PUBLIC DEBATE: STUDENT FINANCE CANNOT OPERATE SO RESTRICTIVELY

February 4, 2010 2:40 PM

money"Mr Harvey, In early December we met regarding a problem I was having with Student Finance, in getting the amount of funds from them that I was entitled to, and was in need to of to continue with my course.

"I am pleased to say that after the persuasive letter, or other communication you had with them, I was contacted by a number of Student Finance executives and assessors who had very much changed their tune, and were able to offer me the full amount of grant that I knew I was entitled to.

"I am also pleased to say that this was done just in time for me to still qualify for back-payment of University bursaries, which is an added bonus.

I am incredibly grateful for your assistance in these matters, as it would seem that without your help I would not have stood a chance.

"I also hope that in some way it has shown Student Finance that they cannot continue to operate in the restricted way that they do. If it has then many students in the future will have you (and me I suppose) to thank for highlighting, and taking action against these unfair practices.

"Thank you again

"Sincerely,

"Dylan Williams"

    If you are a resident of the North Devon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
