student loans = bunch of chumps

[daf]

got a letter advising me that i haven't applied for any maintenance* [fees paying, student grant etc.]

phoned my lea, who are sending me the requisite forms to fill out [probably with blood, in triplicate]... it's gonna be touch and go whether i can get this sorted before the uni throw me out for non-payment of fees

rubbish



* patently rubbish, a: i requested them and b: why anyone would opt not to have their fees payed is beyond me

They won't throw you out if you explain what's happened, and that it's not your fault.

Really are a bunch of idiots, and i hope it gets sorted soon. Go down to Laycock street armed and dangerous! Make them pay!

For a brief second there, I thought Aylesbury was outside Glasgow (?)

Go and talk to your student union rep anyway hon, it's what they're there for.

just outside Glasgow btw.

I agree - you should go and speak to the uni people now, so that they're aware of what's happening.

I'm in the same boat at the moment, racing against the deadline cos some chump told me I wouldn't be eligible for anything this year because I'm working, which turns out to be not strictly true (I am eligible anyway, and I won't be working in a week's time).

Good luck!
