Rue Education ("school" or "publisher"?) has turned Ripoffreport.com into its lapdog.

We are investigating a Florida Company, Rue Education.  Rue seems to have a very similar model to a company we looked at earlier this year, the Learning Network.  Both companies tout an LPN to RN program.  Many of the customers of each company sign up believing they are dealing with a school.  In both cases, once the sucker is hooked, the company insists that it is just a publisher of information materials.  I searched Google for complaints, found quite a few, then I went to one of my favorite complaint sites, Ripoffreport.com and was shocked at what I found.  Instead of lots of complaints I found this statement with slight variations in repeated "reports":

RUE EDUCATION Verified REVIEW: Rue Education committed to customer satisfaction. Rue Education always making changes to ensure client success, focusing on finding ways to help each client reach their educational goal as they balance work, family and other commitments. LPNs, LVNs, Paramedics, Respiratory Therapists, RNs in states across the country rave about Rue Education. Clearwater, Florida*UPDATE: Recognized by Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Program as a safe business service Rue Education pledges to resolve issues so clients feel safe, confident and secure when doing business with Rue Education. Ripoff Report Verified

  Apparently Rue is part of the "Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program".  I don't know what money changed hands between Rue and Ripoff Report,  I will give this much to Ripoff Report, they put so much sugar on the Rue "reports" that at least they made it obvious that site can't be trusted to give you the full story regarding Rue complaints.

If you are having problems with Rue or its collection arm, Edu-Lend, LLC, find a NACA lawyer in your area at www.naca.net.  This is especially true if you have Rue or Edu-lend on your credit report. If you get sued on a Rue account or any similar account, don't assume that nothing can be done, talk to a NACA lawyer.
