I’m Free! Free I tell you!
I have now paid off the last of my Student Loan. I stopped payments back in April having realised that I was actually within sight of the end and have been luxuriating in the additional cash this has freed up ever since.
But yesterday I got home to find a letter saying that there was ?Ǭ£84.10 outstanding and so I ran them to pay it off by card.
Interestingly, though, it appears their computer system couldn’t actually tell them how much I owed. I had various figures suggested ranging from ?Ǭ£120, ?Ǭ£85.16 and ?Ǭ£84.16, but I stuck to my guns and pointed out that the letter said ?Ǭ£84.10 was valid until 10th September and that’s what they could have.
So it’s done. I’m all paid up and officially my student days are behind me (as indeed is a sizeable bottom) I’m now officially free!
Or at least moderately priced.

Somewhat annoyingly the payment didn’t go through so I’ve had to do it again.
Damn them.

Got something to say?
Student loans are lovely things aren’t they….having just finished my degree I paid off my ?Ǭ£15,000 in full shortly after moving out of my digs….did i win the lotto you ask….no….i had cunningly invested the money into ’special’ account instead of spending the lot on booze…..kind of wish i had spent the lot upon finishing uni now however
