Student Loan Settlement Offer. Seems too good to be true!

None of the guides or threads seem to cover what they are offering. I currently owe them £2,134 and have been deferring since I graduated. My loan is due to be…

Is there an invisible mode?
Other sites I go to with similar software to MSE forum have the option for an "invisible mode" where your activity is not reported to the general userbase, just mods/admins. I like my privacy and always enable it. I can't find the option here but maybe I'm just missing something, is there such a function here?

I don't know if other FORUM members have the same problem as I do but i find it a problem starting a new threat. I search for my topic and then see now way of starting a new thread.

Now LC&F have folded, could MSE please share details of the communications they've had with LC&F's…
