Help

I have been studying with the OU for two years now, and receieved funding. Then one of my courses I had to fund my self through OUSA. I could not meet the payments due to finincal problems. They decided to get a solictor involved. I wish to contine my studys, but Ou are saying I can not do anything until I repay what is outstanding. I have a dd set up to pay this every month. Any ideas were I can get help to continue my study. As I do not want to take time out or I go on to the higher fees. I need help only 2 more years away before I can do my teacher training. I am a single mum. Many thanks:(

    When did you do your last course as this will determine whether or not you go on to the new fees if you need to take time out.
  • My last course will end in Oct. But if I have to take a year out I go on to new fees.
  • How much are you outstanding ?

    When do you have to register by to start your next course?
