Credit Agreements
Instalment Plans
In the case where a student opts for a monthly payment scheme a Credit Agreement between GLH Credit (the Lender) and the Customer yourself (the borrower) will be set up by which the Company agrees to lend and the Borrower agrees to borrow the amount of any credit shown on the following terms and conditions
The student is requested to quote his/her Agreement/College Number in all communications with GLH Credit. This number will be issued along with your courseware.
In the case of any changes in the students address, the student must notify GLH Credit immediately.
You agree to pay us the balance payable by the instalments and at the times shown on Direct Debit, Bankers Order or Access/Visa withdrawal form or at such other times as we may notify to you having regard to your wishes.
If you are late in paying any instalment, you will pay us, if we so require, interest on the instalment from when it was due until when it is paid at the rate of interest chargeable on the loan or in the case where no interest is being charged a late payment or default fee.
If you have chosen to pay by Debit/Credit Card instalments then the first payment of the plan will be taken on the date you purchase the product.
The instalments after will be taken on one of two dates depending on first initial payment. Either 1st or 15th of the month.
For example if the invoice date is 22nd May, then the additional monthly instalments will be taken from your debit/credit card starting 1st July, 1st August etc.
So if you purchase on the 10th May then start of the monthly payments would be 15th June.
Please contact us ASAP if you are issued with a new card so we can update our payment schedule records. Same with a change of address.
A credit agreement term represents your period of study and as such courseware will only be sent out providing sufficient payments have been made to cover Training Links expenses. Training Link reserve the right to withhold courseware, tutor support, exams and certificates until such time that sufficient payments have been made. To summarise this statement you must expect the duration of your studies to be no less than your repayment period.
Non-Payment of Course Fees
If you are paying by instalments and your card is declined or a standing order is not paid we will have the right to cancel your course and or take legal proceedings against you. It is the borrowers responsibility to ensure that all payments are made to the lender on time.
Your support and certification rights will be suspended until the full amount of the course is paid for. Same for if you finish the course before your final payment is made
then no certificates are issued until full amount has been received.
Please note that even if you choose not to continue with the course at any time the whole amount outstanding is still due as all tutor fees have been paid and you have entered into a legal binding contract to pay the full amount.
This does not apply in cases where a complaint has ruled in your favour. Complaints procedures will be provided with all credit agreements and can only apply to situations where Training Link are in breach of their contract with you.

Telephone support is not provided as standard as 95% of the time you will require a written answer to your question, Training Link do however reserve the right to contact a student by telephone at a convenient time to you if written help is not sufficient enough to resolve a problem.
