[Resolved]  The Chopras — Not refunding my money

Address:

Pune, Maharashtra

I joined The Chopras, Pune 3 months before for MBA admissions. I have payed them 16500 (part of my total amount - 32000). I had a few discussions on call about selection on Universities. They suggested me with some information. Rather I would say I told them the countries I am looking for and according to my budget constraints. They provided me 2 lists o[censored]niversities, for Europe and Asia. And thats all. The told services Includes - 1. Universities lists and selection 2. Resume, Letters of Recommendations help, SOP help, Essays (a good number - depends on how many universities I apply - each university requires an average of 3 essay) ------- All these documents are considered as 1 point, but a lot of work on that. 3. Interview preparation and conducting mock interview. 4. Application process help (lot of work on this) 5. Taking care of VISA process and interview (lot of work on this too) 6. Helping about accommodations 7. Miscellaneous help (I might miss out few services) Now, here the story begins. I gave GMAT this month, due to some issues I scored really bad. I have decided not to give it in near future, and as I don't know about my coordinates if I will be in Pune or not, I decided to stop the service with Chopras. I called them and explained by financial condition and pleaded for a refund, of-course cutting the payment for THE FIRST POINT - that too university selection was not done/ only the LIST THEY PROVIDED - CAPS intended. After 2 weeks and continuous follow up, they called last Saturday and mentioned, they have given me enough service and they cant refund me 16500 - as in ZERO refund. I spoke to them, pleaded more and spoke about my bad financial condition, my father being ill, a lot of responsibilities on my shoulder. But there was no luck ! I really NEED HELP to get back my money. There are more than 10 services, and they provided me just 1. Not their fault. But they are not refunding. They are cheating on me. PLEASE HELP me get atleast 12000 in return. I have considered the 1st service to be Rs 4500
