trades gateway cancellation

[gaurab]

hello,
i joined trades gateway in february. i was thinking of plumbing course but wasnt much sure about it.
their sales rep came to my place and we discussed all the fees and all. now i was financially capable of paying 145 a month at that time however due to recent earthquake in my home country (Nepal) i had to help my family back in nepal and still sending money as my place was devastated. now i wanted to cancel it but they are saying you only had 15 days time to cancel it. and the finance company is at my back calling me all the time. i cancelled the direct debit which was a bad idea as its affecting my credit report n financial profile.is there any way i can deal with this or do i just have to keep shut and keep paying them.
please need suggestions and advice as to how i can deal with this
thanking you,
Gaurab.

Oh gosh, love to your family back in Nepal. How are things going over there now ?

So Tradesgateway, how long after signing up did you try and cancel ?

Did you understand when signing up for the course that you were actually taking out a personal loan for the full amount and repaying at £145 a month ?

i knew i was going to pay 145 a month but i did not know it was a personal loan that i was taking out.

Just to add to this, i joined up last december and basically got lied to quite badly. I've sent a complaint in to customer services and there responding via written letter. Not sure what the response will be, but i would never recommend this company, totally unprofessional.
