Virtual Learning Center No Warning No Information Just Gone! Internet

I started class with the VLC in March of 2009 for medical transcription. Was moving along nicely, so I thought. Finished up the terminology tests before Christmas and figured that I would complete the final exam prior to the first of the year. I tried on December 28, 2009 to access the final exam and the VLC site  would not come up. I emailed an instructor to find out if there was an issue with the network. I tried again today, December 29, 2009 to access the site, again no luck. Then I found that the instructor's email had been returned to me stating it was undeliverable permanently. I then decided to call only to find that the number was disconnected. After doing a little more research, I found several reports that stated that I was not the only student that was having an issue with this. I checked on the BBB and it stated that the company appeared to be out of business. Then after a little more research I found that the company is gone. I paid about $1000 to take this course. I was planning on the internship, but that isn't going to happen.
