owe them money?
I worked for them for about three months. I was fired because I did not meet my sales quotas. As an Admissions Advisor you are required to sell a certin number of people on enrolling at Kaplan. I began classes in a MS program, but dropped the class due to the quality of the program. I attended less than two weeks. When I withdrew, I was told by financial aid that my account was clear. Now, after a couple of months they are calling me daily asking for 100.00. I received one statement that had no description of the charge. One caller told me it was an administrative charge, but could not give me any details. I have told them, the last four times they have called, not to call me again. When I receive a statement with a legit. charge description I would contact them.
7/9/10 @ 8:44 am, 7/8/10 early evening. The first three calls were not logged by me, but they record everything.

harassment/fraud
I have been attending Kaplan University since 2008 I will graduate in hopefuly 9 months. They continue to say I owe money from past tuition years, how? This is a good question!! I have now paid them just over 700 dollars in the past couple months and they are trying to say I did not pay the full amount!!! They are calling me constantly harassing me, changing their story around!! I have sent them proof of the money I have paid and they still are calling me!!! My financial aid is supposed to cover my schooling so I don't know where they get off harassing a disabled mother who is trying the best she can to make a life for her son who has problems himself!!! I am finding any and all places to go for help with this situation and any and all places to go to file complaints!!! I hope when people think of going to Kaplan they see all that so many of us have gone through and RUN FAST!!! This is a terrible school and I am so disgusted I feel they owe us all our money back ALL our money!!! They should be paying off our student loans!!

Financial aid
MY name is kenisa slaughter I started kaplan april 21st I think, which was suposed to be the first day of classes. I was in Intro classes and in order to NOT be in intro classes i had to take a test before hand, I dont remeber what it was called I passed it once and i think i got a 15. They told me if i took it again and made a 20 I believe it was then i wouldnt have to be in intro classes so i took it again and made a score that would qualify me to NOT be in intro classes. They school told me I couldnt start my classes till my financial aid was approved and I got the last paper faxed in on the first day of classes and they had blocked me that morning from my classes but then reopend them in the same day so i could begin my class work, they told me my fianancial aid had been approved. In one week I faxed in 3-4 different papers atleast 4 times each and each time i filled out a paper i was on the phone with someone from kaplan that went over the paper work with me and told me what to fill out. So if i did exactly what they told me to do why did i still have to keep filling out the same papers over and over again and sometimes making corrections to the same papers that they themselves helped me fill out. I ended up doing three weeks worth of into classes, Two of them. They crap with kaplan and the paper work kept on and on and i got so tired of talking to different people, Never getting phone calls returned, Being on hold for hours on end. I did everything they told me to do and got it done on time and they still kept asking for the same papers, It was like no one at kaplan knew what they were doing. I always talked to someone different it was hardly ever the same person. I made corrections to my FASFA atleast 3 times because one employee at kaplan told me to put yes on something that i actually needed to put No on. I got so fed up that I called my advisor, His name was bill. I told them i wanted to un enroll at kaplan and no longer wanted to attend their school. It has been impossible to un enroll. I tried to un enroll about 2 months ago and i am still not un enrolled and I found out I did three weeks worth of classes and my financial aid had never been approved in the first place. Now they are wanting me to pay them $3, 772.50 for THREE WEEKS! My financial aid was suposed to be approved and it wasnt, they lied to me! They tried talking me out of un enrolling, I almost thought they werent going to let me then they downed me from dropping out and telling me that i just needed to finish my classes. After I talked to two people about un enrolling they told me i had to be transferd to fianancial aid to get that set up and find out how much i would owe but i shouldnt have to owe anything. You cant tell me financial aid wont pay for three weeks worth of two classes!??? I havent heard from them since i tried un enrolling until the end of may 2010 and now they are asking me to send in the same papers i have sent in 6 times or more! Im so tired of this and i dont feel i should have to pay them anything! I told them from the start I cant affor anything, I cant pay for anything! I dont have any proof of anything other then family witness's and the calls that are suposed to be recorded at kaplan.
Im 19yrs old and I have my own house and I do not live with my father. Kaplan has claimed me as a dependant because i am not married, I dont have kids and Im not 25yrs. Old. I have never heard of such crap! They wanted my father to take out a parent loan... FOR WHAT??? Hes not going to school I am. Which im not now. I dont know what to do, Kaplan has really screwed me over

Rude and rip off
Do not got to Kaplan University. They will give you the run around and just take your money. Even when you are no longer going to school there, they will still bill your credit card. When you try to ask them about the situation, they will send you to someone else who skirts around the problem. Then they talk to you like your an idiot. I have called them every month for 3 months trying to get my money back for classes I never took. All I get is a rude person who pretty much tells you to f off. Do yourself a favor, don't even click on their ads.
My name is Jeimy, complaning about Kapla May 20, 2010
complain
I been at Kaplan University Online for 2 years now. They first told me that I dont have to pay nothing aut of pocket, than 4 months later I got a call from Student Accounts telling me that I owe the school out of pocket money. They transfer me to the Financial Aid office, I spoke with a lady and she said the loan was erased by an "error "and they will fix it, but it can take couple of weeks.

