I just deferred my loan for another year, and the cut off is about £2000 p/m now, I think.

I worked on the customer facing side of the company for over 2 years and whilst mistakes were made (as they are in any large organisation) a great deal of effort always goes into resolving the issues.
| The 'evidence' was a recording of a phone call - I was told the management would listen to it, but later when I requested a copy under the Data Protection Act I was informed the recording had been destroyed! Imo this was very convenient for the Student Loan Company.

As far as I knew all calls are recorded and saved on computer although I don't know how long they are retained for. I do think it's highly unlikely that someone's gone in and deleted it though (if that's even possible).

superrayunited,
i've been trying to ring SLC for ages over the last week and all I get through to is a machine which is starting to frustrate me because there is no option to speak to an advisor. You got a better more direct telephone number i could use?

loving the people living in la la land here - 4.6% interest so high! £30 a month interest on a £12k loan how dare they! You've gotta laugh.
