Verdicts & Settlements

Massage Therapist License Application Denied for Alleged Fraudulent Misstatements — After believing that she had successfully completed the curriculum of an approved massage therapy school, a woman took and passed the National Certification Examination for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCETMB) and applied to become a licensed massage therapist. She submitted her graduation certificate and course transcript with her application, but the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) denied her application because, as it turned out, her instructor was not affiliated with the massage therapy school. We explained that the woman did not commit fraud in her application, but rather that she had been deceived by the instructor. The woman subsequently completed the curriculum of a different massage therapy school, and she became licensed.
