| | Cassandra Lentz | 606-787-4601 | Cassienadam3@yahoo.com | National College Danville campus | Dec 2008 to Nov 2011 | When I started school I was told that they would help us find a job. I was also told that we had to sit in classes for the first 2 weeks of class before we could sign for the extra money we could get from Direct loans or any grants that we were offered. I was there a year then it became 30 days we would have to wait to sign for our extra money. June of 2010 I started the term and went through to August of 2010. I was not able to sign for that terms money. The next term started at the end of August first of September and I waited the 30 days and was finally able to sign for the June terms money and the August terms money. The 4 and half months that went by I called Direct loans and I was told that the money was placed into the National account in June so my money that I have to pay back to the Govenrment was sitting in National's account for all that time and they were able to drawl Interest off of my money. My last year at national I have to sit out for 9 months because of medical reasons and the last term I went back the had raised my tution with out telling my anything. Another student there had to explain it to me. Now that I have graduated from there in May of 2012 they call to see If I have a job or not and thats all. I am starting a new college in October and I have to start all over again as a Freshman because even though I have graduated from National none of my credits will keep me from having to take all those classes over again at the other school. | Pending | | | | | |

| | Lovella Hicks | 6062624311 | lhicks9779@gmail.com | National College | 03-2007 thru 05-2009 | I have been a stay at home mother since I was 18 years old. When my children were grown up enough to take care of themselves I started looking for a carreer. I saw an ad for National College and made an appointment. I was in awe of the school. While It has always been my dream to become a nurse, when I saw the medical assistant associate degree diploma I thought I had finally found my calling, since nursing schools are so hard to get into. I enrolled and was told that they would get me a job when I was out of school and I would probably be hired by the doctor where I did my externship, which was part of my graduation requirement. I worked very hard and sacrificed my time and money as well as time with my children to attend school in the hopes of bettering myself. I have always been a very good student and while I did not perform to the best of my abilities, I had three kids to raise, I passed. I thought my dream of being self sufficient was coming true. However, a few months before I was to graduate, the school announced that they were going to start a registered nursing program. I thought my prayers had been answered. To be considered for enrollment everyone had to take a placement test. The base score to get in was 700. I got well into the 900s but was not accepted. My medical assisting teacher at the time, Roberta Wolford, also took the exam. She failed. I knew a lot of the people there that did not score high enough to get in. There was a second chance to take the test before the selection was made and I retook it, thinking that if I got even higher it would ensure my place in the program. Sure enough myself and a lot of the same people took the test again, this time I scored even higher. My teacher, Mrs. Wolford also retook it and this time she passed. But she barely passed. She barely got past a 750. And there were others who passed this time but barely. I was notified that I did not get into the program, and while heartbreaking, I realized that I still almost had my degree and could still get a good job. I later learned that Mrs. Wolford as well as several of the others had been accepted. I was truly disappointed but decided to just focus on my graduation. As graduation came and wen the career center said they would send me emails concerning new job openings and set me up for interviews, etc. I was sent on one interview and I never heard back from them. It has been over two years now and I still cannot get a job. I have applications in at every hospital in my area as well as other places. I have yet to find a job. I feel like I sacrificed two years of my life, my hard work, and time with my children for nothing. I feel very cheated. I have about 25000 in student loan debt and have had to get deferments because I do not have a job to pay the loans back. I am in a poor financial state right now and things do not seem to get better. My dreams never became a reality and I feel like I was lied to and was just not good enough. | Pending | | | | | |

The instructor was removed from Galen recently for reasons unknown. I have incomplete grades. I have attempted to contact multiple faculty regarding my situation for the past three weeks. Absolutely no one has returned a phone call or an email. I have went from the bottom up. Resent emails and have been waiting patiently. I feel things have been unjust related to the imbalanced instructor. She had outbursts with multiple students, we were taken into a closet and counseled. She stated she would send homework assignments and did not. She did not answer any questions related to class that I had. She stated "she did not have time for me". She hung up the phone when I tried to contact her. This has gone on way to long. I am out of answers and with no response from Galen college I do not know where or what to do. I am scared if I react they denie me my classes I already have which are only good at Galen. They have no Sacks Accreditation. Please can you advise me. I desperately need assistance.

