I graduated from a UK university back in 2005. I studied for three years and each year recieved a student loan of £3,000. I am from the UK, but moved to Ireland in 2007 and have lived here, with no intention of returning to England.
My mum has recently recieved a letter from the student loans company in England, after not sending any letter for a number of years, stating that they are now chasing repayments on the student loan, and they are threatening her with baliffs if it is not repaid. I never knew anything about this - granted, I should have contacted them, but didn't - surely if they have not contacted me for a number of years they cannot just threaten this straight away? Can they?
What is the procedure in terms of this student loan? I was trying to look on their website and got confused by how much i would have to pay back, over what period of time etc. It is highly likely given my current situation, in terms of my own income, family situation etc that i will be unable to pay this back.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I am worried and my mum is very worried.
Thanks
Phil
