Mis-sold degree

JamesN

Hi all,

I attended university for a brief time way back in 2007. I know it is a while back...

I ended up leaving before the end of the first term because the course was totally mis-sold in relation to content. I've just been going through my student loan (as I then went to a different uni the following year and completed the 3 year course). I've been charged a full terms worth of fees which I would expect.

However, do I have any argument to go back and reclaim that on the basis that it was mis-sold? It was advertised as a pure maths course but was about 90% statistics based which never interested me.

I'm expecting I'll have to chalk it up as experience but if I can knock my loan down by £900 on that basis, I think its worth a couple hours of effort. The problem I'll have is proving it was mis-sold as I don't have any materials to prove this....

Too late, you have 6 years to make such a claim even if it's possible so you're well past that time.

The course modules would have shown the stats, if you choose not to read them you cannot complain.

OP how will you go forward with your claim then if you are claiming a miss-sale?
They won't just write you a cheque just because you write to them.

Nope. They listed what the course would include not specific modules. The list was about 10 items long and none of it was statistics based. I wouldn't claim miss-selling if it wasn't miss-sold?

I'll have to chalk it down to experience then. Thanks for all your inputs.
