Westwood Class Action Lawsuit :)

"Hi there, I saw your videos reguarding being scammed by Westwood and thought you should know that there is a class action lawsuit against the school for all their shady practices. I, like you, had fallen victim to them, thinking that this was a promising school that could provide me a great education for the future. About a year and a half in, I started reading and observing things that were really suspicious and decided to pull out. The lawyer's name involved in the lawsuit is James Hoyer. On his page, he asks students and former employees to share their story and says that his office will contact them promptly. You may want to try this. It's time to bring Westwood down!!! Hopefully the settlement will be large enough where Westwood will have no choice but to shut down for finnancial reasons...that way that can't scam anymore students."

I also was sickened when I found out how much I was going to have to pay Since I could not get any family members to co-sign for loans for me, I accepted the in-house loan at 18% interest. I quit school after 2yrs because every time I just thought about how much I was paying for school (now this is not including student loans from Sally-Mae to cover the other half) made me phsically ill. Times I didn't sleep at all knowing all this after the fact. I also received mail for Williamson and Fudge Attornies saying that I had to pay 1200 dollars a month til my bill was paid. well needless to say I am paying $50.00 a month on this loan which who even knows if interest is still being tacked on to it- (probably)and not able to afford my Sally Mae loans. So basically life is worse than when I started school. If I would have known full well everything involved in this mess, I would have never gone. Now I am stuck up above my head in debt that I will never be able to get out of. I will only have the American Dream if I win the Lottery and then Williamson and Fudge and Sally Mae will come and take that and say I owe a couple million on interest.!
ReplyDeleteive been going to westwood college in houston since march of 2009 and grad date is march of 2010. when i did my financial ain i had an outstanding balance of $1045.00 i decided to make payments instead of getting another loan. in august 2009 i went in to make a payment and i asked for my balance and the lady tells me that i havnt payed anything and ive been paying $150 a month since april 2009 to july 2009!! what is westwood doing with my money?!?! how is it possible that westwood doesnt have not 1 of my reciepts??? the problem is that my car got stolen and my reciepts were in there. what should i do?
ReplyDeleteI would like some information on getting involved in this situation with westwood college, already graduated, and am bitng the bullet. In the end because I did keep track of their messed up accounting practices, they had to send me a check for over $7000 dollars, and I feel cheated from this school, they did not teach the software that was thrown at us, the projects were way advanced for students that couldn't get help and the tuition was insane.

ReplyDeleteI graduated January 2009, since then, I have not been able to get a job in the field i studied for, and stuck with a $65,000.00 bill. and the school dont want to help you after you graduated.
ReplyDeleteWestwood is trifling!!!I took out loans to cover all of my expenses imagine my surprise when i find out i still owed them money when I LEFT THE SCHOOL. they tried to get me to take out another loan like several other students. And now my debt in collection and i cannot afford to pay. I can not even go to school and the credits dont transfer over
ReplyDeleteI hate Westwood! They have ruined my life and my credit. I am knee deep in debt because of this scam! I have two kids and will probably never be able to buy a house so that they have a backyard to play in. I would like to sue the pants off of them. They have robbed me of my credit, job security and dignity. I understand what you are all going through.
ReplyDeleteI have been going to Westwood College since Jan 2008. Since then I have been pushed around and told many different things. I was told in that beginning that given the fact that I am getting my BS in Criminal Justice that I would make 60,000 to start a year. The guy that told me that seemed more like a sale rep than a career advisor! Now that I am almost complete I am having a hard time finding a job and I have at least 50,000 in debt. When I asked about all my bills and tuition print out they gave me the run around. Now this is my dilemma...I am not sure if they can hold up to their end of their promises given that they aren’t sending me anything career wise. I keep having a problem too with the tuition thing...where is all my money going and how can they get away with charging so much and still being accredited through the state? If anyone know what I can do or what my next steps will be that would be great! I am not looking to get out of paying if the education isn’t a waste of my time but I don’t think that Westwood College is really somewhere where anyone should go…It seems to me that they are out there for the money and not the education of the students!
ReplyDeleteIs there a lawsuit against westwood? If so I would like to join I have also be wrongfully deceived by them
