So attended this college for 2 brief semesters. They managed to take out loans in my name after stopping the school and have been harassing me since 2011 saying I owe them money and I don’t. In all realness they owe me the money they took from my student loans without me signing for it and they need to quit having 5 different agencies call and harass me saying I owe money I don’t.
When I went to Centura College it was known as Tidewater Tech Vocational College back in 2016-2017 I didn’t know much about school loans and how much school would cost and they knew this. many years later I would find out there were loans taken out for over $10,000 for less than one year of school it doesnt cost $10,000 to go to some universities for two semesters.
Once school started I ask the the instructors even ask the finanimal department about this college being accredited and I was told on many occasions that it was, I could transfer to another institute and some of my classes would transfer. After school was over I moved On to another state where I tried to attend another college only to be told none of the classes I took at Tidewater Tech Vocational would transfer. I would have to basically start over from the beginning Because the classes I took were only 2 credit classes and there are no such things as 2 credit classes.
After finishing at Tidewater Tech Vocational about a year later they changed the name to Centura College and changed the credit classes from 2 to 3 and some 4 credit. Then I had to start paying back these loans with this high interest.
Centura College AKA Tidewater Tech Vocational took my money and They knew it they are a scam do not go there. I spent extra dollars over the past year to get a degree that will actually transfer to another institutio. I just want my money back I want them to repay those loans.
The teachers could not even pass the certification test to be certified as a coder they read answers off the computer no one could pass i dont feel i should pay for something when i was not taught correctly and cant even work in the field i went to school for Centura college has been shut down they should pay for misleading all of us
I started school here in 2009 and I was excited about attending school for medical assisting and I was called to the financial offices more than once. I wanted to know if I was qualified for the financial aid but to learn that they was giving me student loans, I know I asked for a pell grants for the courses that I was taking but to learn that throughout my modules of learning that I was taking advantage of and given subsidized and unsubsidized loans. After completing the courses and passing, I heard that everyone even the students were talking that we was supposed to get money like $1,500 for completetion but no money was giving my way at all. So I graduated and thinking that with this field, I could apply at the hospitals, clinical, pediatrics, medical offices and no luck! Now, at this point, I felt like I was being ripped off of my learning and knowledge. I now hold a title of NRCMA but nothing to show for, I didn't have a job placement after I graduated, I felt as I was used and abused.
I learned that a year or so back that this school had a class action lawsuit but this lawyer needed $150 for them to get started on the case. I'm like at this point, with no job and nothing to give this lawyer and thinking that if he could just take the case and "IF" we won he would take his $150 and his cut of the money for the case, and it didn't work that way. I let my license go for my NRCMA title at the end of my name because I felt it wasn't no use and no one was or isn't going to hire me because for 1 this school wasn't accredited by the state of South Carolina and for 2 this school is a rip off. I also feel like that I took my time on those long study nights and lost a few sleep of studying of what I needed to passed that module. I'm afraid to go to another school to become a nurse because the loans will pile up on me. I feel that I shouldn't have a student loan from Sallie Mae at the time when the school was just ripping people off, I feel that Sallie Mae which is now Navient should be deleted and make Centura College pay for the lies and deciets!! A person such as myself felt used and rushed into something without no understanding!!
I was so proud of myself-I was finally able to go back to school So I made the biggest mistake of my life. I enrolled at Centura College in North Charleston, SC.
First-no scholarships were allowed-although the scholarships that they don't me were scholarships were actually discounts from them.
I drove 35 miles one way a day to go to school- I missed only 2 days of college and made a 4.0 gpa...I was told all the way through school that their certifications were genuine and if I passed the test I would be able to get a job anywhere- I studied in the Medical Assistant programming and listened to the lies and dreams that they told us about working in a doctors office or a hospital-depending on where we went. I was so excited.
When I got ready to do my externship-I was told that I would have to find my own externship and I started calling different doctors offices and found out quickly that when I mentioned Centura-the response was normally a no and click.
My gut told me that something didn't seem right-but I perservered- I started applying to locals hospitals and doctors offices-I was a CMA- found out the acredations were not recognized by any doctors office or hospital in our area. Come to find out-it was not recognized by any medical field I could find-
Now the career councellor quit and a new one was hired-a joke-kept calling me every day asking if I found a job-when I said no-keep looking he said.
After two years-I finally gave up on my dream and went to work in a different field.
In 2007, I signed up with what then was Tidewater Tech, now Centura College. I was doing online classes hoping to get my Associates Degree in Business Management. I went through 2009, I lacked three credits. It was then that I learned that they were an unaccredited school so therefore I quit. They charged me for my last three classes when I didn't even attend them.. I started looking into other colleges that I knew were accredited and they could not use my credits which were 50 credits because they simply were no good.. So now here I am eight-years later owing 60,000 in student loans. I simply do not have the money to pay back those loans and also am getting threatened on the phone that they are going to start garnishee and my husband's check.. She could not answer the question who was paying the loan until 2010 because I have not ever paid a dime. I am my mother of a disabled child my husband works 80 hours a month if that and also have two other children. I feel I was being frauded by being lied too through those years.. I feel like I honestly do not owe that money because I was being lied to and I would never have been able to use that Associates Degree.
I enroll to centura college online for network management i started off good making honor roll then all of sudden i was getting medical books and medical supplies.
they changed my degree course to medical for some reason without me knowing how can they change what i wanna get a degree in to something im not interrested in
so now im $22,000 in debt and no degree and to find out they dont offer online anymore i feel like they took my money and ran
I went to Centura College to get a Medical Coding degree. Four days into the classes, we were told that they will be teaching us Medisoft, but medical offices do not use that software any longer, but don't worry because this will give us some idea of how to make appointments. It was too late to withdraw. I was called all kinds of names from the students in the class. Stupid white bi**ch to name one and the instructor pretened like she did not hear that. Students would come in drunk and pee in their pants. The tests we were given were a joke. We would get points for dressing up so we could pass our tests.
I then signed up to get an associates degree in bussiness because no other college would take my credits I had earned before. That was a bigger joke. I will say some of the teachers seem to care, but they really could not teach too much with some of the students we had in our class. They would come in and fall asleep,come in high. My friend going there for her computer degree had to teach her classes because te teacher never came.
After all of that, no one will hire me coming from that school. I feel like such an idiot for going there because now I am 42,000 in debt and I can not get a job nor can I get into a school to get my bachelor's degree because no school will except the credits. I have to start over.
After five years from when I started, I just got a bill from them saying I owe them 2,800.00. No explanation, just a bill. I tried to call to find out why after five years am I getting a bill. Noone knows.
Save yourself a bunch of money and head and heart ache and go to another school. They need to hang their heads in shame for even calling themselves an institution.
