  1. Hi, A year ago I left a college, I was on course (ESOL), but before second semester I quit. I payed only a half for course. When I was leaving couple I couple time asked my teacher Will I have any problems with not pay fees. He assured me that if I inform college everything should be alright. I call to college and informed them that I'm leaving and won't pay the rest of the money. They said that ok, don't worry and something more. I left a country. Came back a couple weeks ago. A week ago someone called me, I thought that is some recruitment company and I gave them my new address. They start to talking about the college fees. I totally forgot about this. I called to college and in their record, I didn't pay for second semester, but I FINISH COURSE. And now they sent some Debt Collectors to collect money for the course, which I quit and did not pay. I got a letter that I have 7 days to pay £238.50. I write letter to school that this is some mistake. Should I call to TNC and discuss with them this? What can TNC collectors do? What will happend if I don't pay? Regards, Lucas R.
  2. Hi all, I am a 25 year old single male receiving Income Support and the low-rate DLA component ("for help with getting around"). I have an anxiety condition which causes me difficulty with travelling and being comfortable in public. It is a disability that can only really be overcome by learning to cope with that which causes the fear, and to this end I am continuing to make gradual progress. I am now at the point that attending a course at my nearby college, with a bit of extra support from staff, is seeming a difficult-but-doable possiblity. Part of me is desperate to take the plunge and chance the path to a normal life, but I am worried how this would effect my benefits. (I know the obvious option is to contact the DWP/JC, but I'm worried they will incorrectly take it that I am fit for work and review my benefits entitlement). The course I am looking at is meant for mature students returning to education and is averagely around 12 hours per week, but states 'maximum of 16 hours' and is classed by the college as full-time. Would this exclude me from receiving IS? I am worried that my benefits would be revoked as in this case I would have zero income, and with my condition there is no way I could manage college plus a job - I'm not certain I could cope even with college, but I need to try.
