He would get into uni trust me LOOL. It might not be the best from the Russell Group or redbrick but, he would have availability to the money and resources and qualifications to get him sorted out.
the **** ones like UEL, south bank. Just needs to make sure he picks a course which will lead directly into employment, otherwise he can always become a teacher
He would be classed as mature student, and probably only have to do some sort of verbal,numerical tests to be admitted.

Sucks to be you.
That wasn't actually my point.
My point was that 'getting a bursary and going to Uni' wont be the answer to the problem posed in the OP.

Commit identity fraud, get one of those 40% credit cards available to anyone under a false name/details. Get a tent, go live in a wood, hunt rabbits/deer...
Legitimately, I'd either get a job as a ground worker (labourer), join the forces, binman, cleaning operative, canvasser, run away and join the circus etc etc. As for debts, I'd get a IVA (looks far better than bankruptcy on your record), paying back what I could afford.
Or without any qualifications there's a huge amount of benefit available to put you through education upto A-Level standard for free, alongside cash benefits like the adult learning grant of £30/week.

I would say obviously hypothetical.
Do you think? I thought he might be describing himself and the position he's in. There are options if so. If not, hey ho, I won't bother

To work up £25k of debt over 6 years, you needed to have an income, lenders won't lend to someone without money coming in, and a good credit rating needs this income too. This means a job, despite the lack of qualifications, so in this case, I'd go back to your last employer and get a job doing what you did for 6 years.

And always remember what Carlos Castaneda once said:

Not hard situation to get out of. You will get housing benefit to pay the rent. Coucil tax benefit to pay the council tax. You just pay a tiny amount. You have JSA for living off. And you declare bankruptcy for the debts.
Job done and now you get a job.

You're wrong man. The living expenses part of a bursary is means tested so if he has zero of his own money/income and has no parents to back him up then not only will he get his rent paid for, but also get extra money for the cost of living equating to roughly what jobseekers allowance would be. I know people who went through college under 100% funding. He'll also get travel expenses covered as well as certain other expenses like books ect.
Obviously he's not going to have anything in the way of money left over for anything other than scraping by, but he could absolutely LIVE on it for one year.
That's just how it is in Scotland...perhaps it's different where you're from.

Noose.
Harsh!
Got to admit I thought about posting similar but some people just need a big ass kicking to get into gear.
For others there is no hope I agree and a shotgun to the chin really is the best way forward. I don't think any of us know the full story here.