I.e. calling repeatedly until i got all the stuff they needed. I originally inquired about fall classes and was hurried to go ahead and take summer classes. With my work sponsoring some scholarships my classes were supposed to cost less than $300 per quarter. When my job and family required more time and i was unable to keep up with the work i was kicked out of classes. I tried to keep up with the lectures so i could at least learn something from the classes. when i was unable to spend the time requirted to keep up with the attendance requirements (which were twice the amount of time they told me i would be required) they kicked me out of classes all together and told me i would owe them an additional $1000 because i dropped out. it seems rather unfair to charge me more if i stop using a service early. i paid for classes i feel i should at a minimum be allowed to attend or not at my discretion. | Pending | | | | | |

I was told by the admission representative that the college was accredited and recognized by many other colleges around the nation. However, after receiving my associates in criminal investigation, I wanted to transfer to another school to continue my education and get my Bachelor's degree when I found out that my credits were not transferable and my degree was worthless. The school insisted that I attend Everest College Pheonix for my Bachelor's degree, however many of my credits didn't transfer and I had to take a lot of courses again and was charged twice. I was also told that Everest helped with job placement after graduation, I graduated in 2010 and requested help by the school, the school responded and told me to apply to my local department, which seemed like common sense and not helpful at all. I was also told by the admission rep about tuition fees which were much less than what they billed my financial aid for. I am very afraid I have been scamed and defrauded beyond my control. Is there anything I can do. Can you give me more information or put me in contact with someone that I can contact about this matter. My student loans are over $59,000.00.

| | Sherrill Y Estes | 910-352-1328 | estes.sherrill@gmail.com | Jefferson Community College | 2010-2011 | I am requesting you to file a civil rights violations lawsuit against the United States Department of Education. My rights as a student were violated during the fall and spring semester of 2010-2011. I was an online student at Jefferson Community College. My UBS drives containing my work files became corrupted, my papers shown online were moving upside down, the server knocked me off line during tests. I was not permitted to re-test, thus failing me in work where I am extremely knowledgable. This cost me three years of wasted time and thousands of dollars in school loans. I was forced to drop classes and fail. My grades dropped from 3.8 GPA to 1.4. I was not allowed to continue classes nor received any funding for the 2012 period, therefore was forced to drop out of school. I am trying again in a new location, expecting sap appeals and other financial difficulties. Mr. Conway, this is a long term and chronic issue regarding civil rights violations. Every job from 2001 to 2007 had various federal agents and police divisions violating my rights to work. It created a hostile work enviornment similiar to the hostile online experience, forcing termination of employment/school/and all kinds of other problems. My bank accounts are being hacked and money stolen as usual. It appears police divisions with Associated Press/Sat Scientists and Realtors are putting me in the middle of a cvil war with both sides crippling my financial stability, and causing much mental anquish. My SAT grades at the University of Louisville were affected by Perconti ,Hobbs ,Main, AP, Paul Allen , and a half brother Steve Young, several neices and nephews stalking me and their trading stocks. My client Pepper English of Bell South complained of the Army-University of Louisville adversely affecting the School Boards fundraising which she participated in. My employment was terminated. I did not participate in their programs, however my identity was being used in them by Armed Forces and State and local government. This has continued although I have filed numerous reports of civil rights violations by CIA-VA-AP and Army-Navy and others. Because I could not sustain employment over dueling fundraisers I choose to go back to school where the same civil rights problems affected me at work since 2001 occured. Education fundrasiers and civil rights violations are the cause of the workplace terminations, and loss; theft of wages, destruction of $350,000.00 in assets, the loss of a home from an IV assault by Main-AP valued at $400,000.00, and loss of wages of nearly a million this decade, nearly 30,000.00 in wasted school loans, waste of nearly thirteen years of my life, tremendous violence, death threats, bankruptcy, everyone robbing me, mental anquish, slander, stalking and severe injury by Veterans Administration, CIA, Secret Service, and other intelligence agencies and military branches. Chronic long term abuse caused me to become homeless and worthless. I once enjoyed two solid businesses, taught continuing edcation at the University of Louisville. I am not degreed, therefore I believe my seminar business and real estate business earnings are the motive for the inflicted civil rights abuse. Presently, I have moved to Wilmington, North Carolina. I still maintain resdency through a niece in Louisville. I moved to avoid further harassment and shame. Since then, military and police are hacking into my bank accounts. Military is wasting my money using high technology riding me around in circles. This is being caused by either a mistaken identity with Pam Brown or my former job at Dictaphone/Nuance or my name Sherrill Young Estes. Sherrill Young is a school board superintendant , a man, and resides in school board superintendant in Bakerfield, Cal . Bakersfiled is the hometown of Kevin Harvick , closely associated with Mary Ann Main Palmer a former attorney of my separated husband. Palmer, Associated Press, is a former recruiter for Popa Johns. Every possible conflict has been directed toward me in an effort to destroy my life and enjoyment thereof. Today, my losses are hugh,there have been numerous military assaults and extreme loss affecting my earnings and assets as well as my mental and financial stability. Much confusion regarding what, why , and who has affected my getting back to you late. My son S. Ryan Estes, a purechild of my long marriage to Mr. Chris Estes has been slandered. There is much psychological abuse regarding communication with authorities. I pray you can assist me in this process and help me to better understand how some identity theft may have played a part of the injuries and loss I sustained. Regardless, I am now prepared to have you represent me with a civil rights education case. I am able to return to Kentucky, should this be required. I can travel and meet with you. Thank you in advance. Sincerely Sherrill Young Estes 203 Horn Road Wilmington NC 28412 910-352-1328 I will return to Kentucky should you take interest in helping me to settle this matter. | Pending | | | | | |

