Hi everyone, I'm in the same boat as most of you an i paid my fees upfront without a loan really regretting doing that now. Anyway the long and short of it is this I have been in touch with MICROSOFT and they are investigating advent, if we get really lucky then microsoft may offer us something to help us carry on with the course. Also I have sent an email to WATCHDOG you know the ones off the bbc. I am hoping that they may be able to do something for us. What I want to ask EVERYONE who is affected by this is can you all send watchdog a email outlining your position the more noise we make with larger numbers the more likely they are to sit up and take notice and may even be able to help us, as, when watchdog is on the case people have a habit of getting their money back Hope this helps i will post any feedback i get as a matter of urgency
