Hi, yes I am uneployed and recievig job seekers benefit, and actively seeking employment, and taking courses on Learn Direct etc. I'm currently on a budget, so I can't pay that much at the moment, but I reackon that I'll get a good job. At least if I get the files sent from your Student Records, that I called yesterday. I think they must have my files from Norway, wich NITH don't want to send me. And HiO don't want to send me my 2 year degree, it seems, even if I was accepted for the third year of a British Bachelor Computing-degree, when I studied in Sunderland. I think it would also help my chances of getting employment, if I could get the file from the Language Center at University of Sunderland, to do with my language-test, where I got the best score in English, so that I didn't have to take language-courses in English, when I was studying in Sunderland. If I can't find employment then I've planned to start studying again, in the automn. We'll see. So I don't know if you want me to update you again later, in a months time or so, when I know if I'm going to be studying or working? Thanks again for the answer, and sorry about all the problems with the tution-fees etc! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog 2009/2/10 Credit Control <creditcontrol@sunderland.ac.uk> Dear Mr Ribsskog Thank you for your email, the contents of which have been noted and recorded on your account. You mention that you are currently unemployed, are you actively seeking a job? If so, how are you progressing and have you received any offers of employment yet? How are you able to support yourself, are you receiving any income? Apologies for the delay in responding, look forward to hearing from you shortly. Yours sincerely Julie Clapham University Credit Control Erik Ribsskog wrote: Hi, thank you very much for your e-mail. I'll send the form as soon as possible. I'm unemployed at the moment, should I wait with sending the form then, untill I find a job, or should I send the form right away? (It might seem silly that I call about the repayment-plan when I'm unemployed, but I thought I'd try get this up to date, since I haven't time to do this before unfortunatly). Thanks again for the e-mail! Yours sincerely, Erik Ribsskog 2009/2/5 Credit Control <creditcontrol@sunderland.ac.uk> Dear Mr Ribsskog Further to our telephone conversation and your subsequent email regarding 2004/5 Tuition Fees. As we do not appear to have received your original proposal of repayment and in view of the fact it was a few years ago and your financial status will have changed, would you please be kind enough to complete the attached Debt Panel Application Form. Please return is to us with copies of the last three months of your bank statements (the most recent balance being within 5 days of the date of submission of your form) and any other relevant documentation. This will enable us to reach a mutually agreeable repayment plan. We look forward to hearing from you shortly. Yours sincerely Julie Clapham University Credit Control Erik Ribsskog wrote: Hi, I spoked with Julie Clapham at Credit Control, today, on the phone. My student-number is: 049039692. After this communication, on e-mail, that I'm forwarding to you now, I was sent a payment-plan form, that was supposed to be dealt with in a 'payment-plan meeting', at the University. But I didn't hear anything, after this. But I was busy in a new job at the time, and with a court-case, so I have had a lot of other things on my mind. And last year, like I told on the phone, I tried to call the University, but then my name couldn't be found, on your computer-system. So I went to the University, two weeks ago, on the train, and then I was given my student-number, in the Gateway-reception. And then I called Joy Taylor, about the problems with the payment plan etc., last week, and was told to call Janet at Credit Control. So I'm sorry that this has taken a lot of time! I think something must have happened with the payment-plan form, that I sent you, in 2006, I think it must have been. (I probably have a copy of the payment-plan form here somewhere, but I have a lot of files here, since I've also been working on a court-case etc., so I have three boxes with files here, so then I would need some time, if I have to find any files, regarding that, but I think I should have some files also regarding this somewhere). Sorry again about the delay!
