Hello, I am new and need advice.
I studied at Uni and thought I had paid all my fees in advance (mature student). On xmas eve I received a letter from STA saying I owed £700+. I did not reply as I wanted to speak to my uni when they reopened after xmas on 4th Jan this year. Uni had never contacted me in anyway to chase any outstanding date and this was a bolf out of the blue.
I have read online that its best to ignore them, but I have received three letters now and the odd phone call and becoming worried. I left uni and suffer a mental illness, that means I tend to worry and stress.
My friends and family support me and tell me to ignore them too, but I feel maybe I should just try to get the money together to get them off my back.
Today I received a letter from STA's solicitors stating that 'court proceedings will be issued in the appropriate jurisidiction without further notice' (I Live in England) and I am panicking.
Other threads online tell them to ignore everything, but the original people who post about being in my same position, never come back online and say how it all turned out.
All advice welcome.
