    OP - I got a loan of £12,000 when I was earning around £16,000 at 24 years old. That was a special deal for people that had graduated within the last 3 years though and I believe they took risk into account far less than they would for a normal person.

    This was back in around 2008.

    Probably just before everyone noticed the banks had been lending money they didn't really have to people who didn't pay it back.

    Things are very different now.
