Student Loans and Inheritance

Hello all!

Does anyone know whether I would be obliged to repay my Student Loan (taken out 1998) if I was to inherit money?

Is it only repayable via my earnings?

Many thanks!

    Try checking out their website - I'm no expert but i think you can make lump payments if , and I think it's Inland Revenue related (so will go on your taxable income).

    Hi,

    Not obliged to but you can make lump sum payments if you wish. Just send everything recorded delivery....

    Good luck
