Paying back while working and studying

cmbrookes

Hello

I finished my studies in 2019 but I started my paying my student loan back way before I had finished studying. I was studying part time whilst working full time. I am also on plan 2. Is it correct that I started paying my loan back way before I had finished studying and not the April after I finished?

You started paying too soon, presuming that you studies were all on one course.

Part-time students will start repaying their loan either the April after they finish or leave their course, or the April 4 years after they start their course, whichever comes first. But they'll still only repay if their income is over the repayment threshold.

If the repayments were voluntarily made by you there is nothing you can do. If the repayments were taken by your employer in error you should be able to claim them back by contacting the student loan company.
