I signed my son up for a course in Behavioral Dog Training with Penn Foster arpound July 2020. They wanted or insisted on Automatic debits through my Paypal account. On November 2020 They stopped taking Automatic debits and I was notified to pay Penn Foster because of this. The Recurring payments occurred on the 7th of each month. I attempted to pay Penn Foster sending money manually at the address below because they were taking money from this email as well automatically paypal reported verified as well
When I sent the money Paypal reported that the email did not exist so it was stuck in holding for 30 days. I reclaimed the money after 30 days. Penn Foster than did another automatic debit around 11/09/2020. I asked them about this how come you are taking money from a once verified paypal account to a non existent paypal account. Penn Foster in December debited the account in December and they refused to grade the project for my son after following all guidelines. I reported Penn Foster to the Better Business Bureau and they Penn Foster sent my 17 year old son a coupon payment booklet with my son's name on it. I told Penn Foster a 17 year old cannot enter into a contract and they would now be dealing with me. Age of consent is 18 years old for a contract not a minor.
On January 25th 2021, Penn Foster called from Bellingham Washington phone number 360-209-6559 caller id traced it. They told me to call 1-800-548-0603 number voice mail but the payment coupon booklet states 1-888-427-1000. This looked very suspicious so I called the 360 number and asked them you are wanting me to call up from 1-800-0380-7733 number and your coupon booklet states 1-888-427-1000 number and this was suppose to be in Scranton, Pa., not in Bellingham, Washington so I told them you do know you attempted to committ billing and phone fraud. The phone number 360 was reported to the FTC for phone fraud. They have sent me different email addresses during this process as well see below:
I have sent them invoices from Paypal to payback all 330.00 back but they stated it is against their policy. Problem is this policy broke the law by engaging in deceptive business practices, fraudlent billing and phone calls, threaten with collections possibly FCRA and FDCPA violation. The Attorney General of PA should revoke Penn Fosters license.
I was a stay at home mom trying to continue my education. I found Penn foster online and went ahead and gave it a shot. After about a month or 2 of really simple "easy A" type classes I looked into it a bit more. I was working towards an AA degree in early childhood education, which we all know the procedures are updated frequently. Alot of the material I was sent was EXTREMELY outdated. Like 1985 outdated.. I had taken early childhood classes at my highschool and it was the current material that should be learned. Like different steps to changing a diaper and the nutrition requirements for certain age groups. That is when I called and was withdrawn from the program.
Then I did some online research and figured out that a man in Portland Oregon was refunded his tution and the Oregon law enforcement had fined Penn foster for lying about their accediation. They were told they were to advertise their true accediation. This was in 2013 and they STILL are using false advertisement to get people to enroll. Not to mention they have charged my account for 519 dollars which I refuse to pay and will owe that money until the day I die. I will not give those low life jerks anymore money that will just help them continue to take advantage of those who cannot afford to go to a big University. They continued to act like they didn't know what I was talking about when I confronted them over the phone. Here is a link to the report on the guy from Oregon for proof that what I am saying is true.
