I signed up for modeling classes at the Easton Mall location in Columbus Ohio on the advice of a friend who went there for acting.
After taking one run way class and one commercial class I lost my job and called them immediately to see if they could "freeze" my account until I could get back on my feet after finding another job and start making my payments again. I was told that they would do this, but that I could not attend anymore classes until I was current on my payments. Fair enough. Then, the next thing I know, I'm turned over to a collection agency demanding payment in full. I could not do that as I could barely pay my rent.
I was so upset. Here I had paid out $386.00 for two classes and 2 paper workbooks and now I could'nt go to class and they wanted me to pay the remainder of my contract, yet, even after I paid it, they would'nt let me return to finish out the classes. So in the end, I've paid out $1300.00 for absoluetly nothing.
Why? Because they found out who my new employer was, had me turned over to a legal department and threatened to garnish my wages.
Oh and the friend that went to them for acting... she never recieved one casting call from that company. A waste of her money as well. Last I heard, she went in to check up on her comp cards, and they didn't have any of them out on display for agents to view for potential work.
This has been the worst experience of my life.
I'm a single mother and this company literatly took food out of my son's mouth just to guild their office.
If they were anywhere in Indiana, I would be the first person to picket their office.
So word to the wise...JC Center....stay out of Indiana!!

Hello,
I have possible suggestions since this was posted in 2004.
You usually have up to two years to sue someone and possibly longer in some cases depending on which court you go through (small claims, federal)
You should be able to sue them for theft since they charged you and would not let you complete the classes. If the court finds that the jurisdiction is in their office home state of Ohio, you can contact a lawyer in Ohio to show up on your behalf and they may charge lower fees for this.
Did they contact you through the mail with a misleading postcard or flyer to influence you? If so it might be considered mail fraud which is a federal crime.
Did they ruin your reputation and make you the laughter of your community b/c you ran and told everyone you would be a model? I know and insurance company that got sued millions for causing someone to loose their house and ruined their reputation as a solid homeowner, emotional stress, etc.
Just some thoughts good luck.
