From the student's standpoint, there may be a Data Protection Act issue. If this student is really wants a pound of flesh over this, it might be worth a word with Trading Standards or the CAB.
I'm sure SFT's administrators and ultimately their purchasers would be interested in how SFT's former sales manager 'happened' to have the contact details of so many ex-SFT students too!
I've seen the ETPA literature, and it is very much reminds me of SFT, in terms of the layout of the pages and the format of the offers being made.
