    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I submit a ticket to withdraw my minor student on 11/15/23. I was told that if she withdrew, there would be an early cancellation fee of $194.90. I assumed I would receive a bill for this and never did. I then in February 2024 began getting phone calls from a third party regarding the $194.90 demanding that I make a payment over the phone. I advised them that I had never received a bill and that I would prefer to be contacted by Ashworth. The person I spoke with stated that they would mail me the bill, I gave them my current address to mail it to. I never received the bill. Then on 4/8/24 I receive a collection attempt in the amount of $1675 on behalf of Ashworth College. I still have yet to receive any communication, nor any bill via mail explaining these charges. To this day I have not received any itemized bill showing proof of these astronomical charges, nor have I received any communication from Ashworth themselves. I want this debt collection removed and for the cancellation fee of $194.90 to be sent to me via mail with payment options listed.

    I have been attempting to get enrolled in Bachelors Program. I have an associates degree from their facility. I need to know what it will take financially and time wise in order to complete my degree. They refuse to let me know this information until I place a $2000 payment. I have called mutiple times. Emailed and even tried the online chat. I have made phone appointments that get cancelled by them last minute and they tell me to contact the other department who refuses to speak to me. Apparently they will only enroll you if you agree to whatever terms they want to surprise you with. If I am going to have to start over with you, then I will go to a traditional school.
