Thanks! I have anyway this certain feeling that an official and using legal terms to BPF, won't help. It's worth trying but I know it won't help as I know there is an almost certain possibility that others before have tried.

Hi! Does anyone know anything about Aaron's solicitor? They keep asking me to send them a £200 to start legal action against BPF.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Happy Easter to you all and I also wish you will to be happy when thinking of BPF.....and one more word.....Aaron's Solicitor ...

Does anyone know what's happened with A4ron's lawyer?

maybe this is a trick..to make CT a like for like provider for us, don't you think? It may have been recently added on their website, i suppose!

I personally think we will win on Court. I'm going to send today to A4ron's solicitor the papers listed above. The only weak point we have is that we are personally involved whereas Barclays is not. In this case Barclays is just a bunch o people who think cool and logic knowing their pockets are safe, willing to get the best out of this situation for the company they work for. It's no use complaining to them, we are only a "math"/"logical" problem. DON'T BELIEVE THEY CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR MONEY THINKNIG YOU HAVE A CHANCE COMPLAINING AND PUTTING PRESSURE ON SOME CARELESS PEOPLE. IF YOU WERE IN THEIR PLACE, WORKING FOR BPF YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME TO SOME LIKE US. i will be forced to accept the new provider if you keep complaining and if you go on separate ways to Court against them!

PROTEST by Students of ADVENT Training & ACCESS2TRADE | Facebook who's in??

that's a compelling reason to stand against being forced to accept a new provider. If someone finally decides to take the step first and go to court on this matter, this could be a solid argument of injustice!!

Just a thought. If Barclays claims that has already paid Advent as an argument, making us to keep paying the full amount, then what about the new provider, provided that, it is gonna be one? Will Barclays pay again the same amount of money to the new provider? I don't think so, and certainly something stinks at this point, as it stinks the whole situation!

I don't want to be rude, and I'm just asking: are you sure you're not paid to say that? Did they guarantee you a job after taking the first certification? After all it cannot be more than distance learning, what really matters is afterwards, not the equipment ...

If you succeed in canceling your account by doing this, well, let us know please.

well, all you'll hear here is put pressure on barclays by letters and question and they also talk about Consumer Direct and Ombudsman. anyway it's like throwing little stones to a giant. Barclays is a powerful institution with lots of money and a tiny amount of them can change many things, and many people. maybe we need on our side someone bigger than Barclays but to do that we must do something else not just stay at home enter here and watch what's happened and the next day go to work, and maybe send a letter, or make a call....I would be available to go on the street for a manifestation which might be worth £6000.

Has anyone thought of what happens in case all we struggle for, in this mess, turns out eventually to be for nothing? I mean, what's gonna be then? Will we gonna have two options, accept the IT provider, Barclays imposes us, with all the inconveniences or not accept that IT provider and being forced by law to keep paying for nothing? ...because this is how Barclays sees what's gonna be, I suppose. Has anyone tired to see things putting himself for a moment in that situation? are things seen differently? is S75 more useful? wouldn't we stand a better chance of making justice form that standpoint? What if Barclays involved as in a persuasion movement to make us accept "that" IT Provider, you don't know anything about, only to have left just a few afterwards(those who won't accept) and thus having a much more better chance of forcing and imposing? AM I being out of question?

Thank you very much for your answer. Considering the S75 I think you should be more surprised that in this case what seems to be legal is not just, you know it, i know it. There's only one hard fact: thousands of people are about to lose hard earned money, only because they wanted a better future. The rest, it's just talking. A just thing is decided form the citizen's standpoint, Barclays and Advent should only come in the service of the citizens, to make their life better and yet Barclays is messing with us, deciding for us as we were all puppets, just because it has the power of legality and not the justice. I may be wrong, but let's not forget, there's only one hard thing.

Hello! As many of you here, I'm in the same situation regarding Advent and of course the much debated Barclays. I am a bit confused, anyway and that's why I require your help which will be much appreciated. I also signed up with Advent in September 2009, and got a loan from Barclays trough BPF of course, so I have this year free of payment. The thing is I haven't paid anything yet to Barclays and still they paid for me Advent (i/m talking about £6000). Now, many of you having got this loan, have started paying barclays and happening what's happened with advent you require from Barclays the exact sum you have paid, not the entire sum barclays paid Advent for you. this being the case, my situation would be clear: having not paid anything I should be able to cancel the agreement, and forget about the all thing as I'm sick and tired of it, is that right?
