Actually it's not my fault at all.

I started at my place of work in June when payments were due to come out at the end of that month. I informed my boss of this and asked him repeatedly to ensure they were beign deducted from my wage and he assured me that they would come out- he would sort it. I have just found out today that he didn't sort it out- hence why I am trying to sort it out.

Whilst the employer will make deductions at source, it's still your obligation to make sure they do this.

You will need to keep hassling the boss to ensure he makes this deduction.

Keep hassling the boss to sort out these deductions. SLC couldn't help me at all when I called them after my LA messed up my pay and subsequently my SL repayments. The company you work for can actually get fined if they do not sort out the payments.

I was fortunate in that they did not request back payments (quite a relief when I had missed 10 months at £180 but had never noticed due to the tax office overcharging me by £181 each month!)
