I'm getting charged international fees! :O!

I sent the fee assessment questionnaire ages ago and then 1 week after i receive an offer and it says i'll be charged home fees. This was back in January and today I receive a letter and it says I didn't send the fee assessment on the 21 day period when I did and it also says they'll be charging me international fees! JESUS CHRIST! I rang them up and they said they'll give me a call back once the student service admin is here.. dude, WTF!? This is screwed... IM SCREWED! AM I!?

Why are you getting charged international fees?
Chill! Let them call you back. There's clearly been a misunderstanding... don't worry :smile:

I have no idea. Well, last year when we were filling out the UCAS form, I accidentally put I was settled in the UK so I guess I got sent the fee assessment for that reason. Filled it out anyway and now I get a letter saying I'll be charged with international fees... I need to ring UCAS and tell them to change my residence is it? to British born... because obviously, I'm British born. Ha.

I'm sure it's a misunderstanding. I was being told I was a Scotsman who immigrated to Singapore at one point by Newcastle.

Lol... wow. It sucks, these misunderstandings don't it? Well I rang UCAS and they changed it to UK/EU National on the "resedential" bit... I think I'll ring SHU again.

S'ok, you just have to think about how many applicants there are and lots of people have to fill these forms out (me included) and humans aren't immune to error! lol

No. I'd never even step foot in Scotland or Singapore when the claim was made.
