THE COMPLAINTS IN DETAILS:
DEAR SIR OR MADAM,
I AM WRITTING TO MAKE COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE ABOVE MENTIONED COLLEGE [FISHER COLLEGE]
ON 07/2001 I HAVE ENROLLED AT FISHER COLLEGE IN BOSTON, MASS. AND ON 05/2002 I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE SCHOOL IS OFFERING SUMMER HOUSING TO STUDENTS FOR $300/MONTH.
SO, I WENT TO THE HOUSING OFFICE, AND I HAVE MET WITH, MR. JAG RAMDAS, (THE HOUSING DIRECTOR). AFTER HE HAS CHECKED, AND VERIFIED THAT I AM A STUDENT AT THE COLLEGE. THEN, HE OFFERED ME THE ROOM.
THEN, FEW DAYS LATER, AND AROUND 05/17/2002 HE LEFT THE KEY WITH THE CAMPUS POLICE FOR ME TO PICK UP, WHICH I DID.
ON 05/23/2002 I WAS WORKING AT THE COMPUTER LAB. THEN, UNEXPECTEDLY, THE CAMPUSE POLICE CAME TO ME, AND TOLD ME THAT THE “DIVISION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION” TOLD HIM THAT I AM NOT A STUDENT AT THE COLLEGE ANY LONGER, AND THEY WANT ME TO LEAVE THE CAMPUS IMMEDIATELY.
I HAVE FOUND OUT LATER FROM THE INCIDENT REPORT THAT, MME. DEBORAH SLICES, WAS THE PERSON WHO PROVIDED THE CAMPUS POLICE WITH THIS FALSE INFORMATION. [A COPY OF THE INCEDENT REPORT IS ENCLOSED]
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT, FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, MME. DEBORAH SLICES, DID ASK ME, WHICH COMPUTER LAB I USUALLY WORK AT.
SO, I TOLD HER THE ROOM NUMBER, THEN FEW DAYS LATER [ON THE DAY OF THE INCIDENT], I SAW HER IN MY WAY TO THE COLLEGE, WE SAID GOOD MORNING TO EACH OTHER. THEN, I WENT TO THE COMPUTER LAB. FEW MINUTES LATER, THE CAMPUS POLICE CAME AND ASK ME TO LEAVE.
IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT, MME. DEBORAH SLICES, WAS PLANNING FOR THIS INCIDENT TO HAPPEN, AND IT WAS PREMEDITATED. BECAUSE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT SHE NEEDED TO KNOW FROM ME, WHICH ROOM I USUALLY WORK AT. AT THAT TIME, I HAVE FOUND THAT THE QUESTION WAS REALLY BIZARRE.
OF COURSE, I LEFT WITH THE CAMPUS POLICE TO THE FRONT DESK, AND I TOLD HIM THAT I HAVE BEEN A STUDENT HERE SINCE 07/2001, AND I STILL A STUDENT, AND I HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED FOR 05/2002 TERM.
I HAVE ALSO HAND DELIVERED MY REGISTERATION TO THE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME. DABNEY LA ROCHELLE, FOR THE MAY 2002 TERM.
IN ADDITION, I AM ALSO RENTING ONE ROOM UPSTAIRS. HE CHECKED, AND HE FOUND OUT THAT I AM REALLY RENTING A ROOM UPSTAIRS.
THEN, WHILE WE WERE TALKING (ME AND THE CAMPUS POLICE) THE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME. DABNEY LA ROCHELLE, WALKED IN, AND I TOLD HER WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT I DO NOT REMEMBER THAT SHE MADE ANY COMMENTS, AND SHE LEFT.
THE NEXT DAY, ON 05/24/2002 IT WAS FRIDAY NIGHT. I WENT TO THE ROOM, BUT I FOUND A LETTER ON THE DOOR FROM, MR. JAG RAMDAS, (THE HOUSING DIRECTOR). INFORMING ME THAT HE HAS JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT I AM NOT A STUDENT AT THE COLLEGE ANY LONGER.
THEREFOR, I HAVE TO PAY A NON-STUDENT RENTAL FEE FOR THE ROOM ON OR BEFOR 05/24/2002; AND THIS FEE IS $1000/MONTH INSTEAD OF THE $300/MONTH THAT HE HAS OFFERED ME, AND I HAVE SIGNED FOR. OF COURSE, AFTER HE HAS VERIFIED THAT I AM INDEED A STUDENT. [A COPY OF HIS LETTER IS ENCLOSED]
PLEASE NOTE THAT, MOST LIKELY THIS LETTER WAS LEFT ON THE DOOR ON 05/23-24/2002, AND THE LOCK WAS CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME, AND HIS NOTICE WAS TO PAY THIS MONEY ON OR BEFOR THE SAME DAY I HAVE RECEIVED THE LETTER.
