BCTI Business Computer Training Institute ripoff, put me in debt, lied about what I would learn, waste of money Everett Washington

I attended BCTI in Everett from April 2004 - October 2004.

When I signed up with BCTI the Career Consultant assured me that when I graduated I would have learned enough to start my own small business. It wasn't until PP3 that I was informed by an instructor that I was misled, I would only be taught the basics and I would not have nearly enough education. Knowing that I didn't have enough money at this point anyway, I decided to stay in school.

On the 2nd day of PP2 our instructor broke her ankle and was not going to be back until after we had moved on to PP3. They gave us numerous instructors to sub for her until settling with 2 men that knew absolutely nothing about what they were supposed to be teaching us. They tried but, they failed... horribly. So, when we got to PP3 our instructor had to find out what exactly we knew, which wasn't much. So, she filled us in and moved on to what we were supposed to be learning.

Eventually, we started meeting with the B with a capital BCES worker who was supposed to help us find a job. We had a company, StateWide, come in and interview. Everyone but, my friend got the job. They disrciminated against her because of her ethnic background. Many of us told the BCES worker and she let that company come back and interview more people. That told us she didn't care. She just wanted us to get any old job.

When I finally did get a job it was with a company that was committing fraud and I quit. I called her and asked her to help me find another one and we talked for a few minutes about what I was looking for. She never contacted me again and then BCTI closed.

Unemployment wants me to pay them $1,300 for failure to prove my job log, which is in la la land because it was in my personal file on my computer at BCTI. So, now I am getting calls from some company that bought part of my loan from BCTI. And I owe $6,500 on my Stafford loan. Because I didn't learn enough in BCTI I can't get a good paying full time job, so I am working part time at a daycare.

I don't have enough money to pay my loan and I almost lost my car. I had to borrow money from my parents. How embarrasing. If there is any way someone can help me sue the pants off of BCTI I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
