Student loan money back?

Hi, I had a student loan (Scotland) I think it was the second year that they came out. I never earned enough to need to pay it back but I did. Has anyone who has done this, ever go their money back?
Regards
Chris

    their money

    Apologies for the pedantry, but as it was a loan, it never was their money - it was always the student loan company's, surely?

    Without knowing the year of the scheme it's probably not going to be easy to say. Have you checked the T&Cs of the scheme year that you participated in, to see if there's a term which allows you to re-borrow some of the money you've repaid, if you feel that you have repaid money that you didn't strictly need to?
  • I’d contact the student loans company and ask. As it’s a loan it might be difficult you you to be reimbursed. Check the agreement they sent you.
