Okay, first a little bit of a back story.
I left my university course in April this year due to stress and illness, and I was told that because my last recorded attendance was in March, I wouldn't incur any overpayments, and I would just have to pay my loans back when I'm in a full time job earning over 15k per year.
...What they did not tell me, however, was that it wasn't applicable to grants. And now they want me to stump up £1267 by the end of August. If not, they will either take me to court, or pass my debt on to a loan shark. Either one bringing extra fees and a black mark against my name. I sought legal advice about this and I have discovered they are within their rights to do this, so I am basically ****ed.
I would love to pay it back right away, but as most people know, I just got myself a flat that isn't furnished. I work part time, and all my money goes in on rent and bills. I have literally £10 spare per month.
So my proposal is this:
I'm hoping I can find 120 people to loan me £10 each. Each month, I will pay one person back (this can rise depending on how much extra money I get in, ie. if I manage to find full time work it will be 20 people). Will anybody be willing to help? If it helps, it's roughly about $18 USD. Paypal should do the conversion for you, though.
