I did the Medical Billing program, i was promised a job when my time came that my class has ended, we (meaning 5 other people from my class) went though the whole exit routine after we were promised jobs, most of us haven't gotten a job, nor has the school helped at all, i do recall getting 5 phone calls each month saying that they lost my resume please send it again. after sending my resume each time. they would call and ask for me to re-send it cause they lost it. It got to a point that i drove from the South Bay, Los Angeles area and dropped of 10 hard copies of my resume, they lost those too.

After a few months went by i got a call in November asking if i found a job, and asking if i have been looking which i have i sent out over 1000 emails with my resume, and still nothing. One guy did call me in December stating that they lost my resume and email. to please go in and give it to them.

They also requested me to send my in an email, which i done so then called me back within minutes and requested me to send it as a word doc, at the time i didnt have word 2007 on my laptop after stating my situation Angela said for me to drive over there and convert it, then go home. its a 45min without traffic 1hr30min drive with traffic one way. i said this to her and she couldn't do anything to help me unless i didn't do that. First off i don't have the money to be wasting to go do something for a whole 3mins then drive back. i don't see why she couldn't of helped me out that one time. It is now Feb 2010 and no call from school accept my student loan they want me to pay. a sum of 13,000.00

Me and my friends came up with the idea that this school will only talk to you if u have a credit score.

I was told when i stated the program that they would help me find a job and i completed the program on July 17,2009 and they have not sent me on any interviews, gave me any leads or helped me in any way. I called the supervisor of Alice who is the person thats to help you with job placement and she told me that she could guarantee me that i would be working by the begining of October and its now november and im still not working.The supervisors name is Mrs.G. I am not the only student that has not found a job or the school has not help find a job, i fell the los angeles campus should be investigated for fraud because they are not doing what they advertise or promise you when you sing up for the loans or program. I still have to pay back money for a lone that has done me no good and i feel thats not far at all. Can you PLEASE do somthing about this matter. I feel i should not have to pay them back becaue if they would have told me that they couldnt help me find a job i would not have wasted my time going to school or getting a loan to do so.
