To whom it may concern:All you students out there that have had problems with University of Phoenix online taking your money and miss using it or charging you for classes that you did not take and having to pay back all that money. I am trying to obtain a Class Action Against them. I need to know everyone that wants to be part of it. Feel free to email me at mkizer@triad.rr.com and I will see what I can get going or if you have attorney that you have already obtain. Please email regarding this matter so I may also get involved. Someone has to start with getting the ball rolling or they will keep doing this.

| 1. Written by Elizabeth McGuffey, on 05-11-2009 20:13 Hi, I just started class at UOP this past Tuesday, November 03,2009. The enrollment and registration process was the easiest I have ever encountered. Tuition and loans were discussed and I filled out and completed a Stafford loan and gave them my Pell information, only to find out today that: * My attendance amount was for 1 year, not my full education. * My transfer credits were not fully accepted, however are fully transferable to the prestigeous University of Georgia * I will not graduate in the promised 2 years * and my cost of attendance will end up totalling about $45,654 * now that I want to withdraw, I will owe $300+ for two days tuition (UOP considers this ammount of time 1 week) I am extremely interested in a class action lawsuit. This shady institution should not be allowed to coherse nieve people into making HUGE financial commitments with false promises and not disclosing the "full" cost of attendance. UOP is basically the Car Salesmen of Education. |

| 4. Written by lonnie r, on 27-10-2009 16:38 they lied to me about getting my money for my classes. I have called were my loans are through and they said that the money was sent back but only half of it was sent back. They say i owe them 1,600 dollars and then when i dropped out they say i owe them more money. You can contact me at |

| 6. Written by Brandon, on 23-09-2009 16:42 I owed 862.08 which I didn't dispute. They would not let me into class until I got the money. I told them I was unable to come up with the money, meanwhile they charged me 2600.00 dollars for classes I suppsosedly withdrew from but in turn wasn't allowed to attend. So I am up to over 3400.00 dollars. let me know |

| 8. Written by Sign me up for the class actio, on 22-09-2009 10:21 I took one class from University of Phoenix which ended in January 2009. I sent several emails starting in January through March 2009 indicating I was no longer interested in pursuing an education there, since the prices where exorbitant, and found that my local Community college was way more reasonable and better instructors were offered. Damage Resulting = They have to date still not unenrolled me, and according to the Dept. of Education, I can\'t get a Stafford loan processed because they are still showing me as a student. I am requesting to be withdrawn immediately as of 1/2009; this is creating undue financial hardship and not allowing me to get the financial aid I need to continue my education. This University is a business only in it for profit, and they have extremely unethical practices. |
9. Written by poormama, on 21-09-2009 18:50  They got me for $9000. I believe the UOP did at least two things: Failure to disclose prices and deceptive tactics for getting me sign financial aid papers. Very sad!! I need to find a good job so I can take care of my kids. I didn't need to go into more debt to do that. |
| 10. Written by Grace, on 19-09-2009 12:41 Weird? I have had a nice experience. Anyone I contact contacts me back immediately. If anything, they call to much to see how I'm doing. No money issues either. Sorry guys |
