      In 2021, I attended a 3-day educational program for online trading. The company is called Online Trading Academy, (OTA). At the time I was very interested in the opportunity to make money this way, they made it sound very easy. I opted into their program and provided a down payment of $600.00. I sat down with one of the representatives who provided me information on the online program. Not once did he ever explain to me that I was financing these classes. He had me sign these contracts without fully going over what it entailed and did not give me time enough to read and go over them for myself so that I can get a better understanding of what I was about to get into. I was not aware of any cancellation, refund or anything. $181.00 monthly was to be automatically taken from my account. A couple of weeks went by, and I found it very difficult and overwhelming I tried reaching out to the person that was a representative, (mentor) they assign you to with problems that I was having but they were no longer reachable once I signed on. I did not attend any of their online classes. I did not use their product. a year later I see they transferred $6000.00 to a debt collector OMEGA RMS. I am not asking for a refund for the $600. I just need for them to remove this off of my credit report as I never took advantage of their product. I have been trying to reach Online Trading Academy by phone and it is very difficult.

      Joined a workshop in April and was promised $50 amazon gift card emailing me after 45 business day, yet there is nothing. No one pick up phone or reply email. When a company scam people to join without delivering their promises, what can you expect from their quality service?
