I am currently a student training to be a primary school teacher. I live on campus and my rent is due. No one has chased me up yet, but I know this will happen soon.
So I ran up my £1280 student loan (1139 of this is my rent) before proceeding to lose it. I've got 70 left and am currently en route to play a 25 freeze with a 1k guarantee. Guess posting this thread is my coping mechanism combined with a harsh warning to those who belive this type of thing could
Never happen to them.
Will post updates throughout tonight however advice on the inevitable would be great.
Your uni won't kick you out. You'll just have to pay them the arrears next term or at a later date. I graduated £1.7k in debt to my uni accommodation (due to degenerate gambling at uni losing £10k+ each year living like a peasant) and eventually paid them off once they had got lawyers and threat of CCJ summons. But didnt pay them til like 1.5 years after the initial rent was due. Also I refused to pay all their bu****** late fees, lawyer fees, CCJ summons fees so it worked out ok. But you need to temp stop gambling and stop looking for money to gamble.
Relax. Do some exercise or eat some healthy food. Dont log on to 2+2, try not to dwell on your reckless gambling and if you can do some study as you dont want to mess up your grades as that is easy to do when your stressing 24/7 because your networth evaporated in 20mins.
Also get a job is a good idea. I worked at a bookmakers instead of dropping out one year. The irony aside, I did use that money to get through the jan-july of the 2nd year at uni but it didnt resolve my degen gambling and that ultimately screwed me up in my final year when I no longer worked at the bookies but I ran out of money and access to borrowing. Piled on the debt to over £15k and messed my grades up.
I dont play roulette anymore that was my demon, took me 6 years to overcome that addiction, counselling, therapy and just constant rockbottom after rockbottom. Its set me back 3-4 years in my life, but the future looks bright.
Hang in there and good luck dealing with your irresponsible behaviour- find the underlying cause of your actions and address that.
