Refund - Difficult

40.00%
Industry Average
Take your money and then near the start of the lessons they say no instructors available and offer to make you a refund so you have a very short time to find spaces somewhere else which is very difficult.

Awful company - picked my son up - drove him 20 minutes away - he drove for 10 minutes - instructor drove back. Tried to complain to customer services , completely unresponsive and eventually offered £10 refund

I recommend not becoming an instructor for billplant as they take your money and don’t get back to you for weeks and weeks Of trying to contact them and when asked for refund they do not get back to you at all even tho you don’t agree to terms on condition

Even a 1 star rating is too high I paid £350 for 10 lessons and told them my son turned 17 on 7 January Got a text from an instructor, Melissa, on 27 Dec to say she had Saturday mornings available. We were on holiday on 11 Jan so he could start on 18 Jan. She said she wasn't prepared to wait as it was 3 weeks lost money to her. I explained that i'd put on the website he wasn't 17 until 7th so it was really only one week, and i offered to pay her £36 for the 11th just to keep the slot. She said she only did 2 hour lessons so wanted 2 hours of the block of 10 if we wanted to keep the slot. This just felt like blackmail I agreed, but then got a text from Bill Plant saying she was no longer available On 14 January they said they couldn't find another instructor so would refund by 24 January, and two unanswered emails and a phone call later, still no refund! So basically you have to pay them instantly, and then just hold on to your money

Shannon goodhead.or Shannon Turner. What ever you want to call yourself. Payed for the lessons and cancelled one before test day. Said will refund. Not answering calls or text. Called Bill plant driving shool and thay told me to email them. Still waiting 3 months on. Stay well clear.

I had a bad experience with one of the instructors at bill plant, she would always reschedule and push back my driving lessons by 1 or 2 hours and she took 2 days after pestering her to send a refund.

BOOK AT YOUR OWN RISK. Booked a session online - after two weeks they couldn't find an instructor. Phoned them up and said I would get a refund into my account the following week. It's been 3 weeks no refund and everytime I call them they put me on hold.
