[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
