Hello! I'm just on here having a butchers.. I've ended up in a "situation" with student loans.. I took out my first loan in 1993, defered until 2002, when deferment letters did not arrive.. Forgot all about it.. and.. last month a get a letter from a debt colletion agency.. I phoned them, they advised I call SLC, spoke to a chap who said my deferment period had expired??? and I agreed with him to pay £25 per month direct debit.... Last week letter arrives from debt collection agency who are going to start court proceedings on 9/9/8.. I phoned SLC and eventually got passed around to the chap I agreed the repayment plan with and he said.."oh but its gone to an agency, not much I can do".. I argued how could he set up a repayment plan when it was already with the debt agency. I asked him for a copy of the original agreement.. he said he'd have to check if they still had it and that it would cost me?? Needless to say the debt agency were horrid, asked for money each month.. I just wonder if anyone can help me?? Surely they don't expire?? How can the SLC come to an agreement with me and then go back on it?? All help/advise would be greatly appreciated!!...... Oh my first post on this forum!!
