I spent one semester at university from (17-SEP-2012). The university in question did not unenroll me until year two, semester one (13-OCT-2013). I assume that my no-show started this process but leaves me wondering why my no-show for semester 2 wasn't enough to unenroll me the year prior.
Student finance is billing me for one full year of tuition.
I struggled in primary and high school; A level dropout, but I managed to pull together a BTEC. University was too much of a challenge for me.
I did not formally leave like a rational person would, I was ashamed and essentially disappeared from them.
11 years have passed since leaving university.
I am now successful in my field so earnings are starting to rise. This means repayments are due.
This year I was diagnosed as Dyslexic by an accredited assessor, paid for by myself at great cost.
This is where I start to feel miss-sold. Without the extra help and understanding, I don't believe I would have ever completed a degree. It's hard to explain, even prove just what a challenge it was for me at that time. I was never tested at any point in my life, nor were questions ever raised or recorded.
I fear the university will not willingly accept my explanation nor do I have proof to show when I left, other than a complete lack of attendance, exams and work submitted from the beginning of semester two, year one. Regardless of the leaning disability, I don't feel comfortable paying for tuition I never received. I accept I handled this whole situation poorly.
I was in receipt of some grant money and a student loan also.
Any advice will be greatly welcome, I face a positive future but with interest, my student debt is already cripplingly high.
If I can seek to reduce this figure, down to one semester's fees only, then I am hopeful to pay it off to avoid any future interest.
sincerely.
