Hi apologies if not the right place - please feel free to move if needed.
I am being chased by the student loans company for an overpayment of childcare grant from student finance England.
I have repeatedly told them I dispute the entire amount and have sent them copies of letters I've sent to student finance England. I have provided SFE copies of claim forms invoices and bank statements that prove that I paid out more in each academic year than they gave me but they still maintain they over paid me.
I last wrote to both SFE to again dispute the debt and to ask them to wait so I could get the information together (again) and SLC last week, and I asked SLC that, given I am in dispute with SFE for the entire debt, and that (yet again) I am having to download forms and get nursery to sign them, whether they could hold off trying to get payment on this alleged debt. They've agreed - so long as I ring them and pay £25 towards the debt to put it on hold.
Naturally, I do not want to pay towards a disputed debt to have that debt put on hold from collection!
I have never come across this before and would be grateful for any advice. Their previous correspondence to me (before I wrote to them again last week) said that if I didn't pay, they would take further action with no further reference to me.
Is there anything else I can do or is it a case of still continue to write and send evidence as I have done previously.
Many thanks
