Correct .... you can not be legally held to an illegal contract.

Except TOS are legal contracts that you sign when you sign up whether you read them or not.

You need to read some posts by RNsRWe. She explains it beautifully as to why you can't get your money back. If I find it, I'll post it.

She can't explain why you can't get your money back..unless she's the one rendering a refund.

Most merchant processing companies frown upon blanket no refund policies....especially when no services was rendered.

Furthermore, I personally know someone who did get a refund so the "can't get your money back" is not true. I've also experienced the same issue with an airline carrier and was successfully refunded.

When they say no refunds it means they won't issue you one on their own accord..however when you get your credit card company involved things can be different.

I still suggest you read her posts & the airline carrier is of no comparison to people doing the PVT.

Doesn't matter if you signed it...or read it. You can not be held to the illegal portion of the contract period.

Im not arguing if the TOS is legal or not. But to the fact that illegal portions of contracts are unenforceable

Both have TOS that say no refunds! The TOS is the logic used for those saying it's impossible to get a refund, so the connection is there.

Moreso it's no need to read her OPINION on how one can't get a refund, when I know someone who did get a refund thus making the post inaccurate.

She quoted me so I got confused. Sorry!

No problem....but....I actually never did quote you. Sometimes on the mobile app things look weird, so maybe that's the confusion. But I really never even referred to you, and instead was referring to a different poster. Regardless....it is what it is :)

It's in comparison to no refund and when no service was rendered. Both have TOS that say no refund...so the connection is there.

More so it's no need to read it because I know someone who got her money back...so she can't explain to me how you can't get a refund when I know it's not true. Lol

True a nursing comparison would be a home health agency that has a permanent no compete clause. It's illegal an unenforceable but many don't pursue to find out the legality, even if you signed agreeing to an illegal non-compete clause it doesn't matter no civil court would enforce it. Just like you can't sue your drug dealer for shorting you on narcotics.

With Pearson it depends on the current wording, the person who got a refund how long ago? Just curious as I know they changed the terms in recent months.

The plural of anecdote is not data. An example of a personal anecdote does not give validity to the notion that EVERYONE should expect the same outcome. In fact, for the reasons provided, they should NOT. And if your friend did manage to get a refund FROM HER BANK that covers the credit card, that still is no indication whatsoever that Pearson Vue took the hit. And banks are free to reverse their decisions, and people have gotten notices MONTHS after a complaint that they did, in fact, lose.

Your friend's position in her one situation means nothing in the big picture, sorry.

No, because you were trying to go on the flight & then the *airline* canceled the flight. Whereas these people are trying to schedule another NCLEX exam to try to see if they passed or failed. So if a person over slept on the day of their NCLEX should they be refunded?

Service offered=Registration for an exam, date and time to be determined later.

The service is offered without refund opportunity. Pearson Vue "asks" the consumer to be certain he/she wants to register now, PAY now, as there will be no cancellation of said service and therefore no refund of said fee. Pearson Vue did not cancel the service. The consumer owes the fee for scheduling it.

To have the consumer file a complaint stating as the reason for the complaint that he/she "was only playing a game online" and therefore shouldn't be responsible for authorizing the charge (that he/she DID authorize) looks a little stupid, IMHO.

Seems pretty simple to me, honestly.

Because it *is* simple.

People will always try to back out of paying for something when it is owed. Ok, SOME people will do this....others have ethics to lean on.

There ARE medical offices that will send out a bill to someone who is a chronic screw-up, that is, the person is known for scheduling appointments and not showing up. No fee is paid in advance, of course, BUT the agreement at the time of scheduling is that the patient will give one day's notice if a cancellation is needed. The doctor, the staff, all agree to BE THERE when the patient is due to arrive. Patient blows them off, and they waste their time? For an increasing number of professionals, a bill is soon on the way to the inconsiderate patient, and deservedly so.

People who pay for a service and then have regrets so they take the coward's way out and have their bank stop payment? AFTER the service is rendered? Real losers, IMHO, and an obvious reason for increasing costs and fees passed along TO THE REST OF US who DO pay our bills. Someone's gotta eat those costs, and guess who it is? Anyone?
