Hi,
Currently earn to always get the maximum interest on the loan applied. 
Is it worth paying it off, I am thinking it will save me any deductions from my salary (circa £180 a month) and save me interest too. How can I use my 0% card to do this…Tesco…I will then just forward overpayments to this instead…is there a card I can use as the front face of the Tesco card for student loan repayments….
Thanks,

    People talk about Curve as an ideal fronting card, I don’t know enough about it, so do your research.

    plenty of discussion on repaying student loans on the student board:
