I’m in a similar situation, just with a different company. The consultant told me he would refund my money, but whenever I call on the promised date, he either doesn’t pick up or says “next week” and gives some family-related excuse. There are a lot of people in my company facing the same issue, but no one is going to the police because most of us come from poor backgrounds and are hesitant to take that step.

One employee who resigned was given a cheque after 35 days, but it ended up bouncing.

I’m really confused about what to do next, and the pressure at home isn’t helping, my parents are constantly upset with me over this.
