| ITT Tech Signed up for classes, only to be taken to collections for a |

ITT Tech is nothing but a big scam and greedy for money. I signed up for classes in mid December right after the start of their
winter semester which started December 6th. I had my meeting on December
16th because I figuered ITT tech would be good for me, a smaller school
with a smaller, more hands on learning environment and I had a 3 hour
meeting with my counselor about setting everything up for the upcoming
semester. After talking with my counselor I was still able to sign up
for the Winter 2010-2011 semester During my first meeting with my counselor I had been advised to go ahead
and sit in on a 9a-12pm Saturday class to see how the class functions
and it would work and I was told that I would even be given books so
that I could use them to go sit in on my class. During our meeting I
VERY WELL remember that there was no topic regarding any sort of payment
for sitting in on that "trial class" even though I was already
registered. I signed the enrollment agreement and I saw the break down cost for the
SEMESTER(which equated to $4, 768) and was then given my books by my
counselor and on my way. A few days later I went and sat in on that
Saturday class and I thought it was nothing new and after talking it
over I decided that I could not follow through with ITT Tech. I told my counselor that I had to withdraw from the program due to other
circumstances, she didnt care much because Im sure she already got her
comission. This all happened within the last two weeks of December . She then told me that I had to return the books and that was that. I
never contacted her again, nor returned the books. Fast forward to a
month later(Yesterday Feb 4th). I recieved a call from a collections agency stating that I owed ITT Tech
$1, 136. I called ITT yesterday and of course no one was there so I
called the collection agency and asked what the charge was for(I thought
it was for the textbooks I havent returned yet). The guy looked it up
on the computer and told me that it was for "tuition" because if it were
for books it would of said something along the lines of accounts
recievables. This morning I called ITT Tech back and spoke to a woman in the
financial department about this and told her that I didnt understand why
I was being billed $1, 136 for a "trial class" that I was advised to
sit in. It turns out my counselor never mentioned anything about that $1, 136
when we went over the enrollment agreement, she just told me that I
could go sit in on the class and then go from there. There was never
once any mention about any sort of payment for that class The woman on the phone wasn't very helpful either because I told her
that I was never given any warning about this at all, but I told her I
did sign the enrollment agreement and was aware of the cost broken down
for the SEMESTER, not for that one class that they are charging me for She gave me the run around about the campus director not being there
untill Monday and that she'd let her know and if she knew anything shed
call me back. She also told me that for me to be able to sit in that
Saturday class I had to sign the enrollment agreement and another sheet
of paper, which I did, but my counselor never mentioned anything, NOT
ONCE about it affecting anything towards the "balance owed"($1, 136) Now Its time to lawyer up because this is sickening and Im not going to
let it get on my credit because as of yesterday I have 30 days to
resolve this.
