sjc Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I feel for you mate, due to the nature of the company I work for and job I used to do for them, the things you described are all too familiar! It's done now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Top tip: Don't connect a live sewage pipe/tank with a stinking hangover. Remember the rule when on a boat, anything over 500 grams has to be lowered by hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) My mum's just shown me a letter I received from the student loans company. It outlines all the payments I have to one day repay, which is fine. However, it also has 43 monthly interest charges going back to September 2010 when I started 2nd year (how can they charge you interest during three years of university when you haven't even finished receiving payments, never mind paid it back?) and to make it worse the amount of interest rises every month. The last month on it has the interest at over £20, and rising sharply. This was April's one so how much interest they're charging now is anyone's guess. I'm hoping this is a big mistake, because it's absolutely fucking criminal if it isn't. I already owe them over £600 in interest as of April apparently, and if this system is correct and the interest goes up each month it'll ruin me financially. I'll never be able to pay this back Edited August 24, 2014 by Guest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never be able to pay this back They collect the repayments proportionately to your wage. I don't earn alot of money and thus far they have collected a total of £15 from me on about £8000 I believe. This is now my fourth year out of education. Doesn't affect your credit rating whatsoever so don't stress too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) You have to earn over £16910 a year (or make the equivalent monthly wage, e.g. through overtime) for it to be deducted from your wages. The interest is linked to inflation, currently 1.5% (approx). http://www.studentloanrepayment.co.uk/portal/page?_pageid=93,6678642&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL It also gets written off after35 years. This should clear everything up; http://www.saas.gov.uk/my_money/loan_repayments.htm Edited August 24, 2014 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Cheers guys. It must be a mistake as the site says interest is in line with inflation. £20.17 a month and rising = not inflation. Possibly an admin error, and if it's not I'll purposely never earn more than 16k for the rest of my life just to spite them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 A work colleague of mine has just spent a good five minutes explaining how, should we become independant, dvds and the like will have to change their language selection to include 'Scottish' as well as English. Her reasoning being, "I speak Scottish. If I spoke *adopts Cockney accent* 'like this', I would speak English. I don't, I speak Scottish." She's a 32-year-old married mother of two by the way. You should have punched her square in the dish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tremendous, please make sure she is in the audience for the next Leaders debate. It'll put the 'Yes' campaign ahead by miles. Edit to add: and next time, if you can really be arsed arguing with the simpleton, point out that there aren't currently options for Canadian, Australian, New Zealand ,,,, in the language selection!

Well it would rise every month, even with the same interest rate, as it is now being calculated on an higher balance (it will include the previous month's interest!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
