Hi

I have 3 student loans from my university course. 
Taken out 1997, 1998 and then 2000
(I didn't get one for my 3rd year)

I think they must be soon coming up to  the point when the get cancelled.  
I'm a part time nurse so never been paid enough to have made any payments on them at all. 
 My boss has recently offered me some extra shifts but this will take me over the defering threshold. 

I don't mind paying the monthly payments but if i start to pay then do i have to pay off the whole loan even if i get to the cancellation date. 

Basically if i start to pay, does that mean i have to pay off the whole thing?
Or will the loan still get canceled when i get to the date. 

I think they cancel them after 25 years?
Is that right? Has anyone done this?

The loan is now the the erudite company.  Tried to call them but  can't find a number
