Hi all, just thought I would post a little update for you all. Not sure if its anything out of the norm or if I am getting my hopes up. I wrote to the fos and supplied them with my original complaints and details. I simply asked them to take another look at my case and I got a promising letter back. I was surprised that it wasn't one of the stock letters I got previously. It said: "We will now ask Barclay's to send us their information about your case. One of our adjudicators will then be able to start work on your case". I got rather excited about this as all I've heard before is advise telling me to contact my local trading standards or the company dealing with the Administration process! I also wrote to my local MP and got an encouraging response saying that he was writing to the Financial Secretary to the Treasury about circumstances. Not sure what that means though In both of my letters I tried to appeal to their human side, instead of quoting laws and legislations I tried to stress my disappointment and asked them if they thought it was fair that I have nothing to show for the money I am still paying. I'm pretty sure my circumstances are totally unique to everyone else's as I started my MCSE way back in 2006. Due to personal circumstances and the lack of support from Advent I hadnt even taken my A+ by the time they folded. I had a career development loan from Barclays to pay £4500 in full to Advent. Advent kindly gave Barclay's a completion date for the course of 2008, when this date came around I had to start repaying my loan even though I had barely begun the course. Barclay's say they won't offer me alternative training as I should have completed the course. When I get any updates I will let you all know. Fingers crossed!

Hi, long time reader here but this is only my first time posting. I came across the links to this discussion on Fuzzbutts site (thanks Fuzzbutt) its a godsend that I just happened to stumble across Fuzzbutts details. Just to let you know I am in the process of writing to my MP, and the FOS, how many times previously I forget. It was only by chance I found these updates, I thought everyone had just given up on it. I was wondering if it would do any harm or if it would be a good idea to try and get some more publicity about this i.e informing the national newspapers.
