Student Loan / DD guarantee terms?

Hello all, I'm not sure whether this should go in the student section or the loans section ... hope this is OK.

I have just received a letter this morning from SLC saying they are going to take repayments starting 10th April, which due to the bank holiday is giving me just 4 working days' notice. :( As I have sent in my deferment forms but something has clearly gone awry, this is an unexpected payment that I haven't budgeted for and don't have the money for!

However I have (stupidly) thrown out the small slip of paper with the SLC's direct debit terms on it as until looking into it all today I thought the DD guarantee was generic across all organisations.

I have tried to call them as the call centre would usually be open on a Saturday but 'due to the bank holiday weekend' they have decided not to open today so I can't speak to anyone until Tuesday! :mad:

Does anyone know what the SLC's DD guarantee says regarding how much notice they have to give to amend (or start taking) payments?

Many thanks,
Sophie
