I am a veteran and attended Daymar College. 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. I occasionaly get a call from a collection agency, it is alwasy a different one, but when they call I refer them to Mr. West.
