I've been making a list of reporters covering the stories, as well as listed reporters for cities where CCi has a branch or where a Socle client is located. So at this point hundreds of folks are going to get a long, long email with links to other articles to catch them up and to some of the more shocking allegations posted on this site. In many cities (including mine) there hasn't been a lot of media coverage of the CCi malfeasance and company implosion. I got paid today, but also accepted another job and putting in my notice Monday. I want to leave with a clear conscience knowing that potential students are made aware of what they are getting themselves into. Good luck to all employees. See ya!

Anonymous22834: Better late than never when it comes to doing the right thing, no? I'm not sure why you're so upset about it.
22810: No, simply pointing out the fact the person didn't feel so righteous when collecting the paycheck. It's only after he/she found a new job now has the courage to do what is right. Which is chicken poop. Get off your high horses before you're bucked off.
22817: Putting aside your bizarre statements ("feasting on the tears"...seriously?), what is your obsession with people writing to Socle clients. It really seems like you are trying to egg them on. Are you from a rival financial aid services company?
I will be feasting on the tears of all the bitter folks and those people who think writing Socle clients is going to matter.
22808: So superstitious as well as a blathering, foul-mouthed idiot, eh? Why am I not surprised? You were probably hired because the sorts of students our Jerry Springer ads attract can relate to you.
Obviously you weren't outspoken while collecting your paycheck from CCI. So stfu and move the f#^*% on. Be careful because Karma is going to get you as well. Righteous idiot!
22804: It could be an opportunity for them then. They get their taxpayer funded stipends, CCi goes out of business (in all likelihood), and their loans get forgiven. Win win! Well, except for the taxpayers, as usual. Maybe a new admissions approach?
Let's be realistic about one thing here. Not all students sign up for the education. I see 10% to 45% of students in each of my classes not participate with any regularity (I.e. NOT AT ALL.) is it possible they are only signing up for the stipends?!?!? They sure aren't intending to get the education that they have paid huge amounts for.
My campus is still enrolling and many of the students are not aware of the issues. I want to make sure they are aware, it's only fair to give them warning. If they still want to take a chance and enroll, that's on them.
What's the point? The school is already being closed/sold/shut down. If prospective students are somehow not aware of the scenario based on the currently avaiable information, how will your strategy help them? I don'r support the decisons and actions of management that caused this mess, but it seems that perhaps your energy might be better utilized preparing for your next position. Reminds me of the SNL skit years ago "Franco is STILL dead!".
Lake Sumter State College - Leesburg, FL (outside Orlando metro);
Texas A Grayson College - Denison, TX (outside Dallas metro); Grace Divinity - Fayetteville, NC (those are the Socle clients I know of from CSC, hiring CCi to manage their financial aid and default prevention)