SO, TECHNICALLY HE DID NOT GIVE ME ANY CHANCE TO PAY, IF I HAVE CHOSEN TO DO SO. THEREFORE, IT WAS VERY CLEAR THAT HIS MAIN INTENTION WAS NOT TO GET ME PAY HIM THE NON-STUFDENT RENATAL FEE, BUT HIS MAIN INTENTION WAS TO JUST REMOVE ME FROM THE ROOM. WHEATHER I PAY OR NOT.
THIS LETTER DID NOT HAVE A DATE ON IT, AND THE LOCK HAS BEEN CHANGED ALREADY. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE ROOM, AND OF COURSE I LEFT THE CAMPUS, BUT MY BELONGINGS WAS OF COURSE INSIDE THE ROOM, AND THE COLLEGE HAS NEVER GIVEN ME BACK. IT SEEMS THAT THEY HAVE JUST THROWN ALL MY BELONGINGS AWAY.
THE FOLLOWING WEEK, I WENT TO THE BOSTON HOUSING COURT, AND I HAVE FILED A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST THE COLLEGE. [UNDER MASS.GENERAL LAW-CHAPTER 186, SECTION 14]
ON 06/07/2002 WAS THE FIRST HEARING, BUT PRIOR TO THE HEARING, I HAVE BEEN OFFERED BY THE CLERK THE OPTION TO HAVE A MEDIATION MEETING FIRST, BETWEEN ME [THE COMPLAINANT], MR. JAG RAMDAS, [THE HOUSING DIRECTOR] AND THE HOUSING COURT MEDIATOR.
I HAVE AGREED, AND THE MEETING WAS HELD BEFOR THE HEARING. DURING THE HEARING, I REMEMBER THAT, MR. JAG RAMDAS, HAS STATED VERY CLEARLY TO THE MEDIATOR THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT [[ WE WANT HIM OUT ]]
IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WHAT HE MEANT WAS THAT HIM, MR. JAG RAMDAS, AND SOME OTHER OFFICIALS AT THE COLLEGE WANT ME[THE COMPLAINANT] OUT OF THE COLLEGE. OF OURSE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHO WANT ME OUT, AND WHY. [A COPY OF THE MEDIATION AGREEMENT IS ENCLOSED].
FOLLOWING THE MEDIATION MEETING WAS THE HEARING, AND THE JUDGE DECISION WAS THAT I HAVE TO PAY THE COLLEGE THROUGH THE COURT $1750, BEFOR NOON ON 06/11/2002
THEN HE WILL ORDER THE COLLEGE TO GIVE ME THE ROOM BACK, BUT IF I DO NOT PAY THIS AMOUNT BY THAT TIME.IN THAT CASE, HE WILL DENY THE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, AND I WILL NOT BE ALLOWED BACK TO THE ROOM.
PLEASE NOTE THAT, THE JUDGE HAS CHARGED ME A NON-STUDENT RENTAL FEE. HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN A STUDENT AT THE COLLEGE SINCE 07/2001.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT, THE COLLEGE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME. DABNEY LA-ROCHELLE, HAS LIED TO THE JUDGE UNDER OATH, AND TOLD HIM THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN MYSELF VOLUNTARILY FROM THE COLLEGE ON 05/04/2002 [WHICH I DID NOT DO](PAGE # 12 FROM THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE HEARING HELD ON 06/07/2002 AT THE BOSTON HOUSING COURT. A COPY IS ENCLOSED)
IN ADDITION, SHE HAS ALSO SUBMITTED THIS MISLEADING INFORMATION TO THE COURT IN WRITING. [A COPY OF HER LETTER IS ENCLOSED]
SHE HAS ALSO FURNISHED THE COURT WITH A COPY OF MY COLLEGE TRANSCRIPT THAT SHOWS THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN COMPLETELY FROM THE COLLEGE ON 05/04/2002. I HAVE NOTICED THAT, THE TRANSCRIPT WAS PRINTED ON 06/07/202 [THE DAY OF THE HEARING]. [A COURT CERTIFIED COPY IS ENCLOSED].
