?On November 1, 2006, I attended a seminar conducted by Coaching Institute 11734 South Election Road Utah at Hyatt Westlake Plaza, West lake Village, California 91361. In the end of the session, I signed a service contract dated 11/01/2006 with them.

The payment for the service is as the addendum which is part and parcel of the contract with consent of both the parties . As per the receipt the Coaching institute has to charge my credit card on 11/05/2006.

This arrangement is as requested by me: In addition to that on the day when the contract was signed I requested the coaching institute for additional days for reconsiderations of the enrollment which was up to 11/05/2006.

In the meantime I came to know that lot of scams is going on at Utah and they have link with John Becks mentoring Institute, so on 11/04/2006 I changed my mind and left a voice mail to cancel my enrollment.

Now Coaching Institute admits that they have made a billing error. But they are denying giving back my $1000.00 which was fraudulently taken by me. Apart from that they are threatening that if I don't pay the full amount of $2995 they will refer the matter to the bill collection agency and spoil my credit history.

Accordingly I have received the letter from collection agency for the payment of $2995.00

I have referred the matter to Business bureau but there is no response. I have also referred the matter to Utah Consumer protection agency.

I want to take legal action agaist them what come may.

Coaching Institute Response

AUTHOR: Customer Service - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Coaching Institute has responded to Rammanohar's concerns several times. His concerns have been addressed and his situation resolved to the satisfaction of both parties. However, there are a few comments in his posted complaint that we would like to set the record straight on.

As he mentioned he enrolled in our program on November 1, 2006. As a result we charged his credit card his initial down payment of $1000 on that same day. We then had a financing addendum for the remainder of his enrollment fee. The addendum was originally dated November 1, 2006 and then changed to November 5, 2006. As these addenda are completed at the seminar and then mailed to the office on a weekly basis, Coaching Institute charged the initial down payment before receiving the original documents. We have admitted to the billing error and have since corrected the issue.

During the course of our dealings with Rammanohar, Coaching Institute put several offers on the table trying to resolve this issue. Rammanohar declined all offers and then instituted complaints with the Utah Better Business Bureau and his credit card company. Coaching Institute prevailed in the case with the credit card company and responded to each of the BBB complaints. The Utah BBB has closed their case. Rammanohar also instituted a claim with the Utah Department of Consumer Protection. Coaching Institute responded and this case was also closed.

In his comments Rammanohar claims that he came to know of a lot of scams going on in Utah and that Coaching Institute has links with John Beck's mentoring institute. Coaching Institute is not affiliated with any other company and as he has not provided concrete facts for his claim of scams we can only assume this comment was made out of retaliation for Coaching Institute not issuing a refund.

Rammanohar states that Coaching Institute fraudulently charged his credit card and took his $1000. Coaching Institute charged his credit card because he enrolled in our program. There was never any fraud to it. Rammanohar signed a contract authorizing Coaching Institute to charge his card. The only item that was ever in question was the date to actually charge the card.

As stated above Coaching Institute has since resolved all issues with Rammanohar to the satisfaction of both parties. Coaching Institute has thousands of satisfied clients across the nation and thousands of testimonials ascribing to significant life changes upon the completion of our program. We wish Rammanohar success in all of his endeavors.

Time for Class Action Lawsuit. I have evidence of fraud against Coaching Institute

AUTHOR: Dgn - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 02, 2008

I am a former employee and I have all of the seminars on DVD or VHS. I have proof of most of what they say is fraudulent.

Most of the instructors have NEVER been licensed or NEVER practiced Real Estate. The examples they use are untrue and manufactured.

The only way these people have ever made money is by getting you to write a check. Not one of them makes money from being involved in an active real estate practice.

So when the material information of what they say entices you to buy and that information is untrue that is fraud.

I just what a law firm to begin a class action law-suit. I have documents, recordings, threats from the owner and Video to prove anything.

I was terminated because I wanted to clean the company up. I told Craig Hendricks that the company would grow exponentially if we actually provided a service that was congruent with what was promised.

Most of the speakers are classified as independent contractors which is also against IRS code.

Coaching Institute had no authorization to charge my credit report on 11/1/06

AUTHOR: Rammanohar - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 24, 2007

1. On 11/01/2006 Coaching Institute has no authority to charge my credit card since there is no consideration.
2. The date to charge my credit card has been changed with the consent of both the party but inadvertently Coaching Institute has breached the contract before it is consummated( same has been admitted in writing by coaching institute).

3. The Coaching Institute has admitted the billing error with Better business bureau in writing (I have the proof).So as per the contract act any error/mistake makes the contract NULL and VOID.

#1 Consumer Comment

I thought "cancellation notices" had to be in a written form...??

AUTHOR: Thomas - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Saturday, March 24, 2007

A verbal cancellation 'notice' by voicemail etc. leaves NO paper trail, so how can you then PROVE that you actually canceled within the allotted time?

B/t/w the '3-day cooling off period' for contracts USUALLY only applies to sales contracts you sign IN YOUR HOME- not to anything you may sign at a company business office or business site.

Maybe next time you want to complete your research BEFORE you buy?.?.?.??
