Company under "Compulsory Liquidation" - how to claim as a creditor

:mad: My exhilarating story is:

I used Barclays Finance to finance a driving course with The Instructor College back in 2008, paying £3700 to the provider via an interest free loan from Barclays. In turn, I then paid this sum to Barclays within 12 months.

Soon after, I became severely ill and stopped my training with the College, and recently tried to contact them this year in the hope of either recommencing said training or requesting a full refund - only to learn that LVG Ltd, the owner of Red and the Instructor College, entered administration, then Compulsory Liquidation, being ordered to wind up on 28/02/2011.

The new owner of LVG has refused to refund me any of the monies I paid, instead asking for MORE money in exchange for further training to be offered by their own instructors - which I do not want.

£3700 is a lot of money in any context but worse when considering the current climate and that I am still working off my Uni debt.

If there is any prudent recourse to aid my financial healing, then by all means feel free to air your views.

Thanks in advance!
