Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
Hello, yes i've just signed up & chosen a silly username
Has anyone else successfully got back a 'non-refundable deposit' on course fees. The deposit was paid towards course fees but then a change of circumstances meant I had to pull out of the course. As only 10 days had gone by and the company had not done ANYTHING which would have cost them anything financially I strongly believe that to say the deposit is non refundable is JUST A JOKE!
Fair enough, they obviously need to protect themselves from having people sign up for a course they are not serious about, and having to refund these applicants. BUT surely it is unfair to say that a genuine and early change in circumstances will never merit a refund?
I would be more than grateful for any advice, routes of complaint etc.
You could complain in writing to the principle of the college explaining the circumstances which caused you to withdraw from the course, he/she may make a discretionary offer but they are quite entitled not to.
BEFORE starting your claim read through the FAQ's and if there's something you aren't sure of then ask.
