Employer won't make deduction

Hello.

I started a new job,  and I told my employer that I have a plan 1 student loan, they said they need SLC to instruct them.

On my online account I found a letter that said roughly....I am now due to make repayments for Plan 1 student loan please pass this onto my employer. They still refused this and said it needs to come direct from SLC.


On my online account it says HMRC will collect and pass it on.

SLC  said HMRC will instruct employer.

What should I do?

It's now coming up to my 4th payslip.

    Worst case is you make a payment after the end of the financial year through your tax return.
