Gone to bankruptcy

Anyone had their refunds yet from new wave please? Anyone could advise me how I can get my money back from them ?
I tried to warn everyone
I tried to warn everyone, with the infamous Whistle Blower paper, I worked for this scaming company, they lied to customers on a daily basis, they roped people in for training which they never had any intention of supplying for vast majority everything was a delaying tactic, they would stop paying there own workers salaries and were black listed by most of the training companies as they would never pay there bills, the owner an his team have set up numerous other online nefarious companies to dupe as many people as possible, such a shame that these people are allowed to even operate, they will each get the retribution they duly deserve in due course, that is the only consulation.
Nightmare!
I paid £2299 for LGV course back last September. Passed medical & passed theory test and that’s it. What a poor company I chose, awful communication and forgetful. Seems like they just want your money! Now gone into liquidation got the headache of trying to claim any money back. I paid by Visa over the phone and my bank says unless I paid by credit card they can’t help me

Absolute con artists!!!!

Booked three theory tests and lied over and over for half a year about my practical training and test day.
After paying monthly consistently for the duration of time never missed a payment to them. At the end they agreed after many emails sent back and forth complaining about the unprofessional response. Finally they emailed back claiming to refund me £250 after I paid £1600.

I’ve put in over £1000 to doing my hgv training I want a refund. This has made me reluctant to even go with another company who knows if they are all conmen, if one can do it they all can.

Sad to see this news but it is what it is.
Had done up to the practical mod 4 with them. But still needed a retest. Hope they manage to sort things if possible. But sad to see them go. Had a good team in place.

Every review receives the same response - an email has been sent by New Wave detailing what steps we must take in order to claim a refund. There is no email, this is a delaying tactic. Surely this is a case of fraud?

Scam! Con men! Will take your money and run!
Scam!! Please do not book any course with them like I did! They will make up dates for course and come back with rubbish excuses and push you back. They confirmed a refund that never showed up. Luckily I payed with a credit card and was covered.
These are utta con men that ran off with £3500!!
