Student loan amoun owed error

Lc3590

Hello all.!
1st time poster so if I miss any info please let me know...
Basically I started uni in 2008 taking a £3300 tuition fee loan and £2100 in another loan.
In jan 09 I decided it wasn't for me and subsequently left, I informed
My uni and signed some paperwork agreeing I would pay the first £1572 plus ~£400 for a pro rata'd amount, as well as £750 of the loan I had received.!
I informed SLC I was leaving as well of a change of address, when I checked online later that year the amount I owed was correct (~£2500) just checked online again today after around 18 months and it says I know owe a other £2200 looking at the payments looks as though the university didn't tell them I left and it shows they have paid the uni.
I am wondering on how to go about confirming I left uni, I have searched high and low but cannot find anything anywhere confirming I left in Jan 09. I am going to ring the university 1st thing tomorrow but wondered if people had any advice on the best action to take in order to inform SLC of this info... From what I have reads looks like I'm for a load of in :-))

Thanks in advance!!

[EDIT: Epic fail at my 1st forum title...;-(( I blame the iPhone]

I have nothing else to suggest other than your suggested course of action. If you have nothing to prove you left uni when you say you did you need to get confirmation from the university.

When you do have the proof, go back and talk to the SLC and see what the next steps are for removing that amount from your outstanding loan.

Do you mean you had to pay back a proportion when you first left - and that the remainder would then be repaid on normal student loan terms (ie after you started earning sufficent income)?

You signed some paperwork saying what needed to be paid back - who created that document and calculated the amount? Uni or student loans company?

You signed up for a fee loan, and as you were in attendance after the 1st December, your university were entitled to claim the payment from the SLC as per your signed contract.

Leaving university does not mean you are not liable for the full years tuition, they just allowed you to pay the fees over the year.

However you state that the university agreed you could leave without paying the full amount, so this is what you need to copy and fax/post to the university asking for an explanation as to why they have claimed more. Do you have any paperwork or receipts to support this? Without any evidence of them allowing you to break your contract you would be liable for the full amount.
