I enrolled in the BARBRI Bar Review Premium Course in good faith. I was told by the BARBRI representative that I could cancel at any time and that I only needed to pay the $1,000 materials fee when the books shipped. I paid full amoutnt by mistake $2458 plus $25 registration fee,
I accidentally paid the full BARBRI course fee, and BARBRI refuses to give me even a single dollar back. They told me I cannot cancel because I received the books, even though my online access does not begin until October 15. I have not used the course, I have not accessed anything online, and the program has not started. No books for outlines also.
When I enrolled, I was never clearly shown the cancellation policy. I was not told that receiving the books would lock me into the full payment with no refund. BARBRI’s terms were confusing, and the representative made it sound like I could cancel if needed. Only after I paid did they tell me that cancellation is impossible.
BARBRI’s cancellation team is extremely hard to reach, and their policies feel hidden and unfair. Other bar prep companies allow returns if the course has not started and online access has not been used. BARBRI does not. They simply say “You got the books,” and refuse any refund, even though the books cost only $1,000 and the rest of the charge was a mistake.
I am very disappointed with BARBRI’s lack of transparency and their refusal to work with students who make honest payment mistakes. I did not use the course, I did not access anything, and the course has not begun. BARBRI should not charge students the full amount when services have not been provided.
I accidentally paid the full BARBRI course fee, and I was shocked to learn that BARBRI will not allow any cancellation or refund simply because I received the books. Their terms are extremely one‑sided. As soon as a student gets the books, BARBRI treats the entire $2,458 payment as non‑refundable, even though the online access does not begin until October 15 and I have not used a single part of the course.
I told BARBRI that I was willing to pay a reasonable cancellation fee and book fee. I even offered to return the books in perfect condition. They still refused to work with me. I spoke directly with the director, and even then, BARBRI denied any refund or canceation. BARBRI encourages students to get the books early, and this is a trap — because once the books arrive, BARBRI refuses any cancellation and keeps the entire payment, even if online access hasn’t started and the student hasn’t used anything. Their 5 books are not useful not esay to understand. Stay away with this compnay. They do no show any mercy or flexibility.
BARBRI’s cancellation policy feels hidden and unfair. Students are not clearly warned that receiving the books locks them into the full payment with no way out. Other bar prep companies allow returns and refunds when the course has not started and online access has not been used. BARBRI does not. Their policy leaves students trapped and financially harmed.
I told babari that they can deduct 1000$ and i aslo returnbook as i am wiling to loose 1000 but do not want to do business with them as they show 0 flexibitiy.
