Hi All,
Newbie here, my son has received a Claim from the Civil National Business Centre, stating that he owes accommodation costs for his 1st year at Uni during lockdown (2020/21) total amount of £5,032.45 of which £876.83 is interest. My points of question are:
1 - I have asked for more time but have not received any acknowledgement of this - I had to register this with www.moneyclaim.gov.uk - i can see that i have requested it but nothing back to say they agree with it - do i take it that its accepted?
2 - During that awful time - many students were locked into their accommodations, but i pulled my son out of there as soon as i could see a possible lockdown so he spent most of that year at home (taking online lessons that had no help at all but that's for another day). is there anyway i can counter claim this cost as he didnt use the services and when the contract was signed there was no sign of COVID and the lockdown - has anyone else had any experience or success in this area?
3 - we dont have the funds to pay for this and had no idea the cost had been escalating - we have moved house since 2022 (but had mail forwarding with the post office) and this claim came randomly out of the blue - are there ways to pay this off with a minimum amount per month and does this affect my sons credit rating?
thank you for any responses
