Student Debt 2002-2005, Abroad from 2007- contacting SLC
Hello
Just wondered if anyone could offer advice before I contact the student loans company SLC.
Basically I have a student debt from 2002 and I graduated 2005. I did not earn more than 15k for the 2 years after graduating. In 2007 I went to Australia where I now live and recently I am employed in a permanent job which earns more than the threshold so I know I need to start paying money back.
I have read Martin Lewis's posts on student debt which are very good but just wanted to know how to approach SLC in explaining my situation so that they don't slug me huge back payments.
Thanks
