If you were not married then you have no rights of residence and cannot get PR.

What was your immigration status before you got your residence card?
Your count for PR as a durable partner starts on the date your residence card was issued NOT the start of your relationship.
If your relationship has ended, then so has your rights based on your EU partner.

In order for us to assist you further, give us your whole immigration history, including full dates for all visas/permits issued, all applications made and any appeals/administrative reviews.

simple, there is no appeal in my all cases,just came on student visa, 14/11 and then got me to investigation with my gf when they took me at that time i didnt apply for anything they investigated because of some one else , and at that time my visa finished because they revoked me and they also took my gf documents for 4 months, then ukba gave me a letter which shows u r outstanding with us, and give me permission u can apply for ur student visa or family so i did on family, so from nov 2012 to march 2015 i were in investigations but my gf was working like more then 50k per years, she had paid around 6k £every years tax, 25 feb 2015 i got residence documentation of 5 years but now we brok up, i have my own work, full time business , full paying taxes wth good history its so confusing now for me. i did read a section in eea regulations if u lived with spouse or gf for more then 3 years u can get ur pr?

Unfortunately, I think you misread. Boy/girl friends are not
family members. They cannot
retain the right of residence.

, if your marriage or civil partnership to an EEA National has broken down, you will retain a right of residence in the UK if you meet the following requirements:
The marriage or partnership lasted for at least three years immediately before divorce, annulment or dissolution proceedings started, and
You and your spouse/civil partner had lived in the UK for at least one year during the duration of the marriage or civil partnership, or
The former spouse/civil partner of the EEA National has custody or a right of access to the children in the UK, or
There are particularly difficult circumstances justifying the retention of the right of residence.
In such circumstances, a family member retains the right of residence if:
They are a non-EEA national but are working or self-employed, or
They are a self-sufficient person, or
They are the family member of a person in the UK who is either a worker, self-employed or a self-sufficient person."
What do you make of this? If what you and your colleagues said earlier about 'durable relationship' being less eligible than the categories mentioned above, then I'm finding their response very irrelevant and misleading as I had not mentioned marriage nor civil partnership, I mentioned 'durable relationship'.
There's yet truth to find

If you were married or in a (same-sex) civil relationship and you divorced, then you would have retained a right of residence. Spouses and civil partners are direct family members.
If you were issued a Residence Card as a durable partner and you were not married to your partner, you do not have a right to retain residence. You were an extended family member and the regulations that apply are completely different.
And yes, there are differences between the EU law for spouses/civil partners and for durable partners.

Agree with secret.simon.
They issued a residence card to you as an
extended family member, not as a
family member.
You were neither
married nor had a
civil partnership with your partner.

Your status in law is that of an extended family member.
The provision for retaining right of residence only applies to spouses and civil partners. It does not apply to durable partners.

Or look at applying for a visa under the UK Immigration rules (Tiers 2 or 4).

I would suggest that you start planning for the eventuality that you would have to leave. Especially if you have a business, you would want to make appropriate provisions for administering your business from overseas.

Forgive her and get back together or make plans for leaving.
She holds the cards, not you.

They cannot continue to treat you as a family member because you now fail
