[Resolved]  GLOBAL VISA — Cheated by immigration consultant

Dated : 21st December 2008

Subject : Cheated by Global Visa in the name o[censored]K immigration


Dear Sir
I’m writing this letter in frustration and in hopes of showing the public how some Companies treat an average person who wants to just live a normal happy life . I was contacted by Manish Srivastava of Global visa ( India office ) through telecall, he convinced me that i should move to UK on a HSMP visa and told me that i qualify for the same after doing a assesment for me.
Manish promised me that Global Visa would arrange me a work permit for UK in 12 weeks after i maintain a balance of 242000 in any of my saving account . He also promised that he had done a through assesement for me and the only requiremnet remaining was Inr 242000 as maintainence fund . Manish confirmed me that Global visa would charge me INR 24000 for starting the process and INR 80000 approx on completion of the visa processing and the entire money would be refunded back if in case the company fails to arrange visa for me .
I wanted to initiate a relationship with Global visa but did not have INR 24000 with me, I recieved numerous follow up calls from Global Visa to start the relationship as i have got a free assesment done by them, when i made them aware that i dont have money with me, Manish requested me to make a credit card payment through a secured route of Global Visa .
I was made to understand that once the relationship will be started i would get guidance from Global Visa regarding my paper filling . I then made a payment through my credit card of 300 pounds.
When i recived the first mail from Global visa post my payment the documents list made available was different from what i was intially comunicated . The list contained certain documents which i was not made aware of, i then complained the assigned manager from Global Visa to compensate my INR 24000 but they dint respond to my request, infact after two months from then they again stared follow up calls for the remaining INR 80000 .
I told them to rather return my INR 24000 of initial deposit or otherwise i would do a police complain they then stopped follow up calls.
I was shocked to find in my credit card statement for that month that they have already debited INR 80000 approx without any intimation using the previous detail provided by me for the intial payment .
When i contacted Global Visa India Head Ajay Hasija, he promised me help but had a very poor response latter . I have a outstanding of more than INR 1 lakh on my credit card for charges debited by Global Visa and the only service provided to me by them is the first mail for document list . Please advice and Help
Regards
Rahul Madhogaria

Good afternoon

I strongly agree with this, my complaint is with the UK branch, Simon who turns out to be the salesman there promised us a great service with no problem in getting a Defacto Visa for my partner. I am British and he is Caribbean. He then advised it would only take about 12 weeks. We paid £350 as a part payment to get things started and were advised that we would have a manager (Shazia) assigned to us who would contact us to do an interview in order to complete the paperwork for the visa and that we would also have to pay another £350 on completion of this and a further £400 to the embassy. We never got this interview and it was impossible to contact them by phone, email or their online customer weblink. When we did get them they said they were waiting to hear from us, this was never the case and we were actually waiting to hear from them but rarely did. The customer service and communication skills is a disgrace. The manager who was meant to be acting for us talked over you and always wanted to get across how we were in the wrong and that was why nothing had been done even though they had our money from middle of December 2008 and it was not the end of January 2009. The sale person I spoke to initially told me that they were open between Xmas and New Year and I later was advised that this was not the case and this was used as part of the reason why we heard nothing. Also it turns out that when I asked for a detailed invoice showing costs to date which should only be phone calls as that is ALL they have done they advise that they started filling out paperwork for a married visa to which we had never instructed to do and also find this strange as she would not have had the information as we never did an initial interview etc giving the information required for this form. Please Please Please do NOT use this company. I am now trying to get the deposit back and have more or less been told there is none to get back, myself and my partner are so upset with these people. He is still in the Caribbean and I am not in the UK with our daughter. I came back thinking he would follow soon so I could get the little one settled. So the saga continues in a vain attempt to try and get some of the money back we have paid out and we are now going to have to start and find another company to assist and it is now very hard to trust that any company will do this after our experience.
Its really sad dat such big name like Global visa are CHEATERS...i was planning to join UK immigration program from Global Visa.
But now i never do that in life...
Thanks Rahul
How can such renowned firm can become fraud...
Trust is evil these days Rahul...
I would suggest screw them...
I am with you..
OMG,
These people are so fraud, thank God you really opened my eyes Rahul,
I hope you`ll win the compensation case dear!
good luck
Hard luck Global cheaters!
well what can i say
global visa can do such a cheap AcT
God save world!
Neways Good luck Rahul!
If such a renowned Company is doing this then how would a laymen could think of going abroad even with complete documentation.According to me Consumer Court should hit them pretty hard so that they do not dare to do this again to anybody else and i hope they take appropriate strict action against global cheaters so that they dont spread their global globally.
Gud luck Rahul!
all the agengies are , dont trust any individual and any comapany, directly go to embassy and collect all the information or collect from their website. dont trust to mother[censored]ers.
These guys are real cheats it is very simillar to the situation I am in, they had promised to do a fast track application to me and have raised an invoice accordingly, charged £450 from me and with out even initiating application process they have further charged my £585.

Just made money like theives, this is an organization that needs to be taken down.

Please write a complaint to Commissioner of Immigration in the UK, this may not get our money back but would atleast initiate action against this louzy organization.
They have the worst service, they are dacoits..put them i jail. sorry for you rahul madhogaria.
