1. Negotiation with educational institutions: Consumers can try to negotiate with educational institutions and ask for a refund of the paid fees. If the educational institution has closed down, you can contact the person in charge of the educational institution or the creditor and ask for a refund of your own fees.

2. Seek the help of consumer associations: If negotiation fails, consumers can seek the help of local consumer associations, legal aid or arbitration. Consumer associations can provide guidance on relevant laws, regulations and handling methods.

3. Bring a lawsuit: If the refund is hopeless, consumers can consider bringing a lawsuit to the court to ask the educational institution to refund the paid fees. However, it should be noted that the litigation process may be rather long, and it may not be possible to recover all the expenses.

Information required to recover funds from closed educational institutions is as follows:

1, proof of payment: students need to provide proof of payment to prove that they have paid tuition fees and related expenses.

2. Contracts and their changes: Students need to provide signed contracts and their changes to prove their legal relationship with educational institutions.

3. Closing announcement and relevant evidence: Students need to provide relevant announcements about the closure of educational institutions and other evidence to prove that educational institutions have been closed, such as media reports and notices from government departments.

4. Proof of relevant laws, regulations and policies: Students need to know about relevant education laws, regulations and policies, and provide proof of relevant laws, regulations and policies to prove that their claim for compensation is legal and reasonable.

5. Proof materials such as witness testimony: Students can provide proof materials such as witness testimony to prove the authenticity and rationality of their claim for recovery.

To sum up, if consumers pay fees through third-party platforms, such as Alipay and WeChat, they can make complaints and appeals to the platform and ask for a refund of their fees.
