Student Loan repayment

violetgirl12

HI I know there is a table for this but still need to ask as I am still not sure.
I am in Northern Ireland, I got student loan for academic years 1997-98 and then 98 to 99 (I was then aged 28)
I have deferred apart from a few payments since then (I'm an artist ).
My query is, I will be 50 in July, am I reading the table right, does my loan get written off? If so is it an automatic thing or do I contact someone?
My next deferment period is the week before my 50th birthday. So there is about 9 days between last deferment date and my 50th. Should I be contacting anyone, or deferring as normal? thank you in advance

Hi there,


As the law can vary in Northern Ireland, you should try and contact a local organisation for clarification on this. You could try: -


Citizens Advice Northern Ireland http://www.citizensadvice.co.uk/
AdviceNI http://www.adviceni.net/
or
StepChange NI https://www.stepchange.org/Debtadviceinnorthernireland.aspx


Best of luck,

JUST AN UPDATE,
Two days after my 50th I got a letter from Student loan company wiping out my loan.
lovely birthday present!
