High Tech Institute review: School loans 107

I graduated in 2008 with Applied of Science degree of Medical Billing and coding. Never got the opportunity for an interview. Tried to get a copy of my records from school, but they couldn't locate it. I owe $38k in loans and have nothing to show for it. The school lost all accreditation while I attended. So no job was interested in the school I attended.

I graduated 10 years ago still haven't got my transcripts I had a 3.9 the whole time. And when confronted them called everyone said there not available go up there I get excorted off the property.⛑️ took my monetary funds and screwd me... how can I get my funds back...

I graduated from High-Tech over 10 years ago and haven’t been able to use my degree anywhere. Not even in my home stated. My credits weren’t and still aren’t accepted anywhere even the community colleges won’t take my credits. Now I have all this debt for a student loan. This school has been a big rip off.

Trying to get a job my education is always a issue. Who do I contact. The school also said I withdrew and didn’t graduate, I have a degree, pictures with me and my family members plusI even received a cord. I wasted 2 1/2 years of my life.

I attend high tech institute in Nashville the school closed and I couldn’t get a transcript

I went to HTI in Sacramento in [protected]. I graduated with my surgical tech license. They had offered a retraining program if you took time off. I got pregnant in 2006 and when I went to re-train in [protected] I was told that they don't do that here. There was no help available. Pretty quickly after that the school was bought out by Anthem. I was never able to become certified and unable to use my license. Now I have a mountain of debt and no license to show for it.

Need my student loan to be voided with this school. Never got hired anywhere after I graduated. All there promises failed us and put us in debt. The location in Las Vegas,NV is closed down.

I attended HTI 2001 and never got my diploma. Now that the school is closed. I had to take all my courses over. I was not able to get a job as a medical assistant, because you need to be certified through the state. I also attended Ashford university and none of my credits transferred. I am in BSN RN school and none, I mean absolutely none of my credits transferred. I basically had to start over. Please help how I can get my loans deleted.

Can I get the email for the Attorney who is working on this law suit

I think my loan should be forgiven. I never received my diploma after I passed my course. And they were supposed to contact me for the graduation ceremony. They never contacted me to pick up a diploma. Shortly after they closed down. So I need my transcript for proof .

What are we to do exactly?

I attended HTI from [protected]. It was a complete waste of time and money for me. They promise job placement but do very little if anything.

I attended the Phoenix branch in 2003, I would also like some resolution please advise. chrismg84@gmail.com

I attended Hi-Tech in Orlando, fl in [protected] for X-ray/MA program. When I was applying and throughout schooling I was told that I could take my AS degree to then Polk Community College and apply it to the RT program. This was a lie since Polk Community College (now Polk State College) have never and will never accept degrees from Hi-Tech. I was also told that they would have ongoing classes and career placement for life. Well, the school closed down. I paid between $400 and $700 a month cash to the school, then had a Pell Grant, also had to get a subsidized and unsubsudsidized loan to pay for my school. I had no contact or control of the loan money - it went straight to the school. I was over $25, 000. I have a high interest rate and it is now close to $50, 000 I owe. I was also told that the amount of money I would make was a whole lot lower than in reality and I was never able to make the $700 a month payments. All they could lower than $500 a month. Not too long ago I was told by Navient (credit collector) that since they couldn't look up the school online (active website) and that I can't further my education with my degree that I would be able to have my debt forgiven. This also was not the case. I fell I was duped into a FOR profit school. My cousin went to UCF in Florida during the same time frame and got her BS degree for less than $14, 000. The teachers there were high school level. I actually had to teach the math class because the teacher couldn't figure out how to get the class to understand the math. My email for communication on this issue or for reference is kgailcalabro@tampabay.rr.com

I attented HTI in 2006 for pharmacy tech and my daughter attended in 2010 for vet tech. They stated we would always have lifetime classes to get refreshers on, job placement, anything we need to keep our careers current. That has yet to happen once for either of us. We owe thousands upon thousands of dollars at a extreme interest rate with no end in sight. This is my email for reference

