Skills Train HELP!!!!!!

I started a course with them in April 2007 just a couple of weeks after being signed of work with Stress and Depression.

When the lady came to discuss the course right at the very end she told me that it would cost me £75p/m i explained that i wouldn't be able to pay that due to my then current situation. so after a few phone calls CDF said that they would pay my course fees for me nothing else was mentioned about money apart from the £50 deposit, i don't even have a credit agreement.
When i sent in my first and ONLY assignment that's when the trouble started a began recieving letters saying i was behind with the payments and that i had to bring the payments up to date otherwise they were gonna take me to court. i left it a while as i thought it was a mistake but the letters kept coming so i rang them to explain that i wasn't told i had to repay CDF just that they had paid for it and that i needed to cancel the course as i couldn't make any payments, but they told me i couldn't do that so i left it abit longer
until i recieved a few more letters and rang them again this time the lady was alot nicer to me she told me to send in a letter from my doctor about why i couldn't continue with the course and they would look into cancelling it for me which i did a few weeks later i recieved a letter saying that they can't cancel the course but they would give me more time to complete it whilst maintaining the £75p/m and then i recieve a letter from CDF saying i need to pay for the whole course which is £2700.00 otherwise i will have to go to court,

there is othing i can do and my health isn't any better to even think about doing my second assignment. is there any way i could get them to cancel the course any help/advice is greatly appreciated

Thanks
