Hi.
Im 36 years old and i've just handed in my notice following maternity leave and will be going on to universal credit while I care for my son. Im hoping to complete a 1 year level 4 diploma at a Montessori training centre. Is there any financial assistance, student loan or otherwise that you know of that I can apply for?
Thanks

Hi please could you advised on a plan 1 type student loan from 1995? I have very infrequently paid small amount off it from by employer as obviously don't earn enough. But just wondering do the loans expire? Or become null after so many years ? Thank you0

1995 loans were mortgage-style, not plan 1 income-contingent.0 -
Hi Ed,
I wondered if you could help me please.
Basically, I started a degree with the OU in September but realised it wasn't for me early November. I told OU and SFW I was leaving the course. I have only just realised that even after telling SFW I had finished they still paid me the second installment of my student loan in November/December.
What happens now with repaying this. I am self employed and earn £25-30k a year. Do I just repay it the same as if I had qualified. ie £20 a month. They're not going to ask for the whole lot back in one go are they??0 -

Your entitlement will be recalculated based on your withdrawal date. For some reason the withdrawal date hasn't been processed.
Any overpayment is revoverable immediately or via a negotiated payment plan.0 -
Hi,
Hopefully this has not been asked before.....
Our Son wants to do a Postgraduate MA in Acting. Course fees are £14445, also the course is in London....So Mega expensive living costs!!!
For his Undergraduate course, he got a Student Loan, but the minimum, I think because of combined Family Income...
My Questions are, when does our Son cease to be a Dependent? Can he apply for a Student Loan to cover any of the Student Fees/Living Costs & do we need to provide our incomes again, he is working park-time, trying to earn some extra cash & we try & help, whenever we can, but it is tough, & if he moves to London for the 2019/20 Postgraduate MA, It will be even tougher...
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated....

Hi,
I think I have an overpayment or I’m in arrears with a previous student loan I had. I never got the qualification due circumstance and I was undiagnosed with Autism so I left my course. My ex at the time had control over my money so I never knew I was still getting paid my maintenance loan. Anyway, he was paying it back every month and we split up, I had a mental breakdown and was later diagnosed as having autism.
I now want to study with the open university and I have registered for the course. But I was told that if I was in arrears I would not be entitled to the tuition fee loan. I was told if I start paying it back I would be entitled to the tuition fee loan and no more. Is this true? Obviously I want to start paying it back but I can’t afford £50 a month (that I’ve been told by other people not SFE) as I am the sole earner in my household.
I log into my account and it doesn’t say on there about overpayment or arrears? Sorry I’m just worried and I just want to have a qualification that will better my circumstances. Thank you for your time!Current debt: JD Williams: £1,484, Shop Direct: £150.00, Three Mobile: £81.33, Simply be: £2,500, Overdraft: -£997, Vodaphone: £150.000 -

Thanks for the Link....
One final Question, Does anyone know when your Child ceases to be a Dependent? Or what the definition of a Dependent is....
