What is the name of your state (missouri)?
I am enrolled at bryan college and have been going there for about a year now and was 6 months away from graduating with a 3.8 gpa when they blocked me from classes due to not paying a $100 monthly payment.
When I enrolled in classes I was not told about this monthly payment, only after all the papers were signed, I was told on top of my tuition which financial aid covered, I would have to pay $100 per month that they used to pay back my student loans with.
Well first of all it is my responsibility to pay them back, not the schools, second, they never told me this up front, third, after missing several payments, they banned me from classes (even though other students owed more money than me)!
After getting the run a round for weeks I was told to come in for a meeting. They told me to file a grievance form with them about the situation, so i did. Then after a few more weeks they finally get back to me and told me they want to have a meeting with me and the vice president and the "new" executive director(the old one "retired" along with the lady in charge of the payments that i was having issues with)..kinda weird!
So I meet with them and they tell me they wont budge on the monthly payment and say it is to teach us responsibility! So either I pay them all the money I owe them and come back to class or I can drop and they will refund all of the money I have paid into the school back to me.
Well I do not have the money to pay them so i chose to get my money refunded. Sounded too good to be true! Well it was!
After having the executive director tell me i will only get part of my money back because it will be prorated, i called the vice president who told me I would get ALL of it back, no tricks! He said I would get all of the money that bryan college had received refunded to me and i could pay my loans off with it.
Well then I am told i have to come sign a drop form in order to start the process but i didnt fall for it. I told them i would not sign anything until i was given a number that i would recieve back in writing and signed. They started acting weird then.
Next i get a call from the vice president who tells me they will run the numbers for me and let me look it over, which is perfect but now he changed his story. He now says, i will get all of the money "owed" to me back! I told him he said something different at first and was trying to play me. He lied of course and said he said that from the get go.
So my question is, do I have a lawsuit? They charge a payment that is bogus, they kicked me out of school because I could not afford it, they lie to me about how much money i will recieve in return, the education i got there was a joke(i have a 3.8 and have rarely opened a book), also my life plans and finding a job has been directly affected by them doing this and now giving me the run around!
What can or should I do? Please help!
