LIES ABOUT COSTS
After non stop solicitation from a Keiser Admissions counselor I had seen in Oct 2003 about my college options I attended Keiser University in 2004 for three months, from March 4th till approx May 27th of 2004, I had held off because, (even though I wanted too really bad) I didn’t have a stable job or even a secure and stable place to live but that didn’t keep the admissions counselor from calling me and pushing me to come in and start school in March of 2004. Finally I came in to enroll, at that time I was told again by the Keiser Admissions Counselor, that I would get a computer with my class and it was included in my tuition and would be paid for/covered. There was no computer amount listed on the Estimated Tuition schedule and/or the promissory note. I know this cause I got a copy in 2005. I had to leave school three months later, I felt horrible that I had to leave but I had no choice. I didn’t know how to leave, I had never signed a education promissory note before, never read one and wasn’t educated in how. In 2005 I got collection notices, stating I owe Keiser money. (I didn’t know I had a loan with Keiser) so I had to dig into it and contacted Keiser University. Keiser claimed I signed a document, (which I don’t remember doing) stating and it was three months after starting school, that if I didn’t graduate I would have to return the computer or pay $1500. I asked for a copy of this letter and it was, “ Not Dated” by me, next to my copied, signature, but by a rep of Keiser University and three months after I started school, and around the time I left Keiser University. I don’t think I was even in attendance the date of the computer picked up or the date of the letter signed. After contacting Keiser, and finding that the ombudsman is basically an employee, (which is a conflict of interest) I will not file a grievance with Keiser because I feel it’s a waste of my time. I do not believe I would get a fair trial.
