I paid 200 dollars for pvt

Published

I took the nclex this august 2015 and did the pvt, problem is i did it 30mins after my exam, i didnt know about the 24hr rule. They charged me 200 bucks. Is it certain that i have failed?

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.

She took her test in June. Did the PVT b/c she thought she failed since she only received 75 questions

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?

What you are describing are people who received a service. That would compare to sitting for the NCLEX (receiving the service) and then charging the money back...That's fraud! And that's totally different from doing a refund when NO services were rendered.

What you describe does not relate to what we are discussing..NOT in the slightest.

And neither does your airplane refund.

Maybe they should charge a registration "re-stocking" fee of 15% like cell phone companies.

Because it *is* simple.

The service afforded by the $200 fee is not simply registration.

If this was the case any and every time you registered you would be charged a $200.00 Fee. So if you needed to re-schedule your exam..which means REGISTER for a different date you would also be charged another $200 fee.

So therefore it is a registration fee to sit for the exam. That's why one can re-register without incurring the $200 cost so as long as they have not A. Sat for the exam and B. waited fewer than 24hrs to reschedule.

Also, according to the candidate handbook...

No Refunds

There will be no refund of NCLEX registration fees (telephone or via the Internet) for any reason, including, but not limited to:

• Duplicate Registrations

• Failure to reschedule and/or cancel your exam appointment outside of 24 business hours

• Failure to appear for your appointment

Do not submit another registration and fee before calling. If you decide to submit an additional registration, first stop payment on the original payment, verify the stop-payment was processed, then contact Pearson VUE at the appropriate number listed on Page 1 of this bulletin...

So looks like Pearson will not issue you a refund..but there's nothing preventing you from "stopping payment" with your financial institution. They also instruct you to stop payment as they will not issue a refund.

My airplane refund is in comparison to a company saying no refunds once you have registered. Which is the same thing pearson vue says..The exact same concept.

However I never used the service....Sighs............

Lmao nice try though :smug:

Uh, no. Because the airplane carrier canceled. That's not the same thing, at all or close to it. I read the post where you got the refund. Not the same. You registered for a flight then the *airplane carrier* canceled not the other way around. In the cases where people are getting charged for the PVT, Pearson isn't canceling on them. People are trying to create a new date to take the NCLEX. You are comparing apples to oranges.

In their TOS PV says they are not liable for any & all purchases anyone makes.

Doesn't matter if they cancelled...they still said NO refunds once I had registered (pearson does the same) and only wanted to offer me a credit since they had cancelled(pearson does the same for cancelled dates).Even though I did not SIT for the flight...nor did my friend SIT for the 2nd exam. Same concept.

SMH

But you're missing what I'm saying.

The airplane carrier canceled on you.

People are canceling on PV.

They are canceling on PV because they don't plan to sit for another test. This is the same as not showing up to the an NCLEX.

In either case they didn't provide the service. As I outlined before..the service they provide is taking the test...not simply registering.

Even if I had cancelled on them..The same thing applies because I did not receive the service... Which has been my argument from the start.

Both companies have the same refund policy

If they cancel= credit for another flight/test date

If the purchaser cancels= No refund

Point is they may have this refund policy with the customer... But the processing companies don't have to acknowledge it..especially since no service was rendered. And refunds have been given despite their policies.
