SANFORD BROWN Is A Sales Pitch

I concur with the original Complainant's experience from Houston. Everyone needs to hear his caution and the misfortune, burden, financial weight dumped on him as a student who invested his hopes in a degree and a well-paying career.

CEC uses a marketing ploy with fancy media presentations, statistics, and testimonials to entice prospective students in signing a Credit Installment Contract as part of financing exorbitant tuition costs.

In my case, not only did they fail to provide me with the student loan, they proceeded to place a derogatory mark on my consumer credit report with Experian.
I have been disputing this fraudulent report for over 7 years. Complaints have been filed with the Better Business Bureau of Northern Illinois, State of Illinois, Attorney General, Federal Trade Commission, and the Senators from Illinois.

If you want to get information of the contact address for the President and Secretary of CEC, Inc., a corporation (not a traditional college), you should go to the Illinois Secretary of State's webpage and do a business name search. The names of jack larsen, President, and Marilyn Cason, Secretary, will result from your search.

I cannot emphasize how corrupt this operation is in its marketing and business practices. Do not be enticed by the sale of a dream. Do not sign contracts that have not been explained to you.

All prospective students are better off getting a community college education, or a degree from State supported university. Take advantage of your tax dollars, and recognize that CEC is corporation that makes itself profitable on the backs of hopes and dreams of prospects who wish to better the circumstances.

Steer clear of the fraud, abuse, and misrepresentation.

CEC Is A Corporate Money Beggar & Diploma Mill
First, let me take this time to reaffirm the fact that career education corporation is a greedy, money beggar corporation that aims to exploit and abuse its alleged students (in reality these students are debtors).

The Sanford brown is in fact, CEC Inc., a corporation listed on the NYSE. Its primary motive is to function as a "money/diploma mill" and collect on high balance loans and interest.

Patrick deserves to be applauded because he has spoken truth to you as someone who has experience with Sanford brown, its students, and business practices.

most of CEC's employees are ignorant, uninformed tools of the Corporate lies and marketing pitch. As is very common, the people that work for these corporations are completely brainwashed by the calculated marketing schemes carefully crafted from the Executives that we will never see or hold accountable.

I have filed complaints against this Corporation (not University) because I was enrolled at the business for one semester. During that time, I compiled a 3.8 GPA and made Honor Roll.

I also received a Bachelor of Science degree from California State University Northridge in Biological Sciences. I was motivated, ambitious, and thirsty to learn about business, so I took additional college courses in Business, Finance, and Taxation.

At every institution of higher learning, I received excellent marks, and was named to the Honor Roll.

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE MONEY BEGGAR CORPORATION THAT ACTIVELY SEEKS TO ENGAGE IN UNJUST ENRICHMENT AND CREDITOR ABUSES AGAINST STUDENTS.

sanford brown conducts an operation that is no different that MBNA, Capital One, Metris, Bank of America, etc.

They will charge you late fees, penalties, send collection notices, and defame your financial reputation.

CEC is a Corporation. It business operating unit is called career education corporation, Inc.

It's service name is cec schools; its name gives it more credibility as part of the calculated marketing scheme.

Also, Sanford brown makes use of federal student aid forms that makes you believe that your funds are coming from the federal government. In truth, its loans come from private banks and financial institutions as another revenue stream to boost their accounting books and profitability.

How serious can you be if you work for a phony, rip-off corporation like Sanford brown? That type of individual is to be properly classified as a "sell out." Bar none.

I challenge all consumers out there to read through these comments, as well as conduct a thorough search on the internet about consumer complaints regarding this corporate scheme by the CEC.

Finally, I have written to jack Larsen preesident/CEO of career education Corporation dozens of times inquiring about its abusive and exploitative business practices, including fraudulent credit reporting.

School presidents always deferred these complaints to be handled by low-level staff members (similar to carl). The world is full of minions and cronies whose only function is obey orders.

But, regardless of those that blindly follow directives for purposes that lack integrity, it is our job to be able to differentiate right from wrong.

Ex employees got it right, as well as those who have taken liberty to provide notice to the public about how they were scammed by the Sanford brown.
Heed the caution offered to you. It is only to preclude you from making a huge mistake and help you to avoid trouble.

Thank you to all other reporters that provided your personal accounts of misrepresentation by the career education corporation.

Chaotic, Unprofessional, and Uncaring
I have just finished a temporary assignment at the Sanford Brown Landover campus in Maryland, and am appalled at the quality of personnel and procedures.I was brought in to help with the large number of students registering for the Session, specifically to man the receptionist desk at "Student Central" and guide the students to the appropriate area. Many of the students would come in to discuss their schedule with an advisor before registering. Unfortunately, there were no advisors assigned to particular students, only a few "general" advisors assigned to students in a few curriculums. The advisors would invariably not answer their phones when I called them regarding a student, greatly frustrating and angering the students. I would be forced to search for the advisor in question, who would usually be laughing and chatting in her cubicle and ignoring her phone.

Messages left on personnel's phones, and notes left on their desks went unanswered. After finally getting the attention of an advisor after dealing with an agitated student who had been waiting for almost an hour to talk to SOMEONE about her schedule, the advisor rolled her eyes at me and said "I don't know what I can do to help her. Tell her I'll see her in a few minutes."After 15 more minutes and more reminders from me, the advisor reluctantly left her discussion with a co-worker regarding a relative's surgery to talk to the student.

This was par for the course. I have never worked with such a bunch of unprofessional, unmotivated, or uncaring individuals. It is appalling that they have chosen to work in education. The students I dealt with appeared to be receiving a sub-par education; even the CEC students on the cusp of graduation needed basic instructions on logging onto the computers, navigating the AIU/GIBBS website, and even accessing their email!

I had to route written "appeals" from many students, and was shocked at how illiterate these students are, in addition to their fragile command of properly spoken English.As someone who has interviewed and selected staff for my employer, I would be hesitant to hire a CEC AIU graduate. I definitely will not be getting my graduate degree from them.

I absolutely believe there needs to be a class action lawsuit against CEC, if there is not one already.Go to your courthouse and find out. If not, get the media involved.My brief exposure to CEC through their New Jersey and Landover campus (and the jaw-dropping incompetence of their 'personnel') has revealed to me their inability to function in education. It was truly a shocking experience.

STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!
