There's this online SAT prep/ college admissions service i paid about 169/month for that I'm trying to cancel,
BUT THEY WON'T LET ME

+ Show Spoiler +
Dear Nam Tran,





This email is a follow up to your inquiry about cancellation of service. Please refer to the Client Acknowledgments and Certification sections of your College Admissions Assistance (CAA) Service Agreement. With respect to your request for cancellation, the Service Agreement you signed at the workshop included a standard three business-day cancellation provision which is in accordance with federal requirements. Our representative at the workshop informed you of the cancellation policy as indicated by your signature on the agreement. We regret that we cannot accept any cancellations after that time period.



As listed in the Client Acknowledgments section, you acknowledged that CAA has already incurred many of the costs necessary to initiate and provide services, therefore, failure to utilize any, or all of the items in the "Program Description," for any reason does not entitle the Client to receive a refund of monies paid or a release from payment obligations.



If you believe you have a special circumstance that you wish the company to consider, you may submit your request in writing to College Admissions Assistance, LLC, ATTN: Accounting Department, 2225 E. Randol Mill Rd., Suite 300, Arlington, Texas 76011, along with any documentation you would like us to consider regarding your specific circumstances.



We encourage you to take full advantage of the services you have purchased from College Admissions Assistance and your CAA Coaching Team stands ready to help you and your student. Please do not hesitate to contact your Coaching Team toll free at 1-866-642-4751, Monday-Friday, 7am-10pm CST, for questions or assistance with the program. If a coach is unable to take your call, please leave a message and our coaching staff will call back as soon as possible.



Thank you,



Patrick Bowen

Accounts Manager


Bullshit. When me and my dad applied to the admission we out front directly asked them if there were any cancellation fees AND we asked "We can cancel at anytime right?"
He was like LOLYASHUR ANYTIME BUDDI -fucking prick
So i skim through the carbon copy of where we signed, and yay
guess what is there in big bold letters, posed as if to mock me-
You, the buyer, my cancel this transction, in writing, any time prior to midnight of the third business day after the date of this transaction. SEe the Notice of Cancellation form on the back of this document for an...blahblah. Fuck

AND I FUCKING KNEW SOME SHIT WAS UP, but i didn't feel like wasting 5 hours( we had to wait in a waiting room rofl. ) and not at least do something for a month, so instead of paying 1,995 up front, i decided to get the 169/month contract for a year , so Hey, if i didn't want it, i could just cancel right? zzz

I don't know the details but I wouldn't give up on getting it cancelled... even if you are willing to pay some kind of fee or take some hit. Being obligated to make payments for a year on a service you don't want is pretty extreme.

edit: tell them the representative lied to you as part of your defense

Inflate the story if you have to. 'Remember' what they said to your favor.

If they really want to they can say 'signature of documentation = gg' in which case they can just claim they will take legal action against you if you don't pay, but if they are smart they won't let it get to that (don't assume they are smart though).

That's it though, making a defense, pleading , calling a lawyer.
I have no money, no time, neither does my dad.
And i've done this once before(appealing ) - to no avail-

we're pretty much just bending over and taking it.

Exactly how have they prevented you from repeatedly bugging them? No lawyer involved.

Also agree ^

Don't do it from a perspective of give me back my money; do it from a perspective of get me out of future payments.

You've got time; maybe you want to take a while to make sure you've got all the details sorted out, like maybe which bureau is actually in charge of this kind of stuff, etc.
But why?

Maybe you should take down the password / name if you plan to negotiate with them, just a thought.

God so there isn't any way you can talk to them in person? Otherwise I would just go in and argue with the guy at the front desk until the manager comes out and takes yur side, which is usually what happens.

But if it is all online...probably you are fucked, tracing the IP and firebombing them is probably the only method of recourse.

Do this.

Also, it looks like they taught you the most important part of the test: read the directions first.

I disagree. From my point of view, "If you signed the contract, you pretty much have no case."

And as for the "make them sue you" comments, keep in mind they're not going to sue you, who has basically nothing to lose, they're probably going to sue your parents. I'm sure they had to sign something too, and they actually have something to lose.

Find the name of a good tort lawyer, and see if you can go class-action on them.

Make them do something ridiculous when they come to collect, too. That way when you countersue with class-action, you can sway the jury and make them realize what a big, bad evil thing the College Board is (I'll bet most of the jury members don't like the SAT to begin with).
