American citizen how can I recover fee from a educational institute


20-Jun-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I am an American citizen who applied for admissions to Vogue Institute based on their promise to help me get a student visa to India. They said the only way to get it would be to get a bona fide letter of acceptance after paying INR 60,000 to secure a seat. However, I was rejected for a student visa from the Indian Consulate because Vogue was not a recognized educational institute. I though I had no other option so I attended two weeks of classes but a friend told me it is still possible to receive my refund? I stopped attending classes and am now reaching out to you. Please advise.

Hi
Vogue institute has a bad reputation for refund of the money, any way if you see the terms and condition of the fees which says that it is non refundable we can still file a consumer petition for refund of money, unfair trade practices, mental agony and compensation. Prior to giving legal notice you can ask the vogue authorities to refund the fees if they fail then you can issue a legal notice giving them an opportunity to refund the fees if they still fail to refund you can file a consumer case as said earlier.

There are few provision in law to get refund from educational institute. At the outset your case looks a good one which you can take to the consumer court.