When I enrolled, I was told the college was accredited and my classes would transfer if I chose to go elsewhere. I was also told they would file my VA paperwork. I was allowed to attend classes and charge my books. Most of the books were specific to Daymar college so I couldn't buy my books from anywhere but Daymar, but I was allowed to charge them to my account. I went to the school for a year and a half and was never informed there was an issue. When I didn't continue with my classes, I received a call from a very rude collection agency. The man told me I owed Daymar almost $10,000. He didn't believe me when I told him I didn't get a bill. I spoke to the financial aid department several times and Mr. William West (president of the Bellevue, KY campus) and never received a bill from them. I got to the point where I quit following up on it. The financial aid department, at one point, told me it wouldn't show up on my credit report. If they filled out the VA paperwork, why would there be a bill for $10K? Anyway, I transferred to Thomas More in 2011. None of my classes from Daymar transferred so I was forced to take classes over again. They were so much alike that I was able to use my notes from some of the Daymar classes to help me with my Thomas More classes. I wasted a year and a half at Daymar and used VA funds for the school so now I don't have the funds to complete my Bachelors degree.

The entire time I was a student I was told they would help me with job placement and that my salary would increase significantly when I did find one instead of struggling on minimum wage. I was also told that National College was an accredited school which I have found it is not. As of today I have not been able to find a job with the degree that I have nor have I been assisted in anyway by National College. Since I could not find a job with the degrees that I currently have I decided to go back to a community college to be able to receive my RN degree so I could find a job. I have went two years to this school where I found out recently that I have been accepted into their RN program with only four semester to complete but here is the problem since National College was not accredited school the college I attend now will not accept their credits nor will any other college for that matter. I have had to start all over again including all of my prerequisites. Now that I have been accepted into the RN program my loans have accumulated so much because of National College that I can no longer go to school because National maxed out my loans plus I was lied to about credits transferring. I do not know what to do because I want to complete the four semester I have to be an RN but I can not afford to because I am a single mother with two children who depend on me so every dime that I have goes to them and the cost of living without any extra that I can take out of pocket for education expenses. I would like to pursue legal action against National College for not only lying about being accredited college but also for lying about my entire experience at National College. I went to college so I would not have to struggle and live off of assistance from the state but all National College has done is put me more in debt and took my dream away from being an RN because of their lies and deceit. Please help me with information to pursue a lawsuit. Thank You Jeannie Lyons | Pending | | | | | |
