“I signed up with the boss of elementary driving...”

I signed up with the boss of elementary driving academy in Bodmin Cornwall in August 2009. When i called him about becoming a driving instructor he seemed to be very informative about the course that he was running and that he was much cheaper than the bigger driving schools than ran the same course. I also made it very clear to him that i had dyslexia and that i was very worried about getting through the part 1 which is the theory test and the hazard perception. after doing this he said it would not be a problem because he ran a course with cost £2,500 which entitled me to unlimited training. which i thort sounding really good for my circumstances. After this i paid him that sum of money and really through out that two years i have had nothing but excusses why he could not come around for a lesson that was pre arranged over the phone. Or he would not even contact me too say he would not be coming around it was always me doing the chasing around for something that i have paid him to train me on. As a positive note when he did come around i found that the information that he gave me was very good. The type of excusses that i would get were one of his kinds was taken ill, bad traffic, running late thanks to the dsa, away working with the ambulance service, away camping, or just simply running late. After all of this i can't get hold of him via his mobile or is house telephone and i still have all three parts to complete after two years of signing up. I have now since been told that he has gone bankrupt.
