Lawrenceville mother unhappy with organization

From ConsumerAffairs.com:

"Some parents also say People to People refused to refund their money — even when they had to cancel their child’s trips for medical reasons. That’s what happened to Donna T. of Lawrenceville, Georgia. Her son, Nick, couldn’t go on his People to People trip because of serious health issues.

“I called the 800-number (for People to People) today to find out about receiving my down-payment refund and I was told that he would only receive $155 of the $400 back,” she told us. “When I asked about the other $245, I was told by Annette that the $245 was for insurance. Insurance for whom? My son isn't attending.”

Donna is furious that People to People won’t issue refunds when students can’t take the trips for

....She adds: “I will be very curious to find out how many people have been taken in by this scam. I will not stop until this is stopped — and I get my entire $400 back. Furthermore, when I called this morning and talked to Annette and explained to her that my son might be dying, she basically laughed and said too bad, I signed a document and I'm only going to get the $155 back.”
