At the moment if you fail to pay, it's not a debt on their books.
Anyway ... so where's the full SOA so the wonderful people here can help ...0 -
just remember if you quit and want a student loan the year after you may not get it unless you have medical proof for leaving, I would consider going to access to learning fund at your college they may help.
I am a parent helping two through uni, one of them quit twice and it HURTS financialy.0 -

If you can't afford to pay those monthly bills you could try going to a debt adviser and get them to help you renegotiate your payments. If you go to a registered debt adviser, do a financial statement and keep up with agreed payments many of your creditors will agree to a lower payments.
You can get free debt advice from your local Citizen's Advice Bureau - find yours here http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/getadvice
