Negligent Advice - Huge Fees - No visa No solution
- - Incorrect advice to apply for teaching visa.
- - Qualification deemed fine, but they're not liable.
- - Blunt replies; referred to a colleague; Alan rude.
Incorrectly advised to apply for a teaching visa. I raised the issue of the type of qualification, was told it was fine (but they aren't liable if it isn't) which begs the question 'What exactly are you paying these 'advisors' for?' Advice you cannot rely on and that they are not liable for!
The skills assessment was rejected for the exact reason I raised.
Nothing but blunt replies and attempts to shoo me away to a 'colleague' he refers to.
Alan is rude, lacks genuine expertise of the system and is greedy. Avoid.
- Lack of knowledge og immigration
Preferred solution: Full refund
User's recommendation: Expensive without any justification

Go Matilda SCAMMED ME
- - Paid over £1500 for a templated letter that failed the skills match.
- - After payment they won't speak and only email; they are scammers.
Paid these jokers over £1500 for them to write a simple (templated letter) knowing full well it would fail the skills match.
They kept telling me that they had processed many similar applications and that this one would almost definitely go through. Once they had my money they muttered something about the TRA changing their rules all the time.
AVOID at all costs, once they have your money they will not speak to you, they simply send emails.
SCAMMERS! SCAMMERS !SCAMMERS!

Go Matilda - I had Bad Experience With them.
- - They said I wasn't eligible for a 176 PR and to apply for a temporary visa.
- - I got PR myself and saved money; I believe the reviews are cooked.
I've heard plenty of good things about them, but I had a bad experience with them.
I initially contacted Go Matilda (Australian Visas) Ltd and Alan Collett to get them to submit my visa application and they advised me that I wasn't eligible for a 176 PR and to apply for a temp visa (can't remember the number).
Even trying to prove I was eligible they said I wasn't.
So in the end I applied for the PR visa myself (and got it) and saved a shed load of cash in 2010.
So their incompetence was a good thing for me in the end.
I shared my bad experience about and Alan Collett in Poms in Adelaide - Australia Migration Forum in 2010.
But they covered it with positive reviews to drown my comment.
Now I know and believe the positive reviews about Go Matilda are mostly cooked up...
It is a good thing that someone finally speaks up and let the world know.
You're disgusting....Alan Collett! How could you still be in business with so many victims?
You mean until now no one investigates you just because no one complaint about you? What a shame to Australia!
Replying to
DON'T Engage Go Matilda Visas For Your Visas Application
- - Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas are accused of untrustworthy conduct, upfront fees, poor service, fake reviews, and virtual offices.
Go Matilda Visas and its managing director Alan Collett is a UNYTRUSTWORTH migration agent.
Alan Collett is an accountant of GM Tax and a migration agent of Go Maltilda Visas. He also claims to provide other services like financial planning, businesses for sale, shipping, jobs, telecoms and more.
He projects to be jack-of-all-trade but actually a master of none - HE IS JUST GREEDY!!!
Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas will appear to be an expert before he receives your money. But, once he collected your money, you will hardly hear from him. If you try to contact him, he will always give excuses that he is busy. Why then would he want to collect money from you if he cannot perform what he promised..???
BECAUSE HE IS SIMPLY UNSCRUPULOUS!!! He will do anything for money...!
Most of the positive comments in the forums are controlled by Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas. He engages internet specialists in writing positive comments in forums for a fee to populate the web and to be on the first page. And, to make himself and his company, Go Matilda Visas, to look like a genuine and professional company - IT IS ALL FAKE!!!
He projects to have a group of professionals working together with him but they are all associate networks working independently. The truth is that Alan Collett works alone in his home. All the other services are outsourced.
He boasts that he has offices in Australia, UK, Singapore, Spain and other different countries. They are only registered VIRTUAL OFFICES.
It is a shame that the Australia department of Migration and Border Protection has such a migration agent.
DO NOT Waste your Money and Time to engage Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas. YOU WILL REGRET! You won't miss out anything without engaging him for your visas application. In fact, in engaging Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas, you will end up having more problems.
Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas will offer free initial discussion and confirm his low fee for his services. Once he is engaged and money paid to him, you will end up paying much more, even double, because he will mess up your application. He does not provide proper professional advice.
Ultimately, you will end up going through the whole visas application all over with another migration agent. Bringing yourself a lot of headaches, heartache and frustrations.
You are better off applying it on your own and going through Australia Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/.
Should you use GM Tax and other of his services? First ask yourself, is this man has trustworthy? My experience with him is NO!
The Decision is Yours!
Beware and Avoid Alan Collett and Go Matilda Visas

Hello Anonymous.
Maybe the reason we are still operating in business successfully is because there aren't any "victims" (as you call them) and the so called "complaints" are without any foundation.
Best regards.
I have been working with Allan Collett of Go Matilda for few years. Nobody knows him better than I do.
Most of his visas applications for his clients got rejected. Allan Collett is the most irresponsible migration agent that I ever work with in Australia.
Working with him over the years has also tarnished my reputation and my practise. That's sucks!
I'm sure that if this comment was really from Sarah White she would know how to spell my name correctly ... don't you?
Then the comment must have been made up by you and Sarah.
No, we have better things to do with our time than to create new threads on this website.
Maybe pick up the phone and ask her for yourself?
You said you wouldn't write a templated letter for submission to TRA but that was exactly what you did!
Stop all you nonsense and scam. I wonder how you sleep at night.
Denying every scam that you have done. Denying that we haven't contacted you. Denying that we are not your clients. Denying that we didn't call you.
Pretend that you would resolve the problems.
Pretend that we have the rights to go to the migration authority but knowing how hard it is to proof and get the money back from you. Scam is your profession...you son of a bi...h!
Same old answers, "I have no idea who you are..." and "You have not contacted me..."
Denying and pretending...even been contacted and know who the client is.
Only one word to describe you...rubbish migration agent....!!!
I have no idea who you are - and so far as I know you haven't contacted me directly either.
We would not write a templated letter for submission to TRA "knowing it will fail the skills match", so you must be confusing us with someone else.
To say we don't speak to our clients is clearly also nonsense.
I suspect you are not (and weren't) a client of ours.
You are welcome to send an email to me if you are (or were) a client, or telephone our office in Southampton. I can assure you someone will pick up the telephone and will speak with you!
Best regards.
You have been warned. Why did you still go to him?
