Money management problems/debt

NAS72024
over 3 years ago

It took my son many years to get to university but with the right support he got there. 

He has spent all of his student loan and now can't pay his rent, and his housemates are annoyed with him. His dad is in hospital and he's really struggling, he also has other health problems

We applied for a Hardship fund with the university but they rejected it because he had enough money from his student loan, but that is gone now. He also has loan sharks which is scary and making the problem worse.  I don't think they've taken into consideration his needs and what that means for money management.

We are appealing it. I was wondering if there's any information we could put on the application to help win an appeal.

Thanks,

Michelle

    "Step change" are a good organisation to help with managing debt. They will draft letters etc to the debt companies on his behalf. They will ask for details of all income and all expendature. One bit of advice i would give if he contacts them, be completly honest about all debts. Worth a try x
