Student loan repayment
Dizzyd89
Posts: 4 Newbie
I applied for a student loan they said I get 131 for the last tax year, but I think I’m owed more due to my wages changes within the year and how much I paid to my under grad and post grad loan.
But I’m also not sure if I can apply for a repayment for previous years and how to go about this?

This question makes absolutely no sense to me, I think it is how it is worded.
Are you asking about the current balance of your student loan? You can check this online:
https://www.gov.uk/sign-in-to-manage-your-student-loan-balance
Your payslips will show how much you're paying towards your student loan each month (the amount depends on your income and what plan you're on). You also pay interest on your student loan balance (the rate again depends on what plan you're on).
If not, please could you try re-word your question to make it easier to understand? Or it could be me (Mondays and all that) and someone else may come along that understands what you're asking.

@Dizzyd89 I’ll move this to the student board.
if you are talking about getting excess repayments back, you need to calculate what you have been paid on an annual basis and see if it exceeds the threshold as a starting point.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
