I received my diploma from them, and it is fraud. I could not even get a job with it. I am very disappointed with them. I would like to have my money back to get a real diploma. $250.00 is a lot of money to give away.
Consumer Complaints & Reviews
I went online to get my high school diploma so I could go to college. They said they are accredited and I asked can I go to any college with that, they said yes. So I did all the grant applying and footwork to help pay for my college. Then when it came time to enroll I could not, because who they were accredited by is not recognized by the office of education or the council on recognition of post secondary accreditation. My college faxed them a letter saying I was rejected and when I tried to get my money back they said, I can have 186 dollars back out of 250 dollars for a service fee.
I got a highschool deplomia from them for 250.00 because I didnt finish school and I wanted to go back to school to study crimnal justice. Well i did the test back in 2007 and passed got the deplomia and was completely happy up untill it came time to choose a school. I applied to every school i know of in the state of georgia that was close to me and was heart broken NO school accepts the deplomia ...i called Belford to ask why and all they would tell me is that " Belford High School is an accredited institution recognized by two renowned accreditation agencies for on-line education, namely the International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) and Universal Council for Online Education Accreditation (UCOEA). When you get a high school diploma from Belford, you benefit from having the recognition of these accreditation agencies and to apply to other schools and get rejections letters to prove that they were not accepted i started calling schools"...
I called these schools and was told they they didnt accept the deplomia and that i needed to get a state approved GED.... Strayer Uni...South Uni....Ogeechee Tech....Savannah College of Art and Design.... Savannah State Uni....DeVry Uni....Armstrong Atlantic State Uni...Georgia Southern Uni.....and Colorado Technical Uni. online.. After all those calls I called Belford back and told them i wanted a refund on the "fake deplomia" and they got very rude with me and told me the same line again and then hung up on me. At that point I was very upset and called Strayer Uni. back and spoke with a rep. and he advised me to look them up on an accreditation locater and guess what International Accreditation Agency for Online Universities (IAAOU) and Universal Council for Online Education Accreditation (UCOEA) are not located on the list of accepted accreditation groups for anywhere that i can find also if you go to a highschool locator Belford is not found either ... at this point i was ready to explode..
I caleed belford back for the last time demanded to speak with a superviser and was told that they werent putting me through because they could help me with my problem... so I " in not so nice words " yelled at them and told them what all the schools were telling me and that i had to go get a state approved GED to go to college because the deplomia was no good .. and they gave me the same line again ... so i told them that i looked them up on both of the locators highschool locator and accreditation locator and that they were not on there and i wanted to know why ... and again all they said was that they were accredited internationaly so i told them they would be hearing from my lawers. I am now saveing up money to sew Belford for fraud and i am curently going to school for my GED to go to college ......
i recomend to everyone tring to get there deplomia online to look up the schools first and if you cant find information online about them call your local college and they would be more than happy to look up the school for you and tell you if it is accepted. but DO NOT GOT TO BELFORD HIGHSCHOOL ONLINE FOR ANYTHING I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO SEW THEM OR HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THEM IF JUST TYPE IN BELFORD HIGHSCHOOL ONLINE AND ALL KINDS OF SCAM LINKS AND FRAUD LINKS COME UP FOR THEM ABOUT THERE DEPLOMIAS AND MUCH MORE!!!!
