BGAS Industrial Training Bond course debt - now CST DCA chasing

[Engineer12]

Apparently people are getting letters from a CST law saying they are going to take legal action.

 

im still in the process of fighting the training bond

CST law can't do anything of the sort

they are a powerless DCA.

read the letters properly, they don't say WILL anything.

thank dude, I don’t know anything about this stuff, why are DCA powerless? 
 

Can British Gas take us to court over stuff like the training bond, retention bonus, overpayment? 

[dx100uk]

cause they are not bailiffs

no more powerful than you or I on ANY debt.

 

I seriously doubt BGAS would want the bad publicity by doing court.

VST are not BG so they cant do anything

Bg can take you to court but so far they havent followed procedure so cant start to do that until they do follow the rules.

ASs said above, I would bet that the training contract isnt what they say it is so not that simple for them

I haven’t heard from them for a month or so, I spoke to a legal rep who said this was all very strange and it sounded to them as a cash grab since Bg lost 100’s of millions last year. 
 

if they where to take every engineer to court and they lost one case then all the rest wouldn’t have to pay anything back, they can’t charge you for tools and can that they take back. 
 

under training bond compliance they can only try and get back any external costs.

All training was in house at the company at their “academy” 

 

but keep us updated and I will do the same, I still haven’t heard anyone go to court yet

I haven't heard from them at all since my last post. Sounds like the letters I got and ignored. Standard tactic, it would appear.
