The credit there is the usual credit unit e.g 3units or 4 units. While the grade is the score u have in the courses e.g A or B or C but u will convert it to German grade I.e A= 1.0, B= 1.8, C= 2.5 etc

Thank you very much for your response.

With all due respect, I would like to state that your organization in Germany is NOT professional and NOT competent.

If I have any close person wanting to open a blocked account I will advise NOT to use Coracle.

I am still having a very bad experience using your company and its not changed since October. Please note, even if this is my own experience, many other people whom I have related with over here in Germany also have one issue or the other. Not to say that everyone using your company has issues, but many do and it all bores down to the fact that your company does not have organization not standard.

Once again, I will put this here so that anybody planning to open a blocked account can read what really is going on.

I arrived in October to Germany and informed Coracle i wanted to increase my blocked account to 10,236 since I came in with 8840. I returned the first payout they sent to me the same day and sent the balance to make it 10,236. A few days later, I got the confirmation mail of 10,236 on 4th November.

After series of back and forth mails, shouting and crying I got my first payout 20th November. I was lucky to have paid for my accommodation and insurance of October and November before I left Nigeria, if not, I would have been stranded and really frustrated. They kept lying that they had initiated the transfer and that they have issues with their bank. I could not buy winter jackets and shoes because I had no money.
The pay out was NOT complete, they had only paid me 720 X 2 = 1440 instead of 853 X 2 = 1706. After series of mails, they said they would effect it during December payout.

Since they do not have a platform where you can check how much is remaining in your blocked account (Unlike other ones) I wrote to them to send me a statement of my account with them for me to be sure we are both on the same page, low and behold, they sent me a wrong value. I was shocked, but thankfully, I also have a local excel sheet where I keep all transactions. I made a screenshot of this and sent to them, then they argued again. I mailed them again, they checked and corrected the value. That was when it dawned on me that they are not organized.

A few days later, I got notification from my school that my stipend had been paid two weeks earlier into my blocked account mistakenly. I was shocked why Coracle did not inform me of any deposit since 2 weeks back. I mailed them and they confirmed they got the money.
But, why did you not inform me? No reply.
Ok, how do I get this money since it is not a blocked money? No reply.
It took me another 2 weeks of mails and calls, before they agreed to send it.
Since early December, up till this moment of typing this, I have not received the money. Once again, they said they initiated it and their bank has issues.
My December and January payouts are still 720 and not the 853 which they said they would correct, it has still NOT been corrected.

The annoying thing is that, they hang up calls whenever you call them. You can send 20 mails before you get a response to 1. Their customer care is very wack and the whole organization is nothing to behold.

I am still on this case and trying to get my money, so if you read this story, please, take time to think before you decide which way to go.
Some of my classmates are using them without any hassles, while some are also having issues.
There are no organizations without issues, but are they ready to solve the issue? With Coracle, its hard.

Sometimes, I have to beg my classmate who is a German to speak with them maybe they would respect a local citizen.

So, here is my story and I hope you it ends well. But, I would not want anyone to also go through what I have gone through.

@CoracleNG, you can ask "Jules" in your German office since he is the only person that sometimes picks my calls or replies my mails.

Tell your organization to fix up because your name is not being sung well.

Cheers!

Happy new year Guys.

First I want to thank God for everything and also I would like to appreciate you all for the very useful information you have been sharing on this platform, I mean who would believe, my first enquiry email to DE for MBA was sent on August 20th 2019 and I arrived DE on the 18th of November 2019, Every step I took, was guided by the things people shared here.

Never let people's negative experience stop you no matter how similar your case is, everyone's grace is different.
My story would be left for another day but a few friends I met here knew what I went through.
I had so many helpers come at the right time.
While you await you interview/AM/Visa, channel all your energy to learning German, the importance cannot be like 15 job rejections in one month because of the German language deficiency.

You can Download this app and start to practice, its been helpful in the last one week.

With regards to proof of financial means, Does anyone here know how much has to be in the account of ur sponsors residing in Germany. i.e How much does a German resident need to have in his account if he wants to make a formal obligation of sponsorship for an Msc student.
