Damn. I paid for my 4th year last year and I shouldn't have. That's 1100 pounds down the tubes.

Kæmp for alt hvad du har kært,
Dø om så det gælder.
Da er livet ej så svært,
Døden ikke heller.

I found that sorting it out with the LEA was easy. I just sent them a letter along with the student finance form.
The university have been more troublesome. They have asked for the money several times including one occasion on which I was informed that my fees would be collected by direct debit. I've had to show them the documentation from the LEA (so keep those letters) to persuuade them that I didn't owe anything.

Did all that not get clarified at matriculation? It was assumed by the clerk that my fees, along with virtually everyone else in the queue, were being paid for us and we skipped a huge wait.

Nope.
You still apply for your loan as normal, if you need it, but you don't have to pay tutition fees in most cases - assuming you're from Wales, England or NI and that the same or similar course is offered at another university for three years.
Don't expect the university, the student loan company or anyone to know much about the process though! Everyone in authority I spoke to about it didn't have a clue... but when i got my loan certificate thing through the post in August it said "amount you owe your university or college - £0" so I assume it was sort of automatically calculated that I was a fourth year. Best double check though.

At matriculation I told them my LEA would be paying. I also showed evidence of this. Yet two months later the university were after my money. I did mention when I went into the reception/registry (on north street) the first time that I had done that at the time, but the lady didn't seem to care.

I think it's the Scottish Executive who pay it?? The purpose of the payment is to attract students to Scotland who would otherwise do the same course in NI, Wales or England for three years.
