I know that another student has had this happen as well. The letter told me that once i return my old result letter they'll send me out a new corrected one. As it is their screw up surely I should keep the Merit? Can they do this?	Jeremy (1197)

Seems very odd that they change their mind after the (I assume official) results are sent out. Heh and making you return the result letter, makes it sound like a cover up. :D	gibler (49)

Not only were they not advised of this half way through the year when it happened but didn't find out untill well after the course finished and none of them recieved any results. They had to hire a lawyer to even find out what happened, no further action was taken due to lack of funds. Which isn't surprising as they had each spent many thousands on course fees.	Metla (12)
