Hi I was and Advent student, I took out a loan with Barclays Partner Finance and started paying straight away. I started my course in October 08, but put it on hold in November 09 due to a family bereavement and I have not as yet passed any exams. I paid my loan off (after changing my financial situation) in August 09, so I do not currently make payments to Barclays, but have paid them just less than £6000 for training. After everything that has happened, and after assessing Computeach, both before I chose to study with Advent, and again now, I do not wish to continue my training. I am now £6000 out of pocket, which is a huge amount of money to me. Do you have any advice for me considering that I have already paid Barclays in full? I have called Barclays and asked if I can cancel and have my money back twice. The first time I was told that if I did not wish to continue after I had been given the option of studying with someone else, that I would be eligible for compensation, however the second time I called, I was told that there was no way I would get my money back. I have not yet written to Barclays, or responded to the Computeach letter. Help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks
