Means testing
Having worked hard all my life and earned what I've got I get slightly hacked off, as I'm sure many do, with people who try every trick / deceipt to wangle money from anywhere but work ! Even worse when they openly boast about it to people ! The person in question is 32, mature student and getting student loans for a…
Friend needs laser safety glasses for class!
There might be a better place for this thread but I thought I'd start here. My friend is looking for protective eye wear for her new class starting in a week. She needs laser goggles but can't find them for very cheap. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get these, even used would be ok with her. I told her I'd…

Utterly skint :/
Hi there, I'm mostly looking for advice. I've gone and gotten myself into a stupid situation. The short of it is I have a maxed out overdraft of 1600 and a student loan which falls about 100 quid short of rent. The long of it is this. I've really never been in a bad situation with money before; I've sustained myself as…
Is it possible ?
Hi everyone, It has taken me a long time to summon the courage to post my question on here, so here goes. First off I will say I am ashamed of my choices in the past and have learnt from my mistakes and want to be the best I can for myself and my family. I am classed as a ' would be mature ' student, when I was 18 I…
More than one Student Account?
Hi all, I was wondering, whilst I know most/all banks have it as a condition that you must only have one student account and that it must be with them, how could they possibly know if you had more than one? Thanks, Chris
