I think I've fucked up my finances/tuition fees. I've not filled out some forms at the right time, and I've got a whole bunch of papers I cant make head nor tail of but seem to be demanding me money. I doubt anyone here is an expert on this kind of thing so I just have a couple questions for any 2nd 3rd year guys here.
1. We pay the old 2005 system fees right? Around £1200 each year?
2. Does my LEA come into this in any way? Did your uni just say "cool, you're a 2nd year student, you pay £1200. In you go"...or was there something to do with LEA support as well?

1. Yes, we do.
2. To my knowledge, although it's somewhat limited, I'm pretty sure your LEA doesn't come into it, apart from when you applied for your first year after college. I could be wrong though.
I didn't fill out my student finance info when I got it in the post. Stupidly. I thought it was only for loans and grants, and as I didn't need a loan and am not eligable for a grant I didnt touch it the papers.
My college seems to be hitting me up for £3000. Checking the fees leaflet I see this passage.
"RETURNING STUDENTS RECEIVING SUPPORT FROM THEIR LEAS
blah blah, pay a max of £1259
RETURNING INDEPENDANT STUDENTS
who do not recieve LEA fee support pay the full £3000
I'm like, wtf. I thought I just paid the £1200, no one said anything about LEA support.
And looking through the forms I left untouched all thouse months ago, nothing back then seemed to say anything about LEA support either. The closest I can find is "higher education grant, up to £1000" (which I applied for last year and got denied I recall) Nowhere does it say. "Oh by the way 2nd years, you need LEA support or else your college will hit you up for the full £3000"
