      10/08/2021 $1500 I enrolled in a program to help pass a dental school admissions exam test called the **** The company guarantees a score will be obtained. I had military obligations where I was tasked to deploy and the company will not give me my money back. I also took the exam and did not receive the score they guarantee and the company will not give me my money back. I am a single mom with two kids I need this money to use towards more course study material because I need to pass this exam that caused $415. I honestly just want my money back, the company guaranteed a score and will not give me my money back. I have been asking for a refund and they keep giving excuses that do not apply. They said I have to take a practice exam in 5:15 minutes but I use disability services so I get unlimited time on the exams. Then they offered to enroll me in a course when I came back from being deployed which I finished and took the official exam and I did not get anywhere near the score guarantee they promise. The number for the score they guarantee is a scam and I just want my money back.

      My complaint is against online tutoring with ********************************My 15 year old daughter tried to subscribe to their online tutoring service using our credit card but it seemed to not work because upon trying to access the online service it denied enrollment. We gave up and ended up using a face-to-face tutor elsewhere.A few months later we noticed a monthly $179.99 subscription charge from their company. There is no way to contact them by phone so I sent them a message asking them to cancel and refund, they didn't reply. After a few months and contacting once or twice more, they finally replied. They charged me monthly for 7 months starting October 2021 and only refunded me the last two months which are the March and April 2022 charges. When I questioned their integrity stating why they didn't reply to earlier messages or refund all the charges if they can clearly see themselves that I used none of the allocated monthly tutoring hours I "bought", they simply didn't reply, as usual. I want the total amount charged refunded to me, so the remaining $179.99 charged monthly for the 5 months they didn't refund, a total additional refund of $899.95.I also think they should be ashamed that a service that exists to help kids improve in school is greedy in such a manner.I'm attaching the last email Is sent them 2 weeks ago, and they of course didn't reply since then.

      We've reviewed the account and notified the customer. The charge was an error and the student never used the ********************** We've issued a full refund.