AT THE SAME HEARING, I HAVE FURNISHED THE COURT WITH A COPY OF MY COLLEGE TRANSCRIPT WHICH WAS PRINTED ON 05/13/2002. THIS COPY DOES NOT SHOW THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM THE COLLEGE. [A COURT CERTIFIED COPY IS ENCLOSED].
AT THE SAME HEARING, MME. LA-ROCHELLE, HAS ALSO STATED THAT, ""SHE PERSONALLY WOULD NOT RE-ENROLL, MR. AWAD, BECAUSE HE HAS NO FUNDING"". PLEASE NOTE THAT HER STATEMENT WAS COMPLETELY FALSE, HERE IS WHY.
THE SCHOOL OWES ME MONEY FOR A FEW COURSES, WHICH I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM. BUT, MME. LA-ROCHELLE, HAS REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW, AND THE COLLEGE’S REFUND POLICY, AND SHE HAS DECLINED TO MAKE ANY REFUND OR EVEN A COURSE REPLACEMENT FOR THE COURSES THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM.
THE NEW LAW OF 10/07/2000 REQUIRES THAT, WHEN A STUDENT WITHDRAWS DURING A PERIOD OF ENROLLMENT, THEN THE AMOUNT OF THE STUDENT FINANCIAL AID PROGRAM ASSISTANCE IS DETERMINED BY A SPECIFIC FORMULA.
WHICH IT SAYS THAT IF THE STUDENT RECEIVED LESS ASSISTANCE THAN THE AMOUNT HE HAS EARNED THEN, IN THAT CASE HE WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THOSE ADDITIONAL FUNDS
BASED ON THIS LAW FOR THE FINANCIAL AID REFUND POLICY, I AM SUPPOSE TO RECEIVE A REFUND FOR THOSE COURSES. HOWEVER, THE COLLEGE IS STILL REFUSING TO MAKE ANY REFUND.
THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS, AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT SCHOOLS MUST MEET FOR AN EQUITABLE REFUND POLICY.
HERE IS A LINK ON THE RETURN OF TITLE IV AID REQUIREMENTS.
http://ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/attachments/GEN0403Revised.pdf
MME.DABNEY LA ROCHELLE HAS REFUSED TO REFUND ANY MONEY BACK FOR THE COURSES THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM. SHE HAS ALSO REFUSED TO ALLOW ME TO ENROLL IN ANY OTHER COURSE AS A REPLACEMENT.
THE COLLEGE HAS REJECTED ALL MY REGESTRATIONS FOR THE 05/2002 TERM, AND THE FOLLOWING TERMS AS WELL. [ENCLOSED IS A PROOF OF MY REGISTRATION FOR THE MAY, AND JULY 2002 TERMS, AS WELL AS THE JAN. 2003 TERM]
ACTUALLY, ONE OF THE COURSES THAT I HAVE ENROLLED IN FOR THE 07/08/02 TERM WAS BASIC PROGRAMMING [CS103] ON LINE COURSE. THEREFORE, ON 07/07/02 I HAVE RECEIVED THE WELCOME E-MAIL FROM THE HEAD OF CONTINUING EDUCATION, MME. JANET HARRINGTON, AND ON 07/09/02 I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER WELCOME E-MAIL FROM THE INSTRUCTOR, MR. SHAKER. [A COPY OF THEIR E-MAILS ARE ENCLOSED]
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT, I HAVE PRESENTED A COPY OF THOSE E-MAILS TO THE JUDGE AT THE APPEAL HEARING WHICH WAS HELD ON 07/12/02 AS EVIDENCE THAT I AM INDEED A STUDENT AT FISHER COLLEGE.
ALTHOUGH, THE JUDGE WAS STILL NOT CONVINCED THAT THIS IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO PROOF THAT I AM A FISHER COLLEGE STUDENT. THEREFORE, THE JUDGE DENIED MY APPEAL.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE JUDGE REJECTION TO THOSE E-MAILS AS A PROOF THAT I AM A CURRENT STUDENT AT FISHER COLLEGE WAS REALLY NONCONFORMING.
BECAUSE IF THE WELCOMING E-MAILS THAT WAS SENT TO ME FROM THE PROFESSOR AND THE HEAD OF THE CONTINUING EDUCATION DID NOT CONVINCE THE JUDGE THAT I AM INDEED A STUDENT AT THE COLLEGE. THEN WHAT KIND OF EVIDENCE WILL PROOF TO HIM THAT I AM A STUDENT AT FISHER COLLEGE.
