I attended a driving school a few months ago I feel like I been used. The school is called Arrows driving school - drivers training so I figured this school is supposed to train individuals on how to drive. I also asked her was she willing to teach me since I am so up in age and most people already have their license by * or *. She said she would and I shouldn’t have to worry since this that is what she does. I also read an article regarding the statement you told me at that moment that selfless service is what she is all about and that how the school became to be. She is used to training new individuals on a new task she trained trainees in combat when we was in army. The article mentioned that she would do the same of individuals who has driving anxiety.I booked the two week slot( July *-Aug10- Monday to Thursday of each week. The two week was worth $* in full. She let me go the second day and I don’t know why . She emailed me that night(*:* when she could’ve just told me when you dropped me off at *:* that day )( Aug *) and said she was letting me go and this driving school cannot teach me based on my learning abilities. You cannot learn nothing in two days, so I would that determine my way of learning.
Hello **** ****, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Can you please confirm your location so I can provide the most relevant information? Also, did you sign a contract or any agreement before starting the driving course?
No, I relied on her word and what I read about her that she is willing to teach driving.
I'm sorry to hear about this. It would be helpful to know the location where this occurred. Regarding your situation, if you didn't sign a contract, your rights may be different. I suggest you:
- Request a refund if you haven't already.
- If refused, consider small claims court.
- Keep all email correspondence.
Remember, this is general legal information, not legal advice.

Thank you for the detailed information, ****. In Alabama, you have the option to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or Alabama Attorney General’s Office. It's crucial to remember that, while this isn't legal advice, it's an option you could consider.
Okay, I would do that. Thanks because even though this incident happened a few months ago it still worries me because I don’t know what I did wrong so I can get another to teach me based on my mistakes.
You're welcome, ****. It's understandable that this issue is causing you stress. Remember, it's important to keep all correspondence as evidence. You might also consider seeking legal advice from a local attorney.
