      I enrolled in a class this year. Phoenix requested payment from my employer as I gave Phoenix a voucher. My employer paid them on March 25th. They are harassing me about owing the money when I have proof I emailed them that my employer paid two days after it was billed. They say I am responsible. This happens EVERYTIME I enroll in a class.