BEFOR THE DAY OF THIS HEARING, I HAD ACCESS TO THE COURSE’S MATERIAL ON LINE. BUT AFTER THE HEARING, I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THE COLLEGE HAS BLOCKED MY ACCESS TO THIS ON LINE COURSE [CS103]. AS A RESULT, I WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE STUDYING THIS COURSE, AND THEY HAVE REJECTED MY ENROLLMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING TERMS AS WELL.
BELOW ARE THE COURSES THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN FROM:
THE FIRST COURSE: WAS THE BASIC PROGRAMING (CS103)09/01 TERM. AS I WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ADVISED BY THE DIVISION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION (DCE) THAT THERE IS A PRE-REQUISITE FOR THE (CS103), WHICH IS THE (HTML COURSE), AND IT MUST BE TAKEN BEFORT STUDYING THE (CS103), BUT THEY DID NOT ADVISE ME AT ALL. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS INACCURATE ACCADEMIC PERFORMANCE.
FOR THAT REASON, IT WAS DIFFECULT TO STUDY THE (CS103) WITHOUT STUDYING THE (HTML COURSE) FIRST; THEREFORE, I HAVE SUBMITTED AN OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FORM.
THE SECOND COURSE: WAS THE ENGLISH WRITTING (EN101) 01/02 TERM. BECAUSE I WAS TAKING TWO MORE OTHER COURSES BESIDE THIS ONE, AND I DID NOT EXPECT THAT THE (EN101) WILL BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR ME TO HANDLE AT THAT TIME. ESPECIALLY, WHILE I WAS TAKING TWO OTHER COURSES AT THE SAME TIME. THEREFORE, I HAVE SUBMITTED AN OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FORM.
THE THIRD COURSE: WAS THE PUBLIC SPEAKING (CM105) 03/02 TERM. WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT I HAD EXCEEDED THE ABSENCE LIMIT, AND THE COLLEGE WAS SUPPOSE TO SEND ME A WARNING LETTER INFORMING ME THAT I AM APPROACHING THE ABSENCE LIMIT, BUT THE COLLEGE DID NOT ACT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR OWN POLICY. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THAT this IS INACCURATE ACCADEMIC PERFORMANCE. [I HAVE ENCLOSED ADDITIONAL DETAILS REGARDING THIS COURSE AT THE END OF THIS COMPLAINT]
THE FOURTH COURSE: WAS ON LINE MARKETING COURSE (MK201) 03/02 TERM, AND I HAVE NEVER LOGGED IN. I HAVE ALSO SUBMITTED AN OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL FORM.
TO VERIFY THIS INFORMATION, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT THE PROFESSOR OF THIS MARKETING COURSE, MRS. KAREN MAYRS, AT 617/236-8800 X 8849 OR BY E-MAIL: [email protected]
HOWEVER, MME. DABNEY LA-ROCHELLE; HAS REFUSED TO REFUND ANY MONEY FOR THE COURSES THAT I HAVE WETHRAWN MYSELF FROM THESE COURSES. ALLOW ME TO STUDY ANY OTHER COURSES AS A REPLACEMENT.
INSTEAD, SHE HAS REJECTED ALL MY REGISTERATIONS FOR THE 05/2002 TERM, AND ALL OF THE FOLLOWING TERMS AS WELL.
ALTHOUGH, I HAVE HAND DELIVERED TO THE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME DABNEY LA ROCHELLE, MY REGISTRATION FOR THE 05/2002 TERM. YET, SHE HAS CLAIMED THAT I HAVE WETHDRAWN MYSELF COMPLETELY FROM THE COLLEGE ON 05/04/2002.
HERE IS A QUESTION, [HOW CAN SHE CLAIM THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN MYSELF COMPLETELY FROM THE COLLEGE?] ALTHOUGH, SHE KNOWS VERY WELL THAT, I HAVE HAND DELIVERED TO HER MY REGISTRATION FOR THE 05/2002 TERM.
IN ADDITION, BASED ON THE COLLEGE CATALOG, WITHDRAWAL FROM THE COLLEGE MUST BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING TO THE VICE PRESIDENT, DR. CHARLES PERKINS, OR THE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME. DABNEY LA-ROCHELLE.
HOWEVER, SHE IS THE SAME PERSON WHO IS CLAIMING THAT I HAVE WITHDRAWN MYSELF COMPLETELY FROM THE COLLEGE ON 05/04/2002. PLEASE NOTE THAT, I DID NOT SUBMITE ANYTHING IN WRITTING TO HER OR ANYBODY TO WITHDRAW MYSELF FROM THE COLLEGE.
