US Diploma to UK BSc....any problems?

I've lived in the UK for 9 years now and have always worked as a RN here. I want to finish my BS degree and have applied to Univ Of Nottingham having already undertaken 2 modules there at 'degree level'. Now they are telling me that I need to top up with Level 2 credits (Diploma level) before even registering for the degree.
This makes no sense. I am going to challenge them as my 3 year full-time Diploma in the US is the same as a 3 year full-time Diploma here. I had no problems entering on to the NMC register back in 2001. The NMC have told me that Universities here can do what they like but that in the NMC 's opinion a US Diploma is the same as a UK one. Hence they wouldn't have let me become a RN here if it wasn't.
Just wondering if anyone else has successfully undertaken the BS here with a Diploma?
Thanks ;)
