Painfull Experience in Getting Refund of Tuition Fee Back from UK Private
Aug 28 2011 08:20 AM | Asia P Lawyers in UK Immigration Experiences
I am a business corporate lawyer and an immigration consultant in Pakistan. Recently, my client applied for his Tier 4 (general) student visa at British Embassy in Islamabad. His previous immigration consultant paid GBP 1500 and arranged a CAS letter from a private college that is 3D Modern College based in Morden, London. The consultant himself put an attestation stamp on the original secondary school certificate without my client's knowledge, and submitted his visa application to British Embassy. Resultantly, the embassy got it verified and found that the attestation stamp is falsified, and put a 10 years statutory ban on him under paragraph 320 (7A) of UK immigration rules, therefore, I applied an administrative review against that decision, which was refused while upholding the decision made by the ECO. The said consultant has closed his office and gone out of country in order avoid payments received from various innocent local students. I contacted 3D Modern College for refund of tuition fee, the college administration told me we can not speak to you, ask the consultant to contact us. I said we do not know his whereabouts, the person on phone got angry, and hung my phone call. I visited the website of college and got email addresses of college principal, boards of governor and registrar. I sent an email message to all of them asking for refund of tuition fee. The next day I received a reply from the college stating therein that we do not refund the student under such case (where the visa application is refused under paragraph 320). If you are not satisfied, you can go to court. I was amazed to now that and realized what an awfull ordeal it is.

You may also file a judicial review against that college. Only for your information, it is illegal for all UK based institutions to retain the fee of any such student, whose visa has been refused by UKBA. If you want us to help you, you might e-mail us in detail to ray@millenniumconsultants.co.uk
