Hello
What's the payments bit? I just have a total, so it says tuition loan £9000 then maintenance grant £3731 total student finance you get £12,731. I don't have any payments, I thought you can't get paid the money until you start or enroll at the uni? I've just checked the letter to get that exact amount, and it's from 1st May. So it's at least 3 months since they approved this part of my application.
I've not asked to speak to a manager, do I need to?
I don't do the talking, because of my disability I can't talk fully, so I always have to get someone to call for me. Often mum, but then like she's not on here talking to other students and doesn't know what to ask apparently-or that's what she says. She wants me to talk to them tomorrow, but all the computer bit at the start don't recognise my voice, so I'll get angry with it and make her do it. Although maybe we can do it between us.
It's good to know there is options. I just don't understand what it means. What is an overdraft?
Yes my halls is from the uni, so that sounds like a good option if they will let me do that-but then you say that's for if it comes through late (im assuming that meas like from sfe to your bank takes ages) will that still work if I don't have any letter or evidence its approved and on it's way? It won't take them long to work out I have less loan than the cost for their halls for the year.
I just tried to search for both of those things in option 2 on the unis website, and did not find anything about them.
The only thing I know about a bursary from the uni is because I emailed a few weeks ago, they sent a document that says they get the evidence you send to sfe automatically, and then use that to give you the bursary, it's basically you get £1000 if your house income is less than £25,000 or £600 if its between £26,000 and £36,000. But, SFE don't accept the evidence etc. so then the uni will not get the info from them, so i am assuming I won't be able to get this?
By accepting the equipment do you mean when they turn up and deliver it? I've paid the £200 for a laptop, and then they will contact me in 4-5 days to arrange delivery it says.
I don't know anything about deferring, or how to. Other than you go to uni next year instead.
