Youngbuzzâworst service Iâve ever come across!!
Hi, my name is Darshan. I have a very bad education background with multiple ATKTs and drops, due to which my profile is very bad, especially when it comes to study abroad option. I have a Computer and IT background.
I spoke to this Youngbuzz study abroad counselors, located at Lower Parel in Mumbai, for checking options for studying in USA. I met a female counselor, whose name is Debharati Bhatt. As most of these counselors are very good at marketing initially and showing a rosy picture, she did the same to me, giving various options and also guarantees that I could get admission and student visa for USA. I had given her all the details of my educational, financial, personal and professional background as I believed that this way she could find out the best option. As I still had my final year KTs remaining, she suggested to go for transferring the credits from Mumbai University to a University in Mumbai. As Iâm already 26 years old, I didnât want to waste much time for Bachelors. I found this option perfect for me. She told me that max. I would need to repeat Bachelors there would be 1- 1&1/2 years. I felt it was good idea, and hence made initial payment to her and started with the process.
She had not informed me about most of the charges involved during the process. There were courier charges, application fees and other documentation charges, which I was not aware of at the first place as it was my first time. Now, as the time passed, I realized I dint get responses from many universities. When I spoke to them they told me it was because my documents were missing and that they canât evaluate my file without them. She was not ever clear herself what exactly the procedure is. I did get acceptance from a few colleges. Now the time came when I wanted to check about my credit transfer. Hence I personally spoke to the university people, and, to my shock they told me the maximum credit transfer possible was so less that I would have to repeat at least 3 years of bachelors again. Even for that purpose I had to get some documents (GPA certificates) which almost cost me Rs. 12000-13000. When I informed this already about this, the option she gave was just pathetic. She said, I should take this option and go there, and after reaching I could speak to college people to get more credits transferred. However when I spoke to college people over the phone, they informed that was the final decision.
This is the worst service I have ever received. Iâve wasted a lot of money behind this. Being from a middle class family, it was not easy for me to arrange for so much money. Now these guys are not willing to take any responsibility. They are playing with life of students and their parentâs money. Iâve written this review, so that after reading this, if I can prevent even 1 person from going to these goons, Iâll be happy. Iâve wasted my money, but I donât want any other student to suffer like I did. Iâm stranded. If you wish more, you can email me at Darshan.growthsol@gmail.com and Iâll give you a detailed encounter. Please Guys be careful when you choose your agent. These people are good for nothing!!!
