Money management problems/debt

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

  • Financial life is like a game of monopoly, but when you lose that way, you lose years of your life trying to get back on top. 

    It's a hard lesson.

    NEVER borrow money to "get by" and that includes using credit card or an overdraft to "tide you over".

    Find another way that doesn't involve you in paying strangers (who wouldn't wee on you if you were on fire) "interest" payments.  

  • Sound advice sir.

    Slightly "bot"esque timeline?

    What prompted you?
