Is there some way that we can do a group litigation action....? i.e. as there is so many of us afffected. Does anyone know anything about this? We are paying or paid money for services we are not getting... Can anyone advise?

In the contract I signed, from Barclays and Advent Partner Finance, in the about your Rights sections it says:

 

2) if you recieve unsatisfactory goods or service paids for under this agreement you may have the rigth to sue the suplier or both.

3) if the contract is not fulfilled, perharps because the supplier has gone out of business, you may still be able to sue us.

 

So I will wait to see what happen and then, Sue the bank!

[iNFAMOUS29]

When you spoke to them what did they tell you?

 

She says that they Haven't recieve any Confirmation yet from the Admnistrator and that they will do 2 things, or found another training center for me or give my money back, that she said, For god I swear!

[iNFAMOUS29]

Are you on about Career Development Loan?

you got from barclays for this company

what did the woman say to you?

Don't know about that, but is a partner finance and my papers said Barclays Studen finance, and the woman say to me, another training center or my money back, But i will take my money back cause I don't want another Stuff like this, very angry!!!

[Andrew9]

spoken to barclays just now for my Career Development loan,

she says in the bottom of that paragraph in any of the contracts with barclays, they are stated you signed in the dotted line that you are liable to pay every penny for this course even if the course FAILS to carry on.

 

I don't see anything like that in my contract. I only see that I signed The Direct Debit Guarantee agreement.

[Awax]

She says that they Haven't recieve any Confirmation yet from the Admnistrator and that they will do 2 things, or found another training center for me or give my money back, that she said, For god I swear!

 

 

thanks alot, a couple of others have had similar responses, now i guess its just a waiting game, going to see if they can put the account on hold until they come to a resolution, dont like the idea of continually paying for something that no longer exsists.

If you notice the registration number for this company is different to that on there website, there going to do all of this again in a year or two under another company name!!! probaly not this one as not that Ive just shown alot of people the light on this company, hahahaha

 

I was very close to posting all of the addresses of Directors purely because I'm so outraged at this but I thought that could get me into serious trouble posting there home addresses and unfortunatley NO! I can't find out there personal home or mobile numbers... I also thought that could be one step to far If I did have access to that kind of information

 

I also found this list of companies that the Director there called Andrew Allchurch apparently has set up and still has 5 other companies running.

I found it pretty disturbing to look at myself please see it below;

The BBC and all the administrators probaly have access to all of this information aswell but I though I would share it with you guys aswell, as you can see he has multiple companies and a couple with very very similar names.

 

The Directors full name is ANDREW RICHARD ALLCHURCH

 

Enjoy!!

[glenntanner]

yes i would much rather have not have to keep paying barclays, i have lost all confidence in their choice of training companies (after all if anyone should of known whether or not advent was a safe bet it's barclays)

[iNFAMOUS29]

I just called to the Number from the BBC guy and they said that maybe they cannot help me cause is midlands only, but she took my name and number so she will pass that to the rigth person, I said that If they can call me back with any number over here in this area (I'm in york) and I guess that many people from over the North Have this Problem as well, She said if I will like to be interviewed I said YEAAAAAA!!!

[SL1in3]

Hey people I think they should be sued for this, why isn't their a Law for us? They have the rights only. The courses a way toooooooo expensive.

[stopmybeat]

I don't see anything like that in my contract. I only see that I signed The Direct Debit Guarantee agreement.

 

Andrew9 did you take out a: Barclays Career Development Loan? or did you do their barclay financial partner?
