Hey, I attended university from September 2013 until January 12th.
I got paid my 2nd lot of loan/grant on the 6th and used most of it for accommodation etc. I got depressed as i hated the course with a passion, and ended up just not going, it eventually got longer and longer until here we are. I was scared to do anything, or was naive to the thought of telling the uni and student finance. I though it would just work out as the uni would know im not attending. I got paid my Third grant/loan awhile ago and i did'nt realise this until i spent some of the loan. Apparently the University told student finance i was still attending and my attendance was fine for some reason. Now im SO scared of the fact that what do i tell student finance or my university? I have an offer for another uni this september... i need some advice? When i ring student finance do i tell them i havent attended since january and tell them i thought it'll sort itself out, or do i ring up saying i want to drop out like i have been attending and hopfully they wont realise? If i have to repay my last two payment cycles of grant/loan, would i have to pay back only the grant's as the loan will be added on to what i repay after i earn 20+ grand a year? I have this 3 month grant in the bank to pay back straight away... I dunno what to do!!! thanks
