I enrolled with Pennfoster about a year ago for the Bookkeeping career. I started fine untill I noticed the lack of material they send you.They make it sound when you enroll as if it was something like University of Phoenix or something like that just more affordable, but once you start getting in to the course the lessons look to easy to be true...I lost interest and I cancelled the wholething, tried to call them several times but they were always closed.
A few months after I started getting collection notices from USBC which is their collection agency and they were ruining my credit, I called them to let them know that I cancelled before and they told me I had to pay half of the tuition, that "might as well" I should finish the course. I ended up paying $337.00 since they where harrassing me and ruining my credit report...But this report is to let you all know that not all the info is out there is true.

read the fine print

I'm doing extensive research on this company and this complaint is numourous.
When enrolling in small print it does say that there is a fee for cancelling the course.
I have also learned that this school is more for added adult education than "this school's going to get me the job of my dreams". That's why it's so affordable.

YOU SHOULD HAVE FINISHED THE PROGRAM
AUTHOR: Margaret - (U.S.A.)

I have taken 2 programs and earned 2 diplomas from them; Travel Agent and Administrative Assistant. The books are a little thin but there is a lot of good information later in the programs. I am getting ready to take another one, Creative Writing. You should possibly go ahead and finish because 700.00 is not a lot of money.
