Commercialized Nonsense!!!
Everyone MUST READ THIS POSTING!!! ...It is the absolute truth, A year into their program I realized it was BULLSHIT-(no academic support.. no wonder they never advertise their completion rates!!!) I refuse to pay them anymore money!!!...I'm was so disgusted, that I didn't care it appeared on my credit report..you know why?...I am now able to afford the costs of repairing my credit since I was actually able to FINISH my coursework in a focused, guided, time specific, legitimate RN program..if I could teach myself, why do I need TCN.

fraud
this is my second attempt to complaint about the college network, I am very upset at this network, I enrolled with them but 3 days later realize the mistake I had made with this network and called to cancel my enrollment only to learn I was not able to because they stated I had a contract with them. I had wrote a letter informing them I no longer wish to be a part of the college network, that was in 2009 it is now 2011 and not only is it on my credit report, but I am fearful that they will garnish my wages without giving my legal proper notice of judgement. I had read over 200 complaints on the college network and many were garnish wage with the college informing them. Please this is a very serious matter that must be look into. Their are many people that are suffering because of this network. I speak for myself and the many people that were scam by the college network, they first draw you in then convince you, then steal your money.

Scam and Fraudulent
Buyer Beware!!!
The recruiter is smooth talker. They will meet you in a pubic place or your house promising you LVN-RN BSN program in 18-24 mos. Which is not true, they leave out it depends on where you are with prerequisites. The program is actually 4-5 years and depending on how dedicated and studious you are. Plus you are paying a publishing house to test out of classes and then apply to Indiana State University. Which may or may not accept you. Only to find yourself paying a hefty amount of money for a publishing house that promises you a degree. The College Network, completely represents themselves as a school when in fact they are not. Then if you start questioning them they refer to Indiana State. Indiana will not take part unless already a student with Indiana. How could the boards of nursing ever approve this program. College Network has you sign contract, they don't all tell you about the 3 day cancellation time frame. Then you are locked into a publishing house for testing out classes. Not actual school. Think twice before signing on the dotted line. I hate to see anyone else be defrauded.

NO DEGREE, Paying for Nothing
In the year 2007, I had enrolled in their so called wonderful program. They told me they were working with the company I work for to have them pay for tuition. I received the so called modules. Open them up and started to work on the first one. Not understanding some. I called the number and emailed to get some assistance. To this day still have not received any help. Here I am paying 20, 000 for modules that sit still wrapped in plastic except for one. What can I do, obviously this program is not working. I think they should offer the money back to all of use students but good luck with that.

Rip-Off
I have been a LVN since September 2008. Shortly after graduating, I went to work with a hospital that was doing a bridge program with a local college. I was informed that the credits for the prerequisites were accepted through TCN. After thinking about it, I, too, called to cancel the courses and not long after this, I moved. I then was contacted about a pkg that was left at my last address. It was 7 modules. I immediately called and asked if I cancelled the program, why did i get these modules. I was informed that there was no docutmentation that I called and that NOW, it had been to long to do anything. After a heated discussion, I hung up my phone. Frustrated and mad, I decided I was not going to pay to be treated this way. I was contacted to make payments up to 3 times a week. I finally was able to stop these with a change to my phone number. I soon forgot all about this problem. Then a yr later, my EX husband called me at work and said that someone had contacted him in r/t MY LVN licensure. I then called the number and it was a collection agency that stated that I have 3 days to pay the balance owed, or my licensure be revoked. I contacted the Cheif Clinical Officer at the hospital and he laughed it off stating that it was not anything I should worry about. I contacted the BON and was informed that they can not take my LVN status from me. I was comforted by this and decided to continue to not pay them. Recently I was contacted 2 times in a weeks' period. I was informed that they were hired by the financial institution (but failed to inform me who or what company I owed). I politely asked them not to contact me at work and refused to give home information as I worked 8-5 and unable to address the matter. I then sent a cease and desist letter and requested loan information to the institution that i owe. I did get a response, but it was a rude one. I was given a letter that highlighted the area that stated that I had 3 days to terminate and that I would be liable for the balance. I was told that The Law office of LMM was going to send a request that my license taken due to non payment of a student loan. I was outraged! And worried at the same time. I am scared but I know that I will not give up with out a fight. I contacted the BON again and was told that they can NOT take my LVN but they can petition that it not be renewed and advised to do whatever is necessary to avoid this. I feel cheated and angry! Cheated out of an education that apparently was not worthy of my time or effort. I would love to say that it was resolved without conflict, but I see that is not happening. I have contacted the BBB. I hope others will too.

