Claimant's opinion: Success Path misrepresented Bellingham by saying the real estate investing was golden here when the reality is that homes for sale are hard to come by here and the market is saturated already with real estate investors and real estate agents. The price for the training is excessive. One can get a real estate license for 2000.00. Unfair practice would be encouraging potential students to use their retirement savings and plans to pay for the exorbitant cost of the training and encouraging and typing in amounts in the student's bank account that are higher than they actually have in them. High pressure sales tactics include getting the students emotions hiked up and using Billionaires and touting students who are making millions early on and then indicating to the potential student that they will only succeed with the most expensive package-the Diamond package in this case. I felt that some members of the customer service team were rude and uncaring-and were more concerned about the needs of the company than the needs of the student. the office ladies were alright though. Its an unfair practice not to refund the student who realizes they have made a mistake and doesn't even attend the training when student asks for a refund before class starts. All colleges and universities I have ever attended will let you have a full refund even on the first day of class--it is unfair to keep a large sum of money for something not received.
IF you will go ahead and send the 5,000.00 back to Discover we will see that your company is dealing fairly and that will be reflected in any postings about your company.
Not sure if you got the right information but I am requesting a full refund of the 5,000.00 put on my Discover card.
I would like to propose a new offer for Advanced Real Estate Education which is: Since I did attend the Private Three-Day Real Estate Investment Accelerator which cost me 1795.00,where I signed up for the Diamond Package I would like to ask if I could be refunded the remainder of the 5000.00 after they subtract the 1795.00. That seems a fair compromise to me.
Hello -I appreciate you looking into this claim--do you have access to my claim on PeopleClaim site? The first attachment is the contract--side one where I signed. On the back side was listed the 3 day return policy--there is some small print too on the side I signed. I prefer to have a full refund of the 5000.00 or so instead of just the 3205.00 that I proposed since Advanced Real Estate was not responding at all.--In order to send you another copy of the contract I believe I would need your email. Thank you, Susan Bradley
As a business owner, I have unfortunately been on the receiving end of chargebacks. I can tell you from experience that it is highly unusual for one, let alone TWO, credit card companies to agree that there were sufficient deficiencies in the product or contract to reverse the charge in the customer's favor.
I would therefore personally conclude that Discover's decision was based on a faulty investigation and that ADVANCED REAL ESTATE EDUCATION - SUCCESS PATH - ZURIX should refund the customer in full.
On a personal basis, I find any business model that involves getting people to apply for huge credit lines in order to finance a real estate course of dubious value to be pretty horrifying. If I'm reading this right, the claimant is a single low-income parent and Uber driver. And you got her to put $40,000 on credit cards? What exactly were you going to teach her for that? That is tuition at Harvard for two years!
My personal opinion is that this company must have the morals of a stoat.
