Hello. Sorry if this is in the wrong place but I am new.
During the years 2010-2012 i attend university. I received loans and grants for this period.
During 2011 ( the final year) me and my partner separated and obviously this affected the household income meaning I reapplied to student finance. They requested evidence which I supplied.
They continued to request evidence over months, actually years after I had left uni. I supplied all the evidence I could and they then started to request evidence of my exs earnings during the time we were together and proof of when we split (God knows how you prove you no longer live with somebody? I sent the lease but they didn't accept) anyway. Eventually I gave them my exs new details and sent everything he had given me. They continued to request more P60s or wage slips (through me) and my ex understandably had had enough of this year's after we split. They never contacted him directly. So last month my mum received a letter from them asking if I live there ( I haven't for 8 years) and I told her to give them my address....as I assumed it was just student finance about my loans etc. Now Advantis are contacting me requesting £6000 for all grants received as I didn't provide evidence that I was entitled to them ( which I 100% was, I never lied and provided everything I was able to). I emailed student finance asking them to clarify this debt as I wasn't comfortable contacting a third party when I hadn't heard from them in over 4 years. No reply. I don't really know what to do, the best is 4 years old so I can't remember any amounts. They could ask for any amount from me and I would know no different.
My question is, should I contact advantis as they've requested?
Thank you in advance.
