THE STUDENT SUPPORT CENTRE

[ladyrosie]

Yes we were taken in by the hard sell too!It was like being assaulted by a double glazing salesman on speed!!! Our programme is now gathering dust on top of our wardrobe!!! I am so angry as i feel we have let our children down ,which is exactly how the salesman?or should i say highwayman makes you feel right in front of your children iff you say no!!! They do not want to help at all, but we dont care iff it takes years we are going to send this rubbish back and get a refund iff it kills us!!! My advice is iff you want to spend thousands of pounds on your children then take them to DISNEYWORLD and see them smile!!! Then you will have had value for money,not upset children!! KEEP YOUR FRONT DOOR SHUT!!! and your hard earned money SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I need a drink now im so angry!!!!!

What is it? What's rubbish about it? I take it that it cost a lot of money.

As much as it pains me to say this it has cost about £4000 over 4 years there seems to be little chance of a refund but i will not stop trying !!!!! Do not be taken in by these people. It was like being brainwashed they are so clever at what they do its all very well designed to pull on your wishes to help your children!!! you think because it comes from the school it must be ok!! but it is nothing to do with the school and there just by accident is no mention of any money or long term contract untill right at the end of the presentation AGAIN IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILDREN FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA PRESSURE.In the meeting There is a test for your child which they will NEVER pass,and then the programme is based upon this.VERY VERY CLEVER!!! The dvds are lacking in motivation and are like wathching paint dry.

sorry didn't link properly before

I purchased the student support package for my 3 children in the end of the year 2009, because i was feeling guilty for not working with them on their English and maths. We had the leaflet brought home from the school, the salesman was very persuasive. I've never in my life felt so mislead, as i had a total of £6000 to pay in 4 years. Most of the videos are still in their wrappings untouched, as i have no time to watch them 3 times a week. I haven't been made aware of the barclays loan and i thought its just a regular transaction between two parties. The student support centre provides 1 video per family but, in my case, three different books to go with the video and thats what i found really unfair, as they charge you per child which ends up to be a large sum of money. After two years of paying £140 a month i tried to contact them to complain and find a way out of this awful contract, they kept promising me that they would get back to me, but that never happened. I don't know what to do and who to complain to. I am a single Mum who works so hard and all i wanted was the best for my kids' education.

We actually had the bumf home from our childrens old primary school a few years back, when i found out who they were i promptly marched the leaflet back into school and told our head, how disappointed i was, that leaflets such as this were coming home.

As a new school mum, i thought if the school were sending it home, they were endorsing it?

they must of been doing the rounds again as there is a load on ebay again.
