Formal Demand for Payment!!!!

lovelyjay,

Student loans from the SLC are definitely not credit checked.

You can even apply and get one while bankrupt apparently.:eek:

So you should be fine getting one when you become eligible.

Thank you every one.

Well first of all i have rang cab and will be going next week. My university will not help me because I am on an access course (year 0 of my degree)
This is also why i have not got a student loan.

My main worry is this debt will prevent me getting a student loan in the future.

Thank you everyone you have all been very helpful

Courses that count as year 0 of a degree are usually eligible for a student loan but perhaps yours is different. Are you getting your Adult Learning Grant? Which university are you studying at?

I think what other posters have misunderstood is that you can't get student loans on access courses (they are not technically year 0 of a degree). These are not university courses (although they may be taught in universities as well as colleges) and as such don't meet the criteria for the student loan.

They are a one or two year course which give 'access' to a university place via a non standard route, ie people who have been out of the learning environment for some time (over 21's) and do not have the required A levels.

Once you actually pass the access course and enrol on your degree course the student loan option will be available to you.

That's what I was trying to say! Thanks for clarifying things.

I do wish people would give adequate, accurate information so that those of us who're trying to help them don't go haring off in the wrong direction!

Thank you all again

I wasnt trying to give you incorrect information but i wasnt sure how to explain why i'm not funded while i'm at university. I'm studying to gain credits so that i can get on to the degree.

I'm at Derby University.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you get an Adult Learning Grant?
