Here is a report in the Detroit Free Press about a class action settlement for court reporting trade school students at the Academy of Court Reporting, which is owned Delta Career Education Corp. The report is a bit sketchy. I’m assuming that the school is in Michigan, though that’s by no means clear. The settlement for more than 3200 students is valued at $32 million. The report indicates that the case was filed in 2007.
The settlement caught my eye because I continue to represent trade schools students pursuing claims against Western Culinary Institute, which is owned by Career Education Corp. I hope to do a brief update on the progress of that case later this week.

My daughter started classes at the Acadamy of Court Reporting and Technology here in Cleveland Oh in January of 2011. As school was going on we later found out that none of the credits would transfer to any other school so my my daughter decided to enroll in another school, so after about five months she left school. Then the reality set in when I saw the bill for the short stay, at 18,000 thousand dollars which I think is way out of line for the amount of time there and I have am on the hook for, do I have a way to fight this and get back most of that money, can you give me some direction.
You need an attorney licensed in Ohio who handles consumer fraud cases. Best bet is through the National Association of Consumer Advocates, NACA.net