So I waited and every day I got calls from Student accunts, they said until the Financial Aid office dont fix my account, they wil keep callime me. So I waitted a month and call back, they said that they are still working on it. I wait 2 weeks, an than they said that there is nothing that they can do about it and they have to tell the managment about it. Financila aid said the managment will be working on it and will call me back. This happed 3 weeks ago and i havent got no calls from financial aid telling me a resolution.

I been emaling at least 3 financial aid officers and they never repsond to me. I have about 2-3 pages of email that i printed, and I have proff that they dont email me back.

So anyways I am still waitting for them to call me... hopefully they fix the problem that they calld error. Seen all this complanits worrys me a lot.

FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATION
Admission advisors lie to you telling you that you will have no out of pocket expense until you graduate, that financial aid and grants that they will work with you to acquire will take care of your financial responsibilities, this is not true.
I explained to the admissions advisor when I was out of work trying to find a way to better my income and make myself more marketable in the work place that I was on the verge of bankruptcy and could not take on any more debt at his time until I was gainfully employed. I explained to him that I was 50 yrs old and and had worked in construction all my life and was topped out at middle management without a degree, and that is why I was seeking online education, but this would not be an option for me if I had to pay any kind of monthly notes to do so. He assured me that there would be none until I graduated or left the school program. Well guess what he lied, 8 weeks into the curriculum I start getting invoices for money owed to kaplan that they say was not covered in its entirety by Direct Loans my chosen financial aid source, I immediatly dropped out from the program, fearing a huge financial burden was about to acquired, I recieved a notice of funds dispersement from Direct Loans to Kaplan, On the back of the notice it says you have the option within 120 days to cancel this loan with no penalty and have the funds returned, but Direct loans says you have to get the school to handle that part, well guess what they ignore certified request to do so. These admission's advisors are skilled liars and scam artist, this one tells his own hardship story and how Kaplan University has changed his life and givin him the education he so despretly needed. I don't know how these people sleep at night? I don't understand how goverment allows tax payer money to fund so called schools like this one, I don't understand how the goverment allows any operation that taps into goverment funds to operate without any standards of operation and responsibility to the consumers of this country? You would think that with all the complaints filed some goverment entity would start a investigation and stop allowing these people to victimize the people of this country!!
You would think that you would be safe dealing with a so called school that acquired funding from the goverment with so called grants and financial aid that it would be safe for the consumer, WELL ITS NOT!

Shut them down
Ok so this is it, Kaplan is obviously a school where the students are being held accountable for the wrong doings of their school. Its time we as the students fight back. And im calling on you, we are going to go on different nation wide programs, i have a lawyer that i am in close contact with observing how this school conducts "business". We have even recorded conversations, and boy these guys are bad "I understand it was the error of kaplan universities department but like any business where you are over paid (3 times in one award year)being a good Samaritan you should pay" WHAT? its ok, i have it all recorded, different documents stating different prices for different reasons. If you have any documents or anything that you can find gather it. Im on a mission to finish my education and get whats rightfully mines. With this being said we are going at Kaplan top speed and we need your help in doing so. Email me with your story. These emails of stories will only be shared with government agencies in means of addressing our complaints and finishing our education. Also let me know where you are from and an email you can be reached, whether or not you will be willing to appear on shows like Oprah Winfrey, Live News broadcasting channels as well as to have your story shared with others via newspaper mail and blog. thank you. Its time to make Kaplan Pay.

Fraued and Over charge?
I was a student at Kaplan from 2/09 thru 4/09. I was assured that because I was a veteran that was eligible for the GI Bill, and I was laid off form work so I would be eligible for money from the government I was assured I would have no out of pocket expenses by my Military advisor Wendy Robinson. After completing the first term and enrolling for the second I was notified by Kaplan that I have a Balance of $4100.oo! I tiold them that I was not able to pay out of pocket at the time and they locked me out of my classes. Later I found out that they had locked me out of those classes but still charged me for them. Now I'm trying to enroll at another University so that I can finish my degree but can't. According to the new school I need the transcripts from Kaplan so that they can do a degree audit. So now I'm stuck up S#!* creek without a paddle. Anyone who has any advice or help please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you from this discouraged Veteran...

Ignorant service
I have been requesting for about a 1/2 year for a statement of all bills and the amount that has been paid. They ignore me like I don't even exist.
