Ginger,
Sorry to hear about your experiences, however Mike does come from the same line of crooks as Colin Green, Tony Kember etc...all plied their trade at SFT, and in the case of Kember his was the chief flight examiner for many years. Hence the reason the CAA do not want to get involved, I believe they are as culpable as the three amigos and if they had any sense of morality would have shut PFT down ages ago when you consider the first time pass rate was 5%.
There is a story circulating that a student of PFT paid £5k+ into their account in the form of a cdl, this person has now got a huge debt and nothing to show for it, sadly in a situation like this the person would have no option but to deposit the monies directly to the company.
