SFE blocked payments - cant pay tuition fee

Hi,

i’m due to finish uni on 2nd may and graduate in july.

SFE have said they have blocked my payments as they overpaid in 1st year and because i didn’t raise the issue (i genuinely didn’t know as i get full funding and thought it was the correct amount) they have blocked my maintenance loan and tuition payment. i appealed it to the highest level and got nowhere with it.

i have got a part time job so i can do without my maintenance loan but i can’t find £6940 for my tuition fee.

i spoke to my uni and they said i have to pay it by 28th may but i cannot find the money anywhere, ive applied for government help (declined), tried personal loans credit cards etc (all declined) and even tried a gofundme but its getting no traction.

i genuinely don’t know how i will finish the course and SFE said i won’t be eligible for any finance for 6 years so resitting a year isn’t an option.

can anyone advise? i’ve exhausted all options and just looking for any similar experiences or advise on what to do next.

i’ll be absolutely devastated if i have to leave this close to the end when ive put everything into doing this and don’t see any other way without doing it.

thanks for reading!
