This a warning to all potentials! Never even think about training with this company!
I was stupid to believe that they were honest, i got the brochure paid my £150 deposit to find out that there was a catch! the Operators CPC, i only got my free artic training if i paid that, i found out that i didnt need to have this for just driving and that in a couple of years i would need to do my Drivers CPC, ok i thought, i will go with Top Gear a very good and reputable training school who was not going to try and rip me off!
Well i requested my money back from Qualitas, and they said they would call me back, a month later no call, THEN we found than Trogs debit card had been bled of £750 (card was used to pay for deposit).
We reported it to the bank and found it strange that the location of the transaction was Basildon, ( where Qualitas operate from).
Today i called them, and they said that yes they had taken the money, i explained to them that i had cancelled my training 2 days after paying the deposit and never got a call back, eventually they agreed to pay the £750 back onto his card (they said it was policy to take the money a month after the deposit was paid whether services used, booked or not)
They also stated that they would not repay the £150 deposit as cancelation had to be with then in writing within 1 week from the deposit being paid! although i was not informed of this until today, i have been waiting for the call from them for a month (nice trick to get your money).
So this makes me wonder just how many people have they ripped off by cheating them for £900 for absolutely nothing, it has for me turned into a nightmare, i have received 1 CPC book which has not cost me £150, ( i did ask for some training to the value of £150 so i could get my monies worth! they didnt have a course for that amount i would have to pay then back all the money again)
So let this be a warning to all of you, do not even call them, whisper there name if will cost you a fortune with nothing in return except for like trog, pay day wages being stolen, charges for overdraft, and 1 hell of a row with Qualitas
