CDL's should be as they are with high street banks and since his debt is £30k £8k of which is a CDL it might make a difference0 -
Considering the economic situation, they should have devoted more time to that.
They just didn't have the time or the guests to get a representative picture across.

They still should have said something along the lines of 'In the case of CDL it would be included, but ordinary student loans aren't.'
If i'd have been a student listening I would have found that misleading and would have assumed that all student borrowing could, if necessary, be included in BR, especially when the scottish bint started going on about students.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0 -
Imissed it. Talking about student loans, my daughters mates (quite a few of them) after they finished their degrees went BR this was 5 years ago. They didn't bat an eyelid. One of them maxed out 5 cc's in the bargain and spent loads of money on clothes and coke and living like a popstar. Funny she did a pharmacology degree. She has now gone to OZ and has been granted a visa to work there.
It was quite amazing how many of them went BR, it seemed almost every uni student was doing itBetter to be poor than a slave to wealth