AS I HAVE MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THAT, I HAVE REGISTERED FOR THE 07/2002 TERM, BUT WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT BEFORE THE START DATE OF THE TERM, AND ON 06/28/2002; I HAVE RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM THE CAMPUS DIRECTOR, MME. DABNEY LA-ROCHELLE, TELLING ME THAT I HAVE LEFT TWO QUESTIONS IN MY [FAFSA] APPLICATION BLANK, AND I NEED TO COMPLETE THE 2 QUESTIONS. [A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL IS ENCLOSED]
THEN ON 07/10/2002; I HAVE RECEIVED A SECOND E-MAIL FROM, MME.LA-ROCHELLE; TELLING ME THAT MY PRE-REGESTERATION FOR THE 07/2002 TERM IS NOT VALID BECAUSE I HAVE AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE IN MY ACCOUNT. [A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL IS ENCLOSED]
I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS BALANCE IS $1750, AND IT WAS POSTED TO MY STATEMENT ON 07/09/2002. THE COLLEGE HAS POSTED THE $1750 TO MY STATEMENT AS A DEBT THAT I HAVE TO PAY OFF.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT, THE JUDGE DID NOT ISSUE ANY COURT ORDER OR JUDGEMENT TO PAY THE COLLEGE $1750 OR EVEN $1250 -AS THE COLLEGE STATED MISLEADINGLY IN THEIR RESPONSE TO THE “BBB”- AND THE JUDGE MADE THIS CLEAR DURING THE HEARING. (PAGE # 14 FROM THE TRANSCRIPT OF THE HEARING HELD ON 06/07/2002 AT THE BOSTON HOUSING COURT. A COPY IS ENCLOSED).
PLEASE NOTICE THAT, MME. DABNEY LA ROCHELLE DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OUTSTANDING BALANCE IN HER FIRST E-MAIL TO ME DATED 06/28/2002. [A COPY OF THIS E-MAIL IS ENCLOSED]
IN THE CONTRARY, SHE WAS ASKING ME TO FINISH COMPLETING THE “FAFSA” APPLICATION IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE FINANCIAL AID FOR THE 07/2002 TERM.
BUT APPARENTLY THAT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED BETWEEN HER FIRST E-MAIL ON 06/28/2002 AND HER SECOND E-MAIL ON 07/10/2002.
I BELIEVE, WHAT HAPPENED WAS THE FOLLOWING:
ON 07/03/2002 THE HOUSING COURT SENT A NOTICE TO THE COLLEGE NOTIFYING THEM THAT ON 6/14/2002, I HAVE FILED A MOTION TO HAVE THE JUDGE RECONSIDER HIS DECISION FOR CHARGING ME A NON-STUDENT RENTAL FEE. WHILE THE FACT IS THAT I AM INDEED A STUDENT AT THIS COLLEGE. THEREFORE, THE HEARING WILL BE HELD ON 7/12/2002 [A COPY OF THIS MOTION, AND THIS NOTICE ARE ENCLOSED]
PLEASE NOTE THAT, THE JUDGE’S DECISION WAS THAT IF I PAY $1750 BEFOR NOON ON 06/11/02 THEN I CAN GO BACK TO THE ROOM.
THIS AMOUNT OF $1750 REPRESENTS THE THREE-WEEKS ON 05/2002, AND AN ADVANCE PAYMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING FOUR-WEEKS ON 06/2002 FOR THE RATE OF $250/WEEK WHICH IS THE RENTAL FEE FOR A NON-STUDENT. EVEN THOUGH, I AM A STUDENT.
ALTHOUGH, I AM A STUDENT AND I DID NOT SIGN FOR THE RATE OF $250/WEEK, BUT I DID SIGN FOR THE RATE OF $75/WEEK. YET, THE COLLEGE WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1000/MONTH FOR NEARLY 100 SQUARE FEET ROOM OR MAY BE LESS.
IT IS NEEDLESS TO SAY, THAT CHARGING ANYBODY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR SUCH VERY LITTLE SPACE IS HIDEOUS, BECAUSE THE $1000/MONTH IS THE RENTAL FEE FOR NEARLY 550 SQUARE FEET APARTMENT.
THEREFORE, ON 04/08/2003 I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE "BETTER BUSINSS BUREAU" REGARDING THIS UNJUSTIFIED DEBT.
