Unbelievable!
A new high (or should it be low?) in the annals of Scientology stupidity (Scipidity?).
Yes, I know that they are incredibly stupid, but to actually put this in writing and send it to you, is dumb beyond all comprehension. The sad thing is, this whole process probably makes total ‘sense’ to this Mike Ellis F$%kwit.
Firstly, their policy says that they can’t give a refund unless you fill in the CVB form.
So, you fill in the form and then the IJC says that it hasn’t been completed properly and that you have to do it in person at an org. But then, in the next breath, they say that because you have left the CoS, you are not allowed to actually enter an org and so cannot complete the form!
I expect the IJC has a form letter template called ‘Catch-22 Letter – LOL.doc’ which he uses for cases such as this.
You might want to send this to the Tampa Bay Times, they did a story on a couple trying to take the cult to court:

The judge ruled that they had to use the cult’s own internal arbitration process. But here we have evidence that the cult doesn’t allow anyone to actual
use their own arbitration process.
Criminal – plain and simple.
My advice would be to make a lot of noise down there in SA. Send copies to the media, your MP, any trade bodies / trading standards etc. Especially any politicians / religious leaders / councillors who have shown support for the cult. Then get legal advice and have someone send them a very strongly-worded letter promising legal action.
You have to make it clear to these wankers that it is going to be less painful to pay up.
