Amigo Refund
Hi all. So basically, I raised a complaint way back in around 2018/19 with Amigo and they eventually responded saying they felt that all loans were affordable and I wasn't due any redress. I then left it until I saw more frequent posts and articles about amigo, plus I learned more about about whole FOS case handling…

Repaying Student Loans
I work overseas, have a Type 2 loan, from 2009/10 that I am paying off. Currently, I am just paying off the default country rate as it is lower than what I would be required to pay if I submitted my actual details. From my understanding, this is acceptable by the terms of the SLC and my loan will be cleared in 2 years…

What should I do?
I have a loan which I have one payment left until it’s completely paid off. I got an email today which reads: I’m not 100% sure what it means. But should I leave it or ask to receive an interest rebate? This payment of £700 means I would be paying off my loan 3 months early.

SFE student loan declined, now what? Should we use a private SF company?
Our son has been declined his student loan by SFE based on residency as we lived away from the UK for 10 years.

Does anyone know if student loans actually saved tax payers money over the old system?
Giving that the student loans were meant to save tax payers for footing the bill, and that actually only 17.5 % pay off the loan in full - has this system actually saved money? My guess is that it has not. That we may be paying more than before. It seems to me only the Student Loan Company and related organisations make…

Paying back student loan- High earner
I studied veterinary nursing at university, knowing that as a veterinary nurse, I would never earn enough to pay back my student loan.
