SFE student loan declined, now what? Should we use a private SF company?
Options
Our son has been declined his student loan by SFE based on residency as we lived away from the UK for 10 years. He doesn't meet the 3 year residency in the UK rule, he is born here and a British passport holder/citizen. Doesn't seem to matter. So my question is which is the best way for us to get financial support? Have no savings and can't afford to pay 800£ per month for his fees. We are not home owners. Should we take a personal loan? Or have our son apply for a loan with a private student loan company? HELP or ADVISE WELCOMED!

You're highly unlikely to get enough loan to cover the fees for 3 years or more.
Help or advice - does he need to go to university right now? Can he work for a bit and then apply? He may find the work more beneficial anyway0
