Training course gone bust

Hi hope someone can help
2013 I enrolled to do a gas training course which would take approx 2 years. All was well I was on track to complete when after 18 months the company I signed up with went into administration. My course was put on hold whilst another company took over. The new company then restarted my course from scratch altering the course completely. It was done mainly through online learning. After 2 years of constantly doing online work never getting into the centre I received a letter from the new company saying the time limit not he course had elapsed and if I wished to continue it would cost me £500 per week every time I did any manual training (8weeks) was estimated. I had originally paid £4400. I tied speaking to various places citizen's advice etc but a brick wall each time.
I really think the course was put together in a way that I would never get into the centre unless I paid extra.
Please help if poss thanks

How did you pay for the course?Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
How did the other company take over? In what way? Did you agree to new terms with them?
Why did you agree to do something that was going to take over 2 years when you only had six months left?0 -
