If I’ve paid some of my student loan off when I didn’t need to - can i claim those payments back?

    AFAIK, only if you've paid in error because your employer got your plan wrong.

    If you've made a voluntary overpayment then you can't get it back.

    It depends.
    What type of student loan is it and why do you think you didn't need to pay?

    Also maybe repost on the students board for more tailored responses.
