Hello iwannawinlotto, I've recently been dealing with HLC, but I cancelled agreements within the 7 days after the "tutor" (salesman) came to my home; so far I think I've got rid of them (fingers crossed). Have you seen this site: Home It gives a history of HLC and their credit company, they seem to be a bunch of crooks (although we already knew that). It doesn't offer any advice with regards to cancellation of agreements but it may be useful to learn of HLC's background (and perhaps give you some ammunition) Just a thought... Eddie

thanks wee man Update: I emailed them yesterday requesting written confirmation that my agreements have been cancelled. They replied back saying... "Please be advised your course has been cancelled. Your deposit has been requested please allow 3-10 days to reach your account. No further payments will be taken." However the course materials arrived this morning whilst I was out (my housemate signed for the parcel) along with a letter containing a copy of my credit agreement with a section to sign and post back if I wanted to cancel the credit agreement. I sent this back via recorded delivery (although the post office said that the address was for a different company... "Assets Reunited Ltd"... Hopefully its just a different company in the same building?) The form on the credit agreement says that if I cancel the agreement HLC will arrange to collect the course materials from me, so I haven't sent the parcel back yet... is this wise? Thanks Eddie

Hey everyone, Last week a HLC "salesperson" came to my house after I requested information online about a computer course. The guy managed to get me to enroll, for £100 deposit and £75 a month for 2 years. After the guy left I googled Home Learning College and found a load of people unable to cancel their course and losing thousands of pounds! So I phoned up to cancel my application. I was told to send an email to [email protected] giving my name, address, student number and course code, which I did. I also sent a hard copy to the address on the contract. No reply. I phoned the next day and they claimed to have no record of the email I sent them. I sent the email again today, stating that the contract says that I "have the right to cancel up to the seventh day after receiving course Materials" and requesting written confirmation of this cancellation from them. As I haven't received course materials yet I assume that I am fully within my rights to cancel all Service and Credit agreements. I'm really worried as I'm currently unemployed and I really don't need this hassle, so I'd really appreciate knowing whether and how your situations have been resolved. Thanks in advance. Eddie

Hi iwannawinlotto, I'd really like to know how you got on and whether you have been able to cancel the course without paying the full fee. Last week a HLC "salesperson" came to my house after I requested information online about a computer course. The guy managed to get me to enroll, for £100 deposit and £75 a month for 2 years. After the guy left I googled Home Learning College and found a load of people in the same position as you. So I phoned up to cancel my application. I was told to send an email to [email protected] giving my name, address, student number and course code, which I did. I also sent a hard copy to the address on the contract. No reply. I phoned the next day and they claimed to have no record of the email I sent them. I sent the email again today, stating that the contract says that I "have the right to cancel up to the seventh day after receiving course Materials". As I have't received course materials yet so I assume that I am fully within my rights to cancel all Service and Credit agreements. Now I'm really worried as I'm currently unemployed and I really don't need this hassle, so I'd really appreciate knowing whether and how your situation has been resolved. Thanks in advance. Eddie
