It’s a graduate tax. It would nice for the loan to get lower over time, instead of adding to it every year

I didn't expect to have to pay £150 a month in pure interest, and have my debt still grow

I pay £475 a month. I graduated 11 years ago with £38k and in 11 years my balance is now £35k. That money could be going towards a house deposit

The issue is the interest rate! If you put up the repayment threshold it’s good in the short term but your interest compounding is crazy

Student loan should be interest free. The economy, Govt & society benefits via the tax collected when graduates work! Period!

Interest is the issue, however reducing it now doesn’t solve the high interest already added to balances.

I was told I’d never notice it. I was also never told that if I earned over a certain amount they’d add extra interest on

Education should open doors, not leave graduates feeling misled or trapped by debt. Transparency and honesty matter from the very beginning.

I pay nearly as much on student loan a month as my mortgage, it’s WILD and it wasn’t explained at all when I signed up at the age of 18
