Bastard Student Loans have started taking money off me!

And after I sent them a deferment application, too. Bastards. This is their fault for not sending me an application form until April, and then the company secretary's fault for repeatedly forgetting to repring January's payslip.

Grrrrrr.

They just take it off. no money back.

Although, they can't get money off me - I've changed bank account and not told them my new one - so when 'late defferment backdating' comes through, i've not actually had to hand over money.

still fucking hate them tho'.

That is annoying. So when it says "It is important that you take action quickly each year as deferment can only be back-dated for 3 months which could mean that any arrears balance is still due to be repaid" it doesn't mean "We can give you up to 3 months back," it just means "We will stop pestering you for up to three months of repayments if you haven't had the foresight to delete the direct debit".

Bastards.

Yeah, A few years ago i wanted to increase the amount I paid so i could get it over with, and despite loads of promises, phone calls and letters, they are still charging me the £41.05 a month i was paying when i first got a job all those years ago.

On my salary i should be paying quite a lot more than that anyway as i am on roughly double what i was on when that was calculated.

Fortunately i only owe a few hundred quid on it now, and the last payment is due next february by my calculations.
I suspect they dont actually give a toss as I *am* paying it back.

Still annoying though. My parents always taught me to pay off my debts as quickly as possible.
