Is it realistic to think that having a funding campaign to save my sister?
-
Hi all!
I live in Turkey. My sister got accepted by the government to send for doctorate education to United Kingdom. However they denied her at the third year (they could've done that at the first year and the damage wouldn't be this big but here we are). Anyway, since it didn't end successfully, now the government wants back the school tuition and housing fee they paid for my sister.
We definitely don't have that kind of money and government will go to collect the fee through enforcement way. Even thinking about this is horrifying.
I don't know any other idea other than this but I have never done this before so I have no idea if it's a good one or not.
Do you think it's viable to think having a funding campaign would help? What would you do? Should I do this? I don't even know where to start honestly.

I'm not a lawyer but you appear to be describing something that requires one.
I also don't understand "they denied her at the third year", who denied what?
Does the University have any student support services that can assist your sister?

Thank you for your reply!
Sorry for lack of my English, but it went like this: At the third year, the professor that supervise my sister decided that she is not suitable for the doctorate. And apparently they made my sister to fill a form about them that make things legally clear for them. She noticed this after returning and cut ties with the university.

Legal recourse seems like the way forward. Though if that doesn't work and she really just got told to leave and repay everything out of nowhere I think it would be doable to start a funding campaign. That sounds pretty egregious. Emotional enough to gain a bit of traction.
You could also look into bankruptcy. I only know how that works in the US, but that may be a way out.

Not exactly like that but what happened is close to that. Yeah, it's quite stressful.
I think bankruptcy wouldn't work because the government wants two other guarantor beforehand for this in case of repay. So technically there are two families at stake in this situation.
