re-paying student loans

I am a former student who took out student loans in the year 2007/08 and 2008/09. When the new interest rate becomes effective in September 2010 of 4.4% I am wondering if this will apply to me when I pay back the loan or as I took out the loan before this date will the present rate be applied. Does anyone know how repayment of past borrowing will work?

    Your loan rate isn't fixed from when you took it out. It varies from year to year.

    The rate might not be 4.4% either.
