Business ProfileforSouthern Careers Institute

I began going to school for Southern Career Institute February of 2022. I wanted to further my career as a Medical billing and coding associate. I was harassed and showered with great incentives. The loan that was quoted, is now 3x more than what was provided. Also another incentive was we were to choose 1 free certification after we passed this was a lie as well. I also have not received my Southern career diploma and I graduated February 2023, unfortunately only receiving a text message letting me know that I graduated. *** continues to promote a certification that is not worth anything. NO company honors a certified billing Coding specialist (CBCS) certification. I am in now in debt $9,000 for this certification and school. Upon research and networking the certification means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. This is a case of predatory lending. What is Predatory Lending? Predatory lending practices, broadly defined, are the fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair tactics some people use to dupe us into loans we cant afford and provide incentives. I have asked multiple members of the *** career services staff are there any alumni we could speak with to see if there was any hope. I received no answer. This is completely not fair, and no one is acknowledging me at Southern Career Institute. There are many other students affected but didnt know which route to take. I hope this complaint reaches the right individual. Please help I really would like the better business bureau to do research and investigate. Or actually call *** and listen to the lies. Please help me or others either shut down this part of the certification that they are offering or remove my loan from this school Im willing to compromise and have a student loan towards something that can help me but I will NOT allow my money to be stolen away from me and ruin my credit, while this school is still in business ruining peoples lifes.
