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!
