Term 3 maintenance cut off and constant messing around

My term 3 maintenance loan has been removed. As well as being hung up on four times on being connected, I have spoken with about 7 agents and a manager since Friday - I was told repeatedly that this had been sorted and I could expect my payment within five working days.
The reasons for the complete removal of my term 3 funding have been various - sometimes I have been told it is something to do with changes in my marital status, sometimes because I was overpaid, either this year or last year. Frankly SFE does not seem to know.
I have no idea what marital status has to do with it, and I have not been given any reasons at all for how I have been overpaid. The agents have been totally unable to enlighten me.
Today I have received new correspondence telling me that I have been overpaid by £6k and my updated payments are saying that a deduction equivalent to my entire term 3 maintenance has been removed. I depend on this money totally and am being threatened with homelessness.
One agent has told me I can expect to wait until 4th June for this to be updated - quite frankly I may well be dead by the time this process has been completed. Another has told me that the information I have been given is automatically generated.
Nobody seems to have a clue what to tell me, I get vast amounts of correspondence giving false or conflicting information, I get messed around by agents, and I get the money I depend on to live taken away. As a full-time student I depend on this and cannot apply for benefits. It is just so disgraceful. I am here to see if there is any advice or information you have about my situation and how I can get the money I depend on restored to me.
Thanks.

It was on facebook messenger but I can't PM you here and I don't want to give my name in public. I said I was asked by Isaac on the student room to refer to him here, I gave my username here and described the problem
