RE: Mentor Technologies Info (am I screwed?) [7:24825]
I was scheduled to take the class in December...I don't think my CC has been charged yet but I'll be calling them to check for sure. I have a whole list of Mentor phone #'s but all of the ones I called weren't answered by humans. Can anyone offer feedback on the CCBootcamp 5-day course (anyone other than Mark and Brad that is)? It seems to me that this may be a possible substitute for the ECP-1 class. If anyone has a really fat training budget and has attended both a comparison would be great - I'm guessing that there aren't too many people in that situation though.

[7:24825] Just wondering if I am the only person caught up in the Mentor Technologies apparant bankruptcy. I have paid for ECP-1 in Falls Chuch on Nov. 12th, called Mentor to find out what was going on once I heard they were going under. Nobody answering the phone, mail boxes full, lines busy, in short, nobody is home. I've made calls to the Consumer Protection Division of Annapolis's Attorney General, they gave me the bankruptcy court's number, but I haven't gotten thru there yet. I'd love to hear it if anyone has any suggestions/advice on how to get my $4,000.00 dollars back. Wasn't smart enough to pay via credit card, sent them a check.

Does anyone know the names of the Senior management that ran Mentor Tech? It would be interesting to see if these guys surface at other training or tech companies. That way we could make sure we avoid doing business with those companies. I don't know the details, but it almost seems like these guys should get prison sentences for grand theft. That had to see it coming and they surely collected as much money as possible to line their golden parachutes. If anyone has info on who these guys are please post it. I'm sure some disgrunted former Mentor employees lurk on this board and wouldn't mind letting us know. John Kaberna CCIE #7146 NETCG Inc.

I feel your pain... I'm out $4,600 (half of a CCNP pkg.), and I know of another who is out almost 3x that! Someone told me today that the classroom side is definitely out of business but that vLab may stick around. Apparently, the unpaid employees forced a liquidation which scared off a potential buyer for the whole show. Not sure what my options are. Could you email me the phone number you were given?

Re: Mentor Technologies Info (am I screwed?) [7:24825]
Unfortunately you're probably screwed. They definitely won't pay you your money back since they have none. People who payed with credit cards will no doubt be refunded by the credit card company and we'll be the ones to pay for Mentor's handy work in higher credit card fees. -- -=Repy to group only... no personal=- ""J"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Just wondering if I am the only person caught up in > the Mentor Technologies apparant bankruptcy. > > I have paid for ECP-1 in Falls Chuch on Nov. 12th, > called Mentor to find out what was going on once I > heard they were going under.
