excellent! Penn foster is nothing but a big scam!

I am finished with all the classes in the Veterinary Technician Program. I only have a final clinical left to finish. Keep in mind, I could of finished this program in two years with ALL the hard work and hours I put in! My tuition is paid in full, and they have dragged it on for four years. The staff is rudem and they complain constantly about having to deal with Dr. Margi the head of the Vet Tech program. She is rude disrespectful and when I try to speak to some sort of deans office, they se nd me somewhere, yet it does not so anything, almost as if it does not exist. I have had my paperwork sent back 8 times, YES 8 times for my final practical for the most minimal things. Now ironically they are saying my Dr (my supervisors signature does not match? For REAL! ) Funny thi9ng is in 8 days they want me to pay a tuition extension, funny how they bringing this up. Then whe n I finally m ake some calls and complain after 4 years, they threaten to have me under a student code of conduct, REALLY? Because Dr. Margi seems to be the one who needs to be fired and reported to the AVMA! I google her name, and find out hundreds of students even thousands are receiving the same exact, rude, offending, harrasing e-mails as me, word for word. Like she just hits the send button to most of the students. Does anyone ever graduate from this program? I have done everything they told me, yet they always find something wrong, milk the money tree, well I am ot standing for it, I will file a lwsuit, anyone wishing to join me to fight for the education they deserve and paid for for a class action suit, please contact me. I will get the degree I earned, I will go to every t.v. station, my attorney, and the AVMA. Signed Furious!

I made a payment online with the card u.s. bank gave me it contained my routing and savings account number. I made a payment on 01/27/2008. In February I reviewed my savings account and the money was never taken out. The payment was posted on 01/28/2008 the email sent to me stated my payment was posted so I reviewed the card number on my savings account and my bank statement and it did not match. I than called Portland oregon U.S. bank center and they stated they sold that number to someone. this was on a Saturday 02/02/2008 I learned of this. I than dropped in person to U.S. bank Sunday and showed them the card they gave me and the bank statement and asked them what do I have to do to correct this I also took 60.00 out of the savings account. They said the account number was sold meaning my information including my wife who is a foreign citizen was sold.

They told me there is nothing they can do so I got 2 money orders for 29.00 payment tuition and sent them a letter asking Penn Foster how come you posted payments when no money was taken out? In my exp. with other dishonest companies they like to sell your account # taking money and keeping you in debt collections two for the price of one. By the way my next payment is not due till 02/10/2009. I paid 1 year in advance quiet a little scam acting like you are not getting paid and turn it over to debt collectors at the same time receiving payments!
