Paying tuition fees if you cancel your studies?

Questioner

I have registered for a study. They insisted on timely registration to be sure of a place. I was not sure yet whether I wanted to follow this study. I have had contact a few times but I have not submitted any tracks, had an official intake interview etc. and 'suddenly' I was accepted for the study. On second thought I wanted to cancel this. And now I have to pay 40%. It is stated in the conditions that I had to accept but I feel misled in the entire procedure. In addition, I find it strange that if I cancel so far in advance I still have to pay so many costs. Can you look into the legal aspects of this?

Usually, only lessons taken need to be paid for. Based on your story, 40% seems high if you have not taken any other lessons. In order to be able to give sound advice, it is important to read all documents (and general terms and conditions). Feel free to contact us without obligation to discuss your file (tel. 06-49175526).
