I got a letter from a DCA demanding college fees from 2010. I was forced to leave after1 term as the college wouldn't give me the next terms Timetable in time to arrange any childcare. Timetables were circulated the day before term started. They are now looking for almost £3000 from me. The total years fees were £5800

 

On a point of principle and the fact I have no income as a disabled person, I don't want to pay them. How can I stop these people (prelegal dept) taking further action or Money?

 

Really panicking.

As a starting point, I suggest that you contact the Student Loans Company to apply for deferment. Tell them about the DCA and ask if they can stop them chasing you as you're on benefits and don't have the income to pay them as you're on benefits. http://www.studentloanrepayment.co.uk/portal/page?_pageid=93,3867045&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL

Having problems replying to Caro.

 

It's not the SLC chasing me, it's a DCA working on behalf of the college.

 

The college failed me on so many different issues that I. Was forced to leave before the end of term 1.

In that case I agree with johnvernon. Try and sort it with the college as original creditor. They'll have more discretion to reach a settlement.

Good News! Just wanted to let you know that I did write to the college and they agreed to waive the debt in its entirety as they admitted they were at fault while I did attend.

 

Sadly the DCA, Incasso didn't respond to any letters I sent them (all special or recorded delivery) and even after getting written confirmation from the college waiving the debt, the DCA continued to chase the debt including a threat not to approach the original creditor under any circumstances about this matter. As they did this they continued to increase the amount of the debt without explanation or a breakdown. I haven't heard from them in a month now. I am considering making a formal complaint to the ombudsman about their behaviour. Don't expect it to make any difference.

So glad you got this sorted. :-)

 

I suggest that you complain to the Office of Fair Trading about Incasso.
