            This company was very duplicitous from the beginning. They positioned themselves during the course of a seminar as an organization that had vast relationships with many colleges in ******* and that they could leverage those relationships to the student's advantages to gain them entrance to the college of their choice by suggesting other colleges had already made offers, which in fact was not true. They also said they would coach and walk students through the challenging aspects of the admissions process. For instance, they mention how they would fill out the student's FAFSA for free. Actually, there is no cost to filling out the student FAFSA at all, so they were not doing anything for free. Fortunately, my son, through his own effort, secured entry into *****************. This organization, Plan on College, did absolutely nothing to help him "plan on college." He obtained admission entirely himself and paid over $2000 to this duplicitous group of swindlers that did absolutely nothing to help him secure admission at ******.When I contacted the company and illustrated the disparity between what they claimed they would do and what they didn't do, they suggested that our son take out student loans. We didnt need to pay this company to tell us that. When I asked for a receipt for the services, they alleged they had provided, I was told that one would be emailed that day. I waited for a week. I followed up with another representative who promised she would get a receipt out immediately, but I never received one. Now, seven months later I still havent received a receipt for services allegedly rendered. Their bombastic claims during the seminar were never provided in writing. I believe the lack of a formal written contract was a deliberate attempt to evade responsibility for any of the false claims they made. I sincerely hope that the Better Business Bureau can help me recover the money I paid to this fraudulent organization.Sincerely,********************************
