This is a formal complaint against The Keystone School, *************************************************. According to Keystone my account has sporadic missing payments from September 2023 until Present day. I have made several attempts to talk to **************** Representatives. One major problem, according to the Keystone **************** Representative; ********************** have changed to a new billing system which is Shoplify. The original billing system was Stride. We were not informed in writing about this new billing/payment system in writing I was made aware of this during a telephone conversation. These two systems do not mirror one another and I can't access the old system only the ** **** can view that from the back end and I was never given access to the new Shoplify billing system. Therefore, I can't see where my daughter's scholarship was applied. Their are errors in their billing system because they're still trying to hit a card that I had on file when I initially enrolled my daughter into school. I have called immediately several years ago to have that card removed and I have always made my payments manually. I have just received an email today stating that they attempted to hit that same card and will try again in the next few business days. So the system is going to add all of the fail attempts as an ongoing outstanding balance. In the past, when I would get notifications like this I would just manually go in the original system and just make a payment with another card. In addition, she has maintained a GPA above a 3.5 consistently from middle through High School. Honestly a scholarship should have been offered and awarded every year. My daughter needs her final transcript to be sent her college and her diploma sent to her. I'm disabled, Single mother on a fixed income and I don't have the ability to pay that large sum at once. I don't have a card to make a payment just a cashiers check. Keystone is being unreasonable.Customer Answer

I'm complaining because The Keystone School their Information System Technology Security System (Billing) do not mirror one another causing billing errors that's creating risk management for the consumer. I have submitted my supporting correspondence but any further communication needs to be done over the phone. As I stated before, I do not have access to neither the old billing system nor the new one. Please submit my complaint so that I can talk to someone in upper management with broader decision making scope versus a team lead in the billing department. Thanks in advance. Looking forward to a positive reply.Initial Complaint

Our child no longer uses their product, so we've been trying to cancel since October of 2024. Every month they continue to charge us. They make you wait for over an hour to talk to a real person, and then somehow get 'disconnected' so you lose your spot. I've had my husband file disputes with our Credit ************* but K12 (Stride) is deceptive in their efforts of letting the consumer decide to no longer use their product.Initial Complaint

Enrolled my son in this school for his Senior year. This is a "private home school program". The so-called school is impossible to deal with, is incredibly unorganized, the staff are exremely rude, the teachers are the same way. My son decided a month in that this wasn't the route for him and we enrolled in another program. I did not sign a contract and yet they are somehow charging my debit card continuously, refuse completely to withdraw him and say they will charge the remaining 9 months and will not help him with assignments. This is not a normal school. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY BEFORE ENROLLING YOUR CHILD. They charged my debit card twice consecutively regardless that we have not attended since early October. This is a huge mistake.Initial Complaint

I had unenrolled my son from K-12 Academy mid July while I was on the phone with them. They said they had already charged me my first month and we're gonna credit me the $532 but instead they charged me again in August for another $532 and never refunded the charge from July , I have been requesting refund since the beginning of August. They say that the refund will not go back on the original payment method and so I have requested a check to be mailed and now I get no response back. Below is the email chain beginning of August:Hello, I'm trying to reach someone in the billing department. I've been billed for two months of school that we aren't enrolled in.Sent from my iPhone On Oct 1, 2024, at 1:29?PM, Private School ***************** ********************************************* wrote: ?Good afternoon, Thank you for your email and I apologize you were unable to connect with one of our agents.Your order has been canceled and will no longer be charged.A refund was submitted on 09/24/2024 in the amount of $1064.00.

The company refuse to refund me my money for three cancelled sessions and they keep making up excuses for not returning my money. I cancelled the tutoring sessions in more that enough time and they haven't given me my money back. I have read the reviews and people describe them as crooked.Initial Complaint

We were moving across country from ** to **. I called K12 in July and asked if my kids could be enrolled in AL because we were only going to FL temporarly and were looking for a house in AL. He said we could. I began the process of enrolling and uploading documents. My 9 yr old was accepted but my 11 year old was not. 2 weeks later the online school in AL said they could not except the 11 because of residency and that my other son would probably get cut for the same reason. Concerned I again spoke with K12 about what I found out. They opened and case for it to find out for sure. Many phone calls later and 2 cases unresolved they told me to enroll them in **. It took multiple people and phone calls to finally get my one son withdrawn from the **. During the process of enrolling both boys in ** Cyber Academy they repeatedly denied my documents for different reasons that they did not explain to me. They insisted I have a FL drivers license before I arrived in **. I had to supply 3 different documents for residency. I would accept a document for one child but not the same one for the other. No one at the school would email or call me back. I had to message them on ******** and then got mostly generic responses. The employees are friendly but very uniformed. When we were finally approved it was the 2nd week of Sept. 2 months after we started and the supplies did not show up for another week. I decided I was fed up and my kids were already behind. I sent an email to each of their homeroom teachers only hearing from one. She sent me the form to withdraw. I filled one out for both of them and received confirmation via email. Now we are getting emails telling me my kids are no shows for school and quoting the law to me. I am beyond angry and frustrated with this company. I have done everything they asked and they can't even to the bare minimum. I want them withdrawn immediately and to stop being harassed. I have already enrolled them in public school 2 weeks ago.Initial Complaint
