I can't really help with this problem as such, but I have had an experience with a rent contract dispute that may help. My dispute was resolved simply by what I believe was my own persistence. I was writing letters on a regular basis - lengthy letters displaying all the valid points and requiring detailed replies. I would request to speak to someone higher up the ladder each time. It appeared after about 5 months that they simply got bored of me. They seemed to drop the matter because they couldn't be bothered dealing with it any more, and I was released from an unjust £4000 payment that they had me tied to.

the only thing to be concerned about is that universities have very clear procedures and rules to follow - simply because a lot of students have tried to milk the system to their advantage and this makes sure that those who really need it, get it. there are hoops to jump through and that's the way to go - make sure as much as possible that they are. a simple pestering policy won't work if it isn't going through the correct process.

OP - have you had any luck speaking to anyone in your department or in student services?
