Good day to you all and thanks for taking the time to read this thread.

The reason for it’s creation lies in a dark place where I’ve slowly realised I may have been a victim to fraud. As an individual from the hospitality sector, a hard hitting impact from the pandemic lead me to take desperate measures and accept a finance agreement from a “home learning college” called - NTC / New Trades Career.

An online form was filled out initially and not heard back from for a couple of months. As the year of 2021 started I received a call and was given an online interview as well as videos explaining the 97% pass rate for the college.

A long list of City & Guilds qualifications were promised and a “interest free loan” of £7800.00 was offered after a “in-depth” review for which the sales man made the mistake of leaving his discussion with the finance company Carnegie Cosumer Finance on loudspeaker which I ignorantly ignored (there was no review of eligibility just a straight up acceptance of the finance).

I have ONLY been provided with course-books and nothing further, I was promised “around the clock support from dedicated tutors” in an attempt to contact them, my “dedicated” tutor wasn’t even there to answer the call and his plumbing counterpart simply outlined that I should circle the answers and hand in the results online.

The promised “virtual learning” is nowhere to be seen and I am now paying £180.00 per month with no choice but to continue suffering in silence.

I cannot believe I have been sold into a deal like this, even if no one can help me escape this financial prison of an agreement, if this forum can even stop another young lad or older gentlemen from being in my position at least some of you will be able to finesse these venomous fangs of manipulation.

I plead to anyone who can help me get out of this deal, as a family man I am struggling to stay afloat and now have another huge bill to deal with.

Thank you all for your time, J.
 
Aye ye bought rubbish, but get off them what ya can or stop paying as service not provided, but probably get letters every week from debt company if ya did pull plug...

This has been going on for years, as people not happy with fees they paying and outcome achieved
Thanks for your response. If I stop the payments, will debt collectors show up at my door though? Or just letters? The figure of ÂŁ7800.00 is not exactly a light fee.

Maybe you Just annoyed about the payments? Not igood year to be in courses either
Certainly, I do actually want to achieve this qualification. The issue is that the course is completely misleading and does not lead to the employment that was promised. Hopefully it works out, thanks for your message.

I can't see how they can promise you will definitely get a job as an electrician straight after you complete their course.

Isn't that what all these courses offer, at best in most cases it's self employment as a lightly qualified domestic installer

But to state it as a fact is giving people false hope. They should stress the fact experience will be needed. Obviously I know advertising is not always 100% truthful !

And to say he will be able to pay off his 8 grand course fees within 6 months of income after the course is very optimistic. Especially after he was shelled out on tools, an MFT and a van.
