have one loan (1998) that was flogged off last year, the others having been flogged off to Thesis long ago. Didn't have to go through the horror of getting it deferred by Rodeo last year as it had already been deferred by SLC (lucky me from my reading here). Had ths usual barrage of phone calls from them throughout last summer which after answering one (at work, told them to bugger off) I ignored the rest and did some searching which brought me here. As you can imagine I wasn't looking forward to going through the deferrment battle with them this year. I was also starting to get a bit concerned as my repayments would be scheduled to start next month and I had had nothing from them other than a letter telling me I am in breach of my agreement for not having a direct debit in place (like I'd leave an open DD for them to access as and when they please) and deferrment forms would be sent out shortly. Still no deferrment forms but I have had them through from SLC so the plan was to send a copy of these with the 88 loan reference number on and a covering letter. Imaging my surprise then when yesterday I received a letter from SLC giving the reference of my 88 loan and telling me that my Erudio loan is now deferred until April 2016. Looks to me like Rodeo have tranferred the management of deferrment back to SLC, if so this is a tribute to the hard work and fight that many on here have put in, along with hte excellent advice from others (dx especially) that I was "looking forward" to having to follow myself over the coming weeks. So no real question in this thread but I wanted to post it up in case it is of use / interest to anyone else and also as a thankyou from this lurker who has found the info on here very useful and informative over the last few months
