I've treated it as a tax on my wages for the past 10 years and finally it is coming to an end! Having studied 2 full degrees, I had a large debt but now that the payments are ending, I suddenly feel like I have a pay rise . In many ways it is a tax on your wages, and if it had been structured as a graduate tax from the beginning, rather than as a loan/debt, then it would have been a much better policy. /boringpolicyposting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut down over lockdown, but I'm ready to rock again. First proper opportunity for a few scoops since restrictions got lifted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid mine off last year, or maybe the year before can’t remember now as the last 12 months have been a repetitive blur. Quite a liberating feeling when you see your first pay slip without the deductions, I remember at one point thinking I’d never pay it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
