File a complain in consumer forum. You can send them a legal notice before taking legal step also.

Sir, i am a Member of Bar Council of India, can i sent the Notice, or i have to consult any other Advocate

Arvind Singh Chauhan (advocate) 02 February 2010

Even who is not a member can issue notice.

Sanjay (Member) 03 February 2010

No problem. Advocates do have a right to lodge and contest their cases. you can send legal notice on ur own behalf being a consumer and not as an advocate or through another advocate.

Sir, with reference to above discussion, i have send Notice to their three offices and received two acknowledgement out of three, and also got a call from their legal advisor from Hyderabad saying that they are ready to settle the matter out of court but, they will only return my tuition fees, not total amount, but when i have argued with the matter then they said we'll let me know within day or two, but it has already passed a week time, still i have not received any call from them,

Sir, please suggest me what shall i do then,

should i go for consumer court directly,

or anything else, please help me sir,
