Default Access 2 Trade Careers Closing Down

I've heard through the grape vine that Access2 Trade Careers are closing down.

So please do try to get your money back if they have some of yours. And please do NOT book with them if you haven't done so already.

They do have some of my money! Unfortunately Barclays have paid them and I now owe on a Barclays loan. I received no notification of insolvency but my freind who's also on the course did by email and contacted me. On checking the website there's a 4 line announcement which is a disgracefully small amount of info when you're still paying out for a large loan.

Up until now they've given me a high quality of training and had a great and very busy training centre so I can't quite see what went wrong. I'll call them tomorrow for some info but I can't imagine I'll have much luck getting through.

Does anyone know what rights we have now as far as claiming anything back goes? I was lucky enough to have completed my 2392 and 2382 recently and providing they sent off for my certificates it's not a complete disaster. My freind wasn't so lucky.

Will the collapse of my training company reflect badly if I tell prospective employers do you think?

belive it or not in the eyes of consumer law the loan company is responsible as much as the training provider for providing the course, ring the loan comany and tell them the goods/services they are financing have not been provided and that you are now refusing to pay them the balance.

BARCLAYS will **** them self! however to make sure you go in there with correct wording etc etc vistit your local Citizens advice or speak to a solicitor who deals with that type of stuff in one of there 1h consultations..! you will also be able to claim back any monies paid!!



if you paid via a credit card or visa debit you also can "charge back the client" as you not recieved goods/services..

Durham Spark - great advice........ Your loan company has to provide you with training services and you do have some protection with them.

Just got an email to say
It is with the very greatest regret that I have to write to you to tell you that having tried our very best we have been unable to secure ongoing funding for the company and accordingly as matters currently stand we are unable to continue to provide your training.

Arrangements are being made for an insolvency practitioner to be appointed and I am sure you will be hearing from him. No doubt you will want to discuss the position with him or an adviser.

Yours sincerely

Access2 Trade Careers
