How can I get in contact with the lawyer for these students? I was in this school in Seattle in 1996. The worst school ever and by the time you find out, it’s too damn late. All your money signed away and the government helped the scum.
I went to this school in Tacoma for only a month in October of 1991 and they took my money and obsconded with it and then wouldn’t give me a certificate after they made me default on the federal loan.How do you get in touch with these people?
The instructor turnover was swift when I attended that school. (5 instructors in one 3 month class) Yes, I went all the way thru – 18 months! By the time I figured out how bad it was, it was too late to get any money back. My training isn’t worth more than a beginner’s book at Powell’s book store. I bought many used books after graduation just to get the jobs I wanted. It cost me $20,000 for this life lesson. What a waste of time, money, and effort! I’m embarrassed to type BCTI on my resume, but it’s the only technical training I have. I’m forced to have their name on my resume to get my jobs. I’ve had employers comment (unofficially, of course) that they can’t hire me because they’re unable verify my education. Thank you very much BCTI, you did a fine job for yourself!
I was talked into by a friend and recruiter to attend this school. My friend received pal grants and only had pay half back. So I went into BCTI and talk a financial representive and another person about the school. They wouldn’t take no for an answer. So now 8 years later and 10,000 in debt all their false promises about the education and how I would be able to get a better job than fast food were untrue. I sent out over 25 resumes a week and everyone was a rejection saying not enough experience. I am glad someone is doing something about it so other people won’t get suckered into this place. It won’t help them at all. Does anyone know how to get a hold of the lawyers I would like to know what happened. I attended the school in everett, WA
I also attended this ‘school’ and found its training remedial, at best. Everything the school taught was basics that a student could recieve in high school.
The school even attempted to talk me into doing their advanced course but it was not even worth it.
When I attempted to exit the course, I was told it was a “locked” loan and I would be forced to pay it back.
I should have been able to get in on this lawsuit but was unaware until not too long ago when I was told about it. I feel that all students should have been notified. Going to bcti was worst decision of my life and I’m still paying for it after 10 years. Infact I still owe the same amount now that I owed 10 years ago because the interest keeps accumulating. Is there any hope for us students that didn’t know.
Yes, youre basically out of luck since none were able to be contacted due to the dirty tricks of the BCTI company.
I believe we are all in agreement that this was a bad mistake to have gone through.
WOW, glad to see I’m not the only one who was shafted by this B.S. excuse of a school! I attended BCTI in Seattle from 1998-1999 prior to joining the military! I now live in Arizona, and I’m STILL being hounded by pesky debt collectors 24/7!
What I want to know is how in the world they can say that I’m over $12,000 in debt when I had applied for a PELL GRANT… which is a form of financial aid that you don’t have to pay back, yet I never even got one single penny out of it, and now I supposedly owe them the money back?? :-{
The head honchos @ BCTI claimed that they supplied me with a “special” kind of Pell grant which was money paid towards books… ones that I never even recieved for my courses! The thing I regret was me being young & gullible enough to believe them at the time!
I would really like to talk to a lawyer regarding this situation, cause I feel that I’m just one of the many former BCTI students who got ripped off by these con-artists and buried up to their neck in debt by a school that is now defunct (no surprise there!)

The lawyers name is Heather and her number is (253) 777-0799.
The reason no one was notified was that all records were destroyed by BCTI upon hearing of the lawsuit.
