Hi,

Just looking to ask a quick question I am recently back from work placement. I was in western Europe doing a erasmus/work placement. I was informed I would be back in Febuary (which turned out to be wrong) so the college gave me a grant of 1700 but only paid 1200 - 3 weeks into my placement they said they had made a mistake and i was only owed 950 so they want 250 back, well they are demanding it back.

I only make 336 quid a month from a grant and I am in my final year trying to get qualified has this happened to anyone before? I just really can't afford to shell out 250 quid as a student.

Thanks.
