Hello, I appreciate people are trying to establish an information thread but I am literally climbing the walls now and need some advice if any is available. I started a course way back in 1996 and received a loan, shortly after I became disabled. I received another loan in 1997 and another in 1998. My condition deteriorated and by 1999 I was classified as being sverely disabled and chucked on the scrap heap. I was told not to worry about the loans as they would be written off. Today the Student Loans Comapny are still harassing and threatening me. Only one loan was written off and that took a hospital Consultant, my G.P and two seperate teams of C.A.B writing and making phone calls. The one loan was written off as SLC stated they were satisfied that I wouldn't be able to work again and satisfied the criteria for writing the loan off. This was verbally given to the CAB the SLC wouldn't put it in writing and they refuse to write the other two off stating that the process would have to be repeated for each seperate loan but they have already had the letters from all these people and they refuse to write again because as they rightfully say it's unnecessary. The Financial Ombudsman won't get involved, AdviceUK just say pay up, National Debtline just want to discuss a repayment scheme and the CAB and the MP are just bouncing it back and forth between themselves. I'd take legal action but I've been told I can't get legal aid for a 'debt problem'. Tried a few other 'advice organisations' that say in not so many words that as the SLC is run by the Government that nobody will go up against them. I'm so sick of this harassment and having xmas ruined every year for the last 12 years with their nasty letters. I'm supposed to avoid stress, I've developed a heart condition now. Surely they can't get away with this forever and someone somewhere must be able to stop them!
