High Tech Institute education

I attended this school and it no longer exist . I was not able to complete my courses to obtain my degree and now that the school is closed I can never complete it or transfer my credits that I recieved . The school is closed but I still have to pay . I feel that something should be done about predatory pop schools that make promise that haven't been keep but has changed the course of my life.

High Tech Institute student loan debt, unable to find work anywhere

I attended High Tech Institute in Kansas City, MO from April 2003 to February 2005, the time I graduated. I went through the 2 years thinking that I was going to find work and make a better life for me and I ended up not being able to find work in Massage Therapy nor anywhere else and being underestimated over and over and over again. What's worse was that not long after that, I was getting harassing phone calls from the school demanding their money back. I told them tearfully that I didn't have a job and I was pregnant with my first child at the time. They had no dawn sympathy and was still demanding their money back and the six months wasn't up yet. Now I'm $25, 000+ dollars in debt with 2 more mouths to feed and on welfare because of being overestimated everywhere I go. So far I'm working with a debt consolidation company since all of this started and hoping to get my payments low enough to pay these loans back.

Have you found a attorney because there are many of us that want justice. We need to strike back at all that are involved with this fraud, which has lawsuits across the nation. Nashville seems to be the only state that will not stand up for it's students or citizens. We need help in the worst way.

This is for anyone thinking of attending a private institution, i.e. high tech institute, everest, devery, etc. What people don't realize is that these schools are all about the money. When they sign you up they make a plan to get as much of your money as they possibly can. You give them he go ahead to screw you by letting them take out loans for you which...

High Tech Institute awful place

Yes High Tech Institute is full of incompetent, lying employees! I was approved for a loan, and they failed to send in the promissory note paperwork, and my loan was canceled. I re-applied with added information they needed, and the lovely brainless ###s that worked in the Finance Dept., faxed the paperwork, but didn't take the time to verify that they received it at the other end. The loan company didn't get it, so they canceled the loan a second time. They stated I needed a co-signer if I wanted the loan, which was supposed to be 4% interest.

Several weeks before I was to graduate, they told me I come up with $900.00, or they will eject me from school. I was forced to sign and "in-house" loan with 5% interest. I finished school, but they never had a graduation for us. THEY FORGOT! They even took 2 extra weeks to complete my paperwork, causing me to miss the deadline to apply for my massage license.

When they printed my diploma, it said I passed the Dental Assistant program. Told them it was not correct, and they said "People make mistakes!" They sent me the correct diploma, but never asked for the wrong one back!

They even let a student stay in school when he missed more classes than the state allows, because he paid for it! They are law breakers...

well let me say that i am still trying to recover from this horible financial situation this school put in. the people at that school made alot of promises to alot of students that they couldnt keep. they said that they would place you in a job AND MAKE SURE YOU WERE WORKING.
When i started going to this sooooooooooooo call school i was told that i would only have to do 1 yr because i already had a BA degree. I wanted to do Surgical Tech. Well i was shocked to find out that some of the teachers didnt even have half of the qualification i had educationally, but instead only had experience in the field .It's been over 5 yrs now still have not gotten a job in the field. Instead i have a bigggggggggggggggggg loan of $28000 to pay back for nothing. I wish i had never heard about this school .I will not recommend anyone to go to this institution. you will be wasting your time and your money.PLEASE DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I MADE.

UPDATE: I received a 1098-T Form in the mail yesterday stating that I was given credit for paying on my student loan. I graduated in 2004, and have not step foot in that place since! They gave more credit on my account, and come to findout, they were posting it to the WRONG person! Good thing I called, or that person would be very upset. This goes to prove that Hight Tech Institute hires ###s, and they cant get anything right! DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANY EDUCATION!
