Has been reported as fraud awaiting Barclays investigation but not holding my breath.

Gave David Martin their Director of Recruitment my card details for the deposit. He must of been laughing his head off.

I'm on the look out for him - must be out there somewhere

not defending what they have done, but I dont believe david martin owned the place, so may not have known what was going to happen. If you really want somebody to get then make sure you get the right person...

I spoke to one of their students yesterday. He called up the new place and they're trying to place him on a course. He said they seem helpful and should hear next week what date he starts.

I'll post up if u hear they've sorted him out.

Two sides and all that.

Two sides and all that.

i recall some posts around a year ago surrounding the landlord demanding extra money and they had to relocate.

there been at least 2 or 3 stories about this in the past, is it the same issue from last year not been sorted yet or a different one?

 

[Howsie]

I understand that when it was purchased by Mr. Hunt they came to an agreement with the landlord which seemed to work fine for a while. I'm led to believe the landlord then raised the rent and then changed the locks after x months because the new rate wasn't being paid.

is that last time or this time?

it sounds very familiar

 

[Howsie]

Not sure. Might have happened with the previous owner but I don't believe it has happens with Hunt before?

Most people renting out industrial units give a very low rental for the first 12 or 18 months as an incentive, after that time the rent goes up to the agreed/required amount. Is this unreasonable if agreed at the time?

 

[Howsie]

Of course not and perfectly simply to factor into a business plan.

I wasn't very clear in my previous post. I believe they picked up the business from the previous owners, rental agreement and all.

That's my understanding.

This seems to be an exact repeat of what happened at Manchester BTSC . Taking money right to the end even though they knew they were going under. Then the promises that they were going to start up in a new place which never happened. Just a smoke screen to gain time.

 

[Howsie]

I believe Manchester closed because it wasn't a viable business. Not sure what happened to the students but I heard they were offered placed at Chessington.

 

[fogarty]

Shortly before Manchester shut down the two bussinesses were separated into two separate comanies so the trainees from Manchester were told Chessington BTSC was nothing to do with them so all lost their money including me. We were told they were looking for new premises but that never happened. I'd paid for my gas training and exams up front and lost it all.I can't afford to pay for it again.

 

[Howsie]

To be honest I'm just going on what I've heard. Everything you need to know will be filed at Companies House and you can lay your hands on it all for under a £20.

BTSC Chessington
BTSC Manchester

I'd be knocking at their door TBH.

Hello ive just registered.

I have completed my course at BTSC and i needed to spend an hour with the trainers finalising my level three work place evidence portfolio. this was back in april 2012 and at the time the trainer said do i want them to keep hold of my portfolio and use some of it towards my ACS which i agreed. Well over one year later due to work commitments i thought i would phone up and tell them to put my portfolio in to city and guilds as im not going to have time to sit my ACS and i got the no number dialing tone.

so a quick google and it has led me here. Am i now absolutely knackered trying to get hold of my portfolio?
