probably the reason why the interest rate has doubled.

| As I said, the interest rate is only affected by the inflation rate of March of every year. This year was a bit of an anomaly.

Ok, checked it out. 25 years :eek: or death.
Apparently you have to tell them if you go overseas, I can't see how that was enforcable, the threatening tone says they may accelerate the interest rate if you have gone abroad without telling them.
Some of the countries I was in do not have any agreement with the UK (eg Belarus) even though I was only there briefly.
I have to admit, I thought it was 8.

Another question I had was that If you declare bankruptcy, you will have to pay off a small % of the loan (a la Leeds United) Are student loans covered in this?
The answer is:
Yes. Since 1 September 2004 all outstanding student loans cannot be claimed in bankruptcy. They remain the responsibility of the (former) student to repay within the terms of the loan arrangement.
If you were made bankrupt before 1 September 2004 you may still have to repay your student loan. Clarification should be requested from the Official Receiver who is dealing with your affairs.
Otherwise you could have cashed your student loan put it in a safety deposit box in Switzerland and claimed it after bankruptcy. Its what I was was thinking of doing.

| Got off quite lightly there. Mine's over £16k now with interest at over £32 a month. On my current salary, I'd expect to finish paying it off in 2039. Pathetic system. </BLOCKQUOTE>
You know you can pay off more a month if you want? </BLOCKQUOTE>
Yeah, I'm aware of that. Still a dreadful system though.
