    How do I get my money back? I have paid them in full and I have gone on and got my AA in Graphic Design and am no getting my BA in Graphic Design! I do know that none of the credits associated with the BCTI were accredited. Please tell me what to do!

    I did not attend this school but I see a parrallel in a controversy in the Minnesota University I enrolled in back in May 2009. I was told I could take classes excerated and that I would have access to loans amounts. I had made it clear to admissions and advising I to meet my goals and limits on aid where I had transferred in 133 credits and that I had no income or money for college and that the plan required full aid by grants and loans. Financial aid then after the 14 day periods top cancell loans nullified the right to take excess loads, refused to make corrections to error in add on budgts for travel to college, refused to permit acces to loans for all text books, and refused to permit loans to pay for required Praxis tests. Instead financial aid office began to solicit complaints to file in its colleg of education even before I had filed necessary paperwork for the ed program. The financil aid officer even filed statements that in my mental state I should nopt be placed to work in any school. Some of the solicted complaints were from admissions and advising staff who claimed that I did not dress appropriately, that I stunk, and made comments also that I should be allowed to work in a school. One stated they they could not beleive that I was subbing at a school. I always take a bath every day. No one ever complianed about me at the school and wanted me to come back as a para. However the Education director based on the dipositions started by financial aid claimed he would reccomend against licensure and any future jobs. So who would continue to pay the college or honor these loans based on bad faith acts. So does anyone know a laywer who would be interested in a pro-bono case in which substatiantal evidence and rebuttal evidence has been gathered. PS Northern Minnesota. I have been using FOIA requests to gather info. I need advice about cancellation of federal loans and other loans based on bad faith conduct, misrepresentations, and or fraud. I recorded some of the threats and mistreatment as a particpant to the conversations. Right now it appears my attempts to resolve the matter are a fising expedition by the University. What a mess!

    I was divorced after 20 years of marrage I had been a stay at home mom with no computer knowledge and very little skills in the workplace.As a single parent with very little income I heard about BCTI through a friend and made an appointment I was told that if I inrolled in the School it would change my life and when I graduated they would place me in a much higher paying job then what I presently had.I went through the 7 1/2 months of training and toward the end of the training gave notice at my present employer expecting this great job, they did get me an interview with a decorating company in Seattle I went for the interview and found out it payed less then what I was making. I returned to the School several times asking if they had anything else, the receptionest told me it would take a little longer because of my age. It has been a struggle through the years more so then before I started the school because I never got anything they promised and I am also indebt for over 8 thousand dollars to the Direct School Loan. Do you know how I can get in contact with a lawyer about this School.
