Santander Student Account
Hi, Just been in to try and open this account but I've been told I need to either be a first year student, or have a student account elsewhere. Is this the case for all student accounts? I left my studies a few years ago (after doing an HND) but will be entering 3rd year in September. I have no student accounts elsewhere.

student loan repayments pro-rata of salary
Hi Just worked out after reading Martin's student loan stuff and reading around that the loan is repayable once the pro-rata salary reaches the threshold not the annual salary. i.e. if for one month you earn a large amount you would repay the loan. This seems unfair! also seems very unfair that Scottish students don't pay…

How do I make sure, as a student, I'm not paying PAYE?
Pretty much what it says in the title. As a uni student who only really works over the summer and holiday periods, I make well under the £10,000 NI lower income threshold per year required to start paying PAYE. But I always seem to still get PAYE taken out of my payslips, which is annoying. They seem to assume that if I…