lying, scamming
Signed into this in 2006 to study LVN to RN. Paid for a year or so (can't remember exact amount of time). Became ill and had to have surgery. Am no longer able to work as a nurse so RN is not something I wish to pursue. Also realized it is another of those scams so decided to ignore it. Have not paid since 2007. Just recieved a call from someone claiming to be from the "Dept. of Justice" and that a subpeona is being sent out this Monday (today is Friday). Caller ID says out of area. After speaking to the guy who says the attorney working my case is working late and will call me in 30 minutes, I'm questioning the validity of this call being from who they say they are. I'm thinking the Dept of Justice would show their ID on a call, not block it. Gonna ask for a number and will post here, who shall I report this to? P.O me off that they can just claim to be someone they are not. I'm not paying for this, I'm not using it, have a huge box of worthless books they can have back if they want them. I looked through a couple of them. They didn't even begin to make sense to me. Any suggestions?

SCAM
I enrolled with The College Network back in April 2010. The sales rep made it sound like a dream...easy as pie to get your RN through Excelsior college. I finished 4 classes by September 2010. Then in October, I get a letter stating that my payment is going up because they are adding another class in order for me to be able to get my RN. I called them & asked them why I had to take Art of the Western World...how does that pertain to nursing in any way??!! They said that according to my transcripts that I needed another humanities elective. The part that really upset me is that my payment went up without them calling & letting me know. How is it legal for them to continue to add classes and increase everyone's payments?? I called them & asked them if I could just pay for what I had already taken, and forget the rest. I told them it was a scam. The man on the phone was very short & said "no, you have to pay on all of the CLM's that you purchased whether you have used them or not" so basically it's like paying on a dead horse. $10000.00 my loan has gone up to now. It started at $7000. It's so wonderful because my husband and I are expecting a baby, my husband is laid off, and they keep upping my payments, and now they tell me I can't get out of it. Anyone wanna get ahold of dateline with me & expose these thieving bastards???

Screwed me up
I made it clear throughout my meeting with the rep who wrote my contract that I DID NOT want a Bachelor's, only an AS and he wrote it for the BS anyways. I should have read it more carefully, but I cancelled less than an hour later to be rewritten for the AS when I came back from Ohio as I was leaving that night. He assured me he would hold it but LIED. I'm being harassed for payment of a BS I don't want and they won't cancel. My phone calls are proof I cancelled.

False information
I believe trully that the TCN is a big scam. I graduated from nursing school in 11/5/08 and because I was so interested in furthering my career to get my RN BSN that I was actually excited about the program. When the advisor came to speak to my cousin and I, he painted the pretty picture. He explained to us what classes we needed to complete and what needed to be done and how much it would cost us through TCN and then the cost through Indiana University. He never explained to us that we need to find a site and a proctor, that the modules were completly different from the test and that there is a 300.00 fee for each time you take the exam. I called to cancel for them to tell me that we only have 3 days to cancel. I have nevered used anything from them, except some of there questions to review for my state broads that was free, but it is so unfair how they are messing indiviuals credit up and and taken theirmoney.
They knew exactly what they were doing with having to cancel a contract within 3 days, that doesn't give anyone a chance to really go through the papers and everything. On top of them telling me that there isn't anything that they can do for me and I'm not even using the program.
