HLA refunds parents that pull their kids early?
--- End quote ---


Their refund policy in 2000 was to refund all but the current month and some incidentals. I found this out AFTER the HLA rep testified via phone that my ex would forfeit $110K of pre-paid tuition if our son came home at Xmas and I was requesting. He was enrolled just a month earlier, the second week of November.
I've been contacted by no less than 6 people over the years who were hiring lawyers to get their pre-paids back. The problem with refunds isn't just a current issue due to their financial situation. It's been going on a while.

you_know:
a lot of the reason it has always been a problem was instead of putting the pre paid funds in to a seperate account which they could not touch except for the current months payment, they put it all in the same account as the general funds (aka bill gray's (when he was there for 10+ years) and len's piggy bank) and spend it as if it were theirs - which really, it is not, not until the incidentals or tuition is due for that month...
if they would have done that, it shouldn't have ever been a problem refunding monies that were rightfully due...BUT...well, you know the rest...

Are you serious? Follow banking rules! How dare you suggest such a thing. Your punishment for such foolish bantering is to pick up goose droppings for the next three weeks. That will teach you to think in a reasonable, logical manner.

happyday7:
The contracts that parents sign even today at HLA still say that if you pull your kid out of HLA early, you only forfeit the last month and 1/2 of tuition that you pre pay up front, as well as current tuition. Parents that paid the full tuition up front and are pulling their kids early are NOT getting all that money refunded back to them because HLA is telling them that they do not have the money to pay them back!!! SO, HLA cannot pay these parents back all this money and they are staying open WHY????