I had attended High-Tech Institute in January of 2009 for a medical assistant degree. When I first went to sign up for classes, they told me that the degree was accredited, and I could have transferred to any other school after I graduated from High-Tech. The medical assistant course was 6 months long and I would have to complete 250 to 300 hours of medical hours for internship in order to graduate. The last month before completing the 6 months I was brought into the office; I was told by the administrator I had to pay a rough estimate of $3, 000 for lab fees and other cost before I went into completing my hours of medical time. I had told the administrator I was unaware of this and I couldn’t pay that amount due to my living status by paying bills, rent, and hardship of losing jobs back and forth. I had to drop out of the program. I tried going back to High Tech Institute to complete the program in 2011 and I was told I would have to start all over again and pay out of pocket the money I owed and start the program all over again.
Later, I received a letter by the Department of Ed/Loan Servicing (PHEAA) that I had to pay $14, 079 which was by 2 different student loans. Unsubsidized loan of $9, 734 and Subsidized Loan of $4, 345.

I went to High Tech in Las Vegas Nevada. I went there and was told I could further my career but it had to be on there online school. I was also told that I had to have others sign for me and when I told them no, they said the only way I could continue was to take out these massive loans I still own. Please contact me.

I'm Jason Keith, went to High Tech Institute in Nashville, TN during 2006 & 2007. I would like for you to contact me via my email and cell #, jsn26blue.gold@gmail.com [protected], so I may join with your suit.
Thank you

I attended High Tech Institute, Sacramento California from September [protected]. I was taken from class multiple times, and told by financial aid that I needed to pay out of pocket, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to continue school. As an 18 year old, I was scrambling to find money in a city where I was away from my family. I did not realize how unprofessional this truly was.
Years later, and here I am with an associates degree that will not be recognized by any other institutions. A total waste, because I cannot take any steps to further my career because I am not allowed to become a certified surgical tech.

Thank you!

I attended the Memphis TN location. They did not issue me any refunds. They had me take out 4 loans that are collecting different interest rates and payments.The teachers where awful and once I graduated they placed me at a call center where you didn't even need a degree to work. The work environment was like a day club with people's coming in smelling like smoke. The school never gave me my certification exam due to they kept putting me off. I regret going to High-tech Institute it was a rip off and I was told the were non-profit. Then after graduating, years later I found out they are a for profit school. Add me to this lawsuit please angeleyezs29@gmail.com. They screwed is all with lies to get us to attend.

I attended Hi Tech Sacramento in 2008/09, graduated with Surgical Tech diploma. School closed or was just gone within months. Never got an ounce of job placement assistance. I graduated with academic excellence and never worked as a ST. Now I still have an 18K loan which I refuse to pay. I too was scammed. Has ANYONE ucessfully gotten this discharged off this record? My email is Knjranch@msn.com
Please email me or add me to a class action lawsuit.
Thanks,

I was in class. it was my 4th quarter medical assistant. I got pulled out of class lead to the finical aid office and told I needed to apply for more loans to continue. I was confused because we did all of this before I started. I received grants but still had to take out numerous loans from various banks to cover tuition/book fees. this was all my enrollment process. so for them to pull me out of class to tell me I need to request more loans was very confusing. I thought it was something I had to do. after being denied for multiple loans I was told I needed a co-signer. 5 family members was denied so I asked if I could just do monthly payments for the 1, 100 that I needed to continue. I was told I would have to pay 7 hundred and something its been some years so I do not remember the exact number but I needed to pay that by the next day or I couldn't return. I couldn't pay that I was 18 with a 2year old rent 795. 5years later they took my income tax for 3years until they got there 15,?. so I ended up paying 15,... + the 149 for my stethoscope that I never received because I had to leave before it arrived and when I called to ask about my refund I was told it was non refundable because I dropped out.

I will be sending another letter to the Department of Education with a copy to our current President since there has been no response from anyone. My and everyone's desperation have not been helpful. Seems they've been scammed, too? How do they get benefit from this school besides taking all of us under? This is huge. It involves lending, IRS, some sort of connection between this institution and the IRS. If I got a refund from the tax department, the school would take it and vice-versa. This cannot go on.

I also was scammed at the Orlando campus I went in in about 2001 but they told me I could work at hospitals as an X-ray and my classes would transfer to college and all was a lie I never received a refund for grants at that school please email thisisus021413@gmail.com if there’s a lawsuit
