How can I reduce high social fund repayments?

You need to ask for your loan/s to be rescheduled. This involves you either ringing the social fund enquiry line and requesting to speak to someone in the correct department or filling in a rescheduling request form and sending this in.
The rescheduling team will then look at the information you have provided and determine if they can lower your repayments. This may take a few weeks and in the mean time your deductions will continue at their current rate.
The reason your repayments have gone up is that when you first accepted the terms of the loan it had a higher repayment rate attached to it than the previous loan.
Hope that helps
