My son started his uni course yesterday but is worried that he may have to return home as student finance will not pay his 1st year tuition fees they said that year 2 and 3 they will pay so I'm really confused when my son left 6th form he was unable to originally go on this course he is now on due to not enough u can points so as he didn't want to take a year of he started at college he is statemented but on his first year at college he was not so we managed to get him statemented but the college was not very helpful with him. He didn't do well enough to pass his first year so was told by the college that he could not return until Feb last year. in this time student finance stopped paying him his loans and asked for him to pay them back. as I'm on very low income I couldn't afford for him to travel so he was unable to return all the time. He had applied for uni and was pleased to get an invite to join them he is living up at the uni as it's to far to travel every day student finance have excepted him for loans but not first year tuition he has been on the phone to them for most of July and August but with no luck his last chance was to speak to the uni and ask them if they could set up a payment plan as he is quite willing to pay this year to them his self. But they have told him no and they need 4500 for him to stay on the course I was wondering why student finance won't pay for this year as he is paying them back monthly for money they said he owes I'm at the end of my teather and feel bad as i can not do much for him he is serverly dyslexic and dyspraxic and needs help with paper work and forms. it seems no one wants to help him and as I live to far away to be able to pop in the uni and speak with them it's like no one wants to help him. I really don't know what else I can do
