    Hey,

    I'm in a similar position to you and I can't get a straight answer out of the student loans company...some people there say I need to repay, others say I do not. Currently I'm just sending them letters periodically asking them to conclusively answer my query and keeping proofs to show that I am trying to deal with the issue.

    they should really know that! a stipend is not classed as taxable income so you still have your additional tax free allowance and you will not be made to pay student loan repayments on your stipend.