THE COLLEGE RESPONSE TO THE "BBB" WAS A COMPLETE LIE. AS THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE $1750 REPRESENTS $250/WEEK FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS ON 05/2002, AND THE $1250 WAS A COURT ORDER. [A COPY OF THEIR RESPONSE IS ENCLOSED]
IF THERE WAS A COURT ORDER, WHY DID THE COLLEGE WAITED UNTIL 07/09/2002 TO POST THE $1750 INTO MY STATEMENT; ALTHOUGH, THE HEARING WAS ON 06/07/2002.
FIRST, THE JUDGE DID NOT ISSUE ANY JUDGEMENT, OR COURT ORDER OF ANY KIND AGAINST ME, AND THE COLLEGE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FURNISH ANY DOCUMENTS TO SUPPORT THAT WHAT THEY HAVE SAID TO THE “BBB” IS TRUE.
SECOND, THE COLLEGE TOOK CONTROL OF THE ROOM ON 05/23-24/2002, AND I HAVE ONLY GOT THE ROOM’S KEY AROUND ME OUT 05/17/2002 THAT WAS APPROX. ONLY ONE WEEK, THEN THEY LOCKED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE, AND THAT WAS NOT ONLY A BREACH OF THE LAW, BUT ALSO UNETHICAL, UNSCRUPULOUS, CORRUPT, AND BARBARIC.
CONSEQUENTLY, ON 8/19/2003 I HAVE FILED A SUBPOENA WITH THE HOUSING COURT REQUESTING THAT THE COLLEGE MUST APPEAR IN THIS COURT ON 9/5/2003 WITH A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER.
HOWEVER, THEY HAVE FAILED TO FURNISH A COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER, AND THE JUDGE REFUSED TO ENFORCE THE SUBPOENA. I WAS UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND, WHY AND HOW THE JUDGE HAS MADE HIS DETERMINATION NOT TO ENFORCE THIS SUBPOENA. [A COPY OF THE SUBPOENA AND THE PROOF OF SERVICE ARE ENCLOSED]
CONSEQUENTLY, ON 8/5/2004 I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST FISHER COLLEGE WITH THE BOSTON MUNICIPAL COURT (BRIGHTON DIVISION) REQUESTING THAT THE COLLEGE MUST APPEAR ON 8/19/2004 WITH A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER. HOWEVER, THE COLLEGE FAILED TO APPEAR OR FURNISH A COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER.
TO THIS DAY, THE COLLEGE HAS NEVER FURNISHED A COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER; HOWEVER, FISHER COLLEGE IS STILL POSTING THIS AMOUNT OF [$1750] TO MY COLLEGE STATEMENT. [A COPY OF MY COLLEGE STATEMENT IS ENCLOSED]
THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FROM FISHER COLLEGE TO FURNISH YOUR AGENCY AND MYSELF WITH A COPY OF THIS COURT ORDER WITHIN 30 DAYS BEGINNING THE DATE THAT THIS COMPLAINT WAS OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED TO YOUR AGENCY.
THEY HAVE ALSO HIRED A COLLECTION AGENCY TO COLLECT THIS UNJUSTIFIED DEBT FROM ME, PLUS $583 IN COLLECTION FEE. [A COPY OF THE COLLECTION AGENCY’S LETTER IS ENCLOSED]
IN ADDITION, THE COLLEGE HAS ALSO REPORTED THIS UNJUSTIFIED DEBT TO MY CREDIT BUREAU REPORT AS A NEGATIVE OUTSTANDING DEBT. [A COPY OF THE CREDIT BUREAU REPORT IS ENCLOSED]
IN ORDER FOR THE COLLEGE TO COVER UP THEIR DISCRIMINATION, RETALIATION, AND CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATIONS; THEY HAVE REPORTED FALSE INFORMATION TO A FEDERAL AGENCY.
AS THEY HAVE REPORTED TO THE NATIONAL STUDENT LOAN DATA SYSTEM [NSLDS] THAT I HAVE WETHDRAWN MYSELF COMPLETELY FROM THE COLLEGE ON 05/04/2002, [A COPY OF THE “NSLDS” REPORT IS ENCLOSED]
WHAT THIS COLLEGE HAS DONE WAS NOT ONLY A BREACH OF THE LAW, BUT ALSO UNETHICAL, UNSCRUPULOUS, CORRUPT, AND BARBARIC.
I DO NOT KNOW, WHO OR WHICH AGENCY HAS THE JURISDICTION TO STOP THIS COLLEGE FROM THEIR ABUSE.
I HOPE THAT YOUR OFFICE WILL REVIEW MY COMPLAINT WITH FAIRNESS, MAKE THE FINDING, AND LOOK AT ALL THE FACTS WITH AN EYE OF JUSTICE.
