Ask accommodation

I'm having so much trouble paying for accommodation. My student account took ages to set up, and when I tried to set up a standing order for some reason they couldn't do it. I don't know what to do now I emailed accommodation (using the ugaccommodation address) last Monday to explain that I needed to wait for my student account to register, but didn't get a reply. After finding out today that they couldn't set up a standing order I tried ringing the accommodation office but they were shut (my fault for not ringing before 5...) and I'm now worried that I'm over a week late with my payment and don't even know how to pay now the standing order isn't working. What can I do?

Im not an official 'helper' on accommodation, the praise goes to BrenLee and La Trampa. However, based on my recent experience there is nothing to panic over, trust me i panic for no reason.

Simply find your student loan company letter, which has the break down of your student loan. It should have the dates of your payments etc. Then find a scanner, scan it and attach it to the email you send to [email protected] explaining your financial position and reasons for requesting a delay. Make sure its titled 'Accomodation fees'.

She will have received it even if you don't find a reply within one or two days. But within three days she replied to me.

Then go to http://winster.nottingham.ac.uk/AccomApp/new_students/payment_mandate.asp to print the mandate and then go to your local branch and give it in personally.

I did all this and after much stressing and panicking have had my payment delayed till 13th of October.

Good luck.

Should be but you ought to email [email protected] to make sure.

can you tell me what the insurance included in fees covers?]
