EMA delays: what to do

Ema Scandal

by STEPPEY

This is my second college now after finishing first course and had no promblems with getting EMA while they were in trouble and my second colleges have been telling me for nearly 7 weeks ill get my money next week, then next week and are constantly coming up with forms to sign to get it and its my responsiblity!
No, it's my responsibilty to turn up and do the work not to ask for my forms to get my money that im not even receiving even with 100% attendance and 100% top quality work.
Bloody ridiculious, especially for someone who is independant and has rent to pay!!

I have been patient for this long and just used my wages to pay for college but i'm getting tired and very frustrated now.Something needs to be done!!!

EMA Payments

I have had my EMA back tracked and put into my account, my surname begins with a D so it shouldnt be too long before everyone else gets theirs backtracked.

A vicious circle

by 199nood

the problem with this is that i rely on EMA to actually get to school as i have to either pay for the bus or pay for my petrol. My college keeps going on about how A-levels are the most important time of my life and so tell us to quit our jobs but how can we when we are not getting EMA so we cannot afford to get to school and so we dont get EMA, this is not good enough, if they cannot handle manually inputting the data then employ more people, oro change the system!!! please get it sorted, i have enough stress doing maths, chemistry, biology and french A-levels without having to worry about getting to school and buying revision guides...which i also cant afford at the moment either!
