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.

You are still comparing apples & oranges. If you pay for a doctors appointment & don't show up, you aren't gonna get a refund. That's how life works.

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:

In your airplane refund scenario, the airline canceled on you. It was not your intentional doing to have the flight be canceled. You had genuine recourse and were owed a refund.

It is my understanding that a significant amount of contract law is litigated based on INTENT. If a person intends to submit payment with no intent to receive services should they pass, then no, they are not legally due a refund.

Intent.

I go to PV after taking the exam, not knowing if I passed or not.

I intentionally register for an exam KNOWING it is in duplication and not needed if I passed.

I intentionally submit authorization to charge my card. TWICE.

I do NOT intend to take the exam (receive services).

My INTENT is to not receive any services when I intend to click submit.

I imagine the very well-paid and good lawyers representing PV will have no problem using intent as their defense. Intent is a huge part of litigation.

Yes, I know this post is incredibly redundant but I wanted to break it down in a couple of different ways so my point is clear.

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.

Ah, that's where you are mistaken. The SERVICE that is provided for $200 IS THE REGISTRATION. THAT service IS provided once the fee is paid for it. Whether the consumer chooses to schedule an exam and not go, schedule an exam and go, or not schedule an exam at all has NO bearing on the refund issue.

Pearson Vue takes a person's $200 and gives them opportunity to schedule and take an exam in one of their testing centers. They owe the candidate NOTHING beyond the registration....AND the opportunity to take the exam! The consumer is NOT owed money back if the consumer does not take the exam...for ANY REASON. As long as PV gives that consumer the opportunity to take it and they don't...NOT their problem, SERVICE PROVIDED.

Pearson Vue warns consumers that if they create a duplicate registration--that is, a registration that is unnecessary, as the one they have sufficed---then they are NOT DUE anything in the way of a refund because the service was, in fact, provided. The consumer who disregards the terms of service and intentionally creates a duplicate registration is in the wrong....NOT Pearson Vue.

The service WAS DELIVERED, and that is what we are trying so hard to get across here. Since you agree that someone reneging on payment for a service rendered is fraud, then you completely agree that arguing for a refund from Pearson Vue because they stupidly did a game and got charged is ALSO fraud. Claiming they didn't know they were being charged (and they did know) is fraud. And, finally, since they DID receive the service they paid for---whether or not they chose to or needed to use it--is irrelevant.

Seriously excellent statements. The person playing the PVT game has NO INTENTION of taking an exam if they have passed. So...if they passed.....they got exactly what they paid for: an exam they will not take! Service provided EXACTLY as described.

Thank you. I spent a large part of my life engaged in an awesome opportunity and as a support for others experiencing the same. There were contracts involved that involved situations not yet legally regulated in many states. Anytime you'd see a dispute, the bottom line always came down to intent, thankfully. Those who should have been protected, were, due to the ability to prove intent.

A friend of mine was able to get her PVT money refunded by going through her credit card company.

By lying and saying they never made the purchase. Nothing like a little fraud to kick off your nursing career.

Curious - what did she tell the CC company to get her money back?

Careful, LOL....you don't want to contribute to the situation (accessory??) by encouraging someone to post an effective fraud technique!

And since QuietRiot's friend had a $200 charge applied because she did PVT....but had PASSED....might be nice if she/he posted his/her experience of "it DIDN'T work for me" for all those who swear this scenario NEVER happens. :sarcastic: There are those who swear that no charge will go through if you passed. Well, if QR is not lying, or his friend is not lying (and I have no reason to believe otherwise), then the friend had the PVT BE WRONG.

WARNING: A COB is about to post some thoughts regarding the PVT. Read at your own risk!

In the Dark Ages, we took the 'State Board Exam'. It was offered only twice a year, in one or two locations per state. You sat in a gigantic open room, and - over the course of TWO DAYS - answered 1500 ( that is one thousand, five hundred) questions with a #2 pencil.

EIGHT WEEKS LATER- you received in the mail (as in an envelope delivered to your house) the notification of passing or failing.

Now, if we could wait for the Magical Envelope- you guys can wait 48-72 hours without pi$$ing away $200. STOP IT ALREADY!

LOL...mine came in the mail when I was at work. I remember asking my Mom, "Is it fat or is it thin?" Because, as most COB know, "if it was thin, you were in."

I did the pvt trick right after I tested and got the good pop up using a credit card with no funds in it. Got my results in today and I passed! The trick does work! Good luck to anyone who are planning to take the nclex! The hardest test I ever took😕 but anything is possible!☺️

Anecdotal experience is correlation not causation. There is NO guarantee that when you attempt to create a duplicate registration in violation of PV ToS and are prevented because there is an existing registration that you passed with 100% certainty. (Aka PVT) it's nothing more than a magic 8 ball, if "correct" of course the "trick works" as in your case.
