Scotty Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't think any contract of that value would really mean anything anway. Would be too much hassle and cost the company too much money to persue you legally I think? I know nothing about thenlaw though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm thinking more on the lines if you wanted a refund! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flatpack Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yes, and very recommended ……….. just the fact we are finding out more information than they are - also they arent aware of other methods of registration …. gosh there like amatures - and im paying alot of money for it!!! Were doing nearly all the work , and im just thinking - what am i paying them for ?????? there, rant over ) i think a lot of people are surprised how much they have to do, the agent tells you what you need and you do it. Personally I was surprised how easy it was to actually fill in the applications online. It took me 20 minutes maximum to fill in the whole application form, I then checked it a million times over the next few days as I couldn't believe it was so easy.

pegg Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 tend to agree with with @flatpack !!!! our agent wasn't even aware of part of the process regarding the skills assessment - that we were told on here!! Thank goodness for this forum and its members - as its saved us time and money i reckon !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 "Ditch Agent" sounds abit aggressive for thread ….. not being nasty , just that you pay alot of money and you expect some knowledge ;o) not a hater … honest x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I didnt do my homework before I signed up with an agent 8 years ago, I wanted someone local so I could just go to the office and see them if I needed to, didnt think the long range relationship would work, I picked the only agent there was in Chester, boy what a mistake, talk about take your money and run, after that fiasco I did some homework and got GoMatilda to get me through TRA, the rest I did myself, but GoMatilda were excellent, I ended up with an extremely long distance relationship as I ended up dealing with the Melbourne office, not Southampton as most of you would be, so my advice if anyone needs an agent...................go with GoMatilda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
