I have never taken a Penn Foster course although I did ask for info only some time ago. Now I am getting two calls a day from USCB of Scranton Pa which is their collection company. The bad part is that they are always asking for someone that is not now or ever been in my house nor do I know them, I have indicated several times that I do not or ever have know this individual and to quit calling but I still get the phones calls once or twice a day.How do I get them to quit bugging me. I have reported themn to the Florida Department of Consumer Affirs.

Started out ok...thought their study materials were a little under par...not textbooks mind you...but their version of a textbooklet...had to cancel after a year due to poor health...was promised a reimbursement for overpaid tuition...there was no way I could finish so I decided this was the best thing to do...$377.50...they take the down payment immediately from your bank account and the monthly payments promptly, however it takes weeks to get reimbursed for overpayment? No sign of a reimbursement yet to my account...lawyer seems next best bet.

Penn Foster - Initial studies for a non-accredited program had nothing to do for what I signed up for, supplies not delivered and when I fortunate enough to take an exam that was handed in it took more than 4 weeks to be graded. My SS# was also listed under someone else who had used Penn Foster. I have 4 valid complaints that Penn Foster needed to rectify. Several phone calls to Penn Foster did not produce favorable results so I informed them of my cancellation and the reiterated the above. Mary from Penn Foster confirmed my cancellation and I followed up with a letter to them. I did not even ask for a refund, it was not worth the argument.

Not long after my cancellation...the 1st month I did not pay them anymore money. Harassing phone calls started, robot messages several times a day and then they attacked my credit report.

I am in the process of reporting all of this to the Federal trade Commission and my states Attorney General..has anyone else had a similar experience?

I signed up for the Mechanical Engineering Associates degree. The first thing Penn Foster did was to take 1240.00 from my Debit account. I paid them and was filling out the application when I noticed that I had to prove I graduated from High School. My High School closed in 1980 and the building was sold to the University of Pennsylvania, so I did not know how to retrieve my High School transcript. The next step taken was to question this requirement. I have two college Degrees. It should have been related to me prior to taking out my money. Any way I canceled out of the program. Penn Foster said it would be 2 week before the money would be returned. That would make it 12/28/2009.

I asked for a letter saying how much would be returned. It took a week to get the letter and many calls requesting the letter. It is now 12/31/2009 and still the money has not been returned to my account.

The letter they sent has a date of 12/18/2009 which is two days before I enrolled but the post office stamp is 12/24/2009.

This float means they have the use of my money but no "quo pro quid".

I am not receiving anything of value from Penn Foster.

If your thinking of enrolling in Penn Foster ask for a contract before you

pay anything. Their address is in Scranton, their home office is in Phonex, Arizona. Do not send or offer money until everything seen in Black and white including the course outline and one or more of the texts.

If you are thinking to take classes online make sure you don't study through penn foster; it is not a recognized school.Once you finish you can not transfer the credits to a four years college. Sometimes they take a month to send you a shipment, and when they finally send it you find out is incomplete; so you have to wait for another week to start a new class.When you make a call you have to wait eternity, and if you leave a message they don't return your call. Don't waist your money, and time, get a college that respect you, and value your time and effort. Penn Foster is not a reliable institution.
