Just an update on my previous posting regarding the Scheidegger book-keeping course. I cancelled the finance agreement by letter the following day (15th July) and cancelled my application for the course on the 18th July and have today received a letter from Skills Train confirming that under the said finance agreement they have now received payment in full for my course fees and my enrolment has been fully completed!!?

 

Yes, thanks. I've just typed a letter to them but I'll fax it as you suggest, it'll be quicker. This whole thing has really got to me somehow.

I'd phone soon after you fax them to get them to confirm receipt of it as well. Be firm, but rational - do NOT lose the rag at any stage. The key here is to keep the upper-hand by maintaing your composure throughout.

Hope you get it sorted - keep us up to speed.

 

Joy,

Please tell me you sent your letter to Clydesdale by recorded delivery? If you didn't I guarantee they'll claim it never arrived and you're in for some problems...

 

True, but it doesn't confirm to the sender that the fax has been placed on the relevant desk in the relevant dept. That's what we want to ensure here.

 

Um, Arroryn, the problem is proving you sent the cancellation letter during your cooling off period. After that whatever you say is immaterial - you're legally bound to pay back the loan. I suspect, with Scheidegger sending that last letter, the cooling off period is now over. I hope I've misunderstood...

 

Thanks all, for your help and suggestions. Yes I did send the cancellation letter by recorded delivery. Thank God I did something right!

Nope. You only get five days after receiving the agreement from Clydesdale to cancel. I was in a similar nightmare situation so I've been there and bought the t-shirt (and baseball cap...)

Phew. That's where our stories differ - I was stupid enough not to send it recorded delivery (busy at work next day, in a rush to get it there, never ever had a letter go missing in all my life... spooky that this was the first, eh?)

 

I am still having trouble finding out anything concrete. Skills train weren't aware of the cancellation but say they will inform me by letter when it has gone through the system. Clydesdale Financial Services said they didn't have any record of an account under my name.

What is really worrying me is the so called tutor who did the home visit. I have stopped answering my telephone, he has left 3 messages today saying I should contact him and he's going to pursue me for his time wasted through monies.

I haven't returned any of his calls because I really don't want to speak to him, I feel completely intimidated by him.

 

Someone much wiser than me advised me to send it recorded!
