I have received a default notice from Westcot who have taken over i off my Student loans. I have now written to them using Alanfromderby's excellent CCA letter template and they are now both in default and have commited an offence under the CCA regs by not providing the info within 1 month. They have written saying they have suspended payments while they investigate. I will just sit on my hands with this one.

 

I have a number of other loans with SLC which have never been chased by them but low and behold now i am in communication with Westcot i have a letter from SLC saying i now owe them money. The most recent loan was taken in 1998, 8 years ago, and SLC have never approached me for repayment until July this year when Westcot got involved.

 

Can anyone offer any advice on statute of limitations with these loans.

 

Cheers

I am in a somewhat similar situation to yourself.

From what I can gather, If you took out your loans before 1998 then they are regulated under the CCA.

Although I can not find any hard evidence of this....yet!.

 

Did you defer payment?

 

I dont think there is a limitation on student loans.

 

I was chased by Smith and Lawson DCA (part of the SLC), and then, Legal and Trade after the SLC "claimed" to have not received my deferment forms despite having sent them three applications all on different occasions.

 

It is my belief, in my case, that this is some kind of "method" thay are employing to enable them to default, and attempt collection of the outstanding loans.

Hello mrpennyless!

 

Yes, jut follow the standard proceedure and you will be fine.

 

When you get your charges, set the info out in the form of a table:

 

Date of charge-Reason for charge-Amount-Interest @8% compounded

 

Use this to work out the compounded interest-

 

 

Add the charges+interest together and this figure will be the amount of your tell them you want back.

 

When they've told you to naff off, dont bother arguing, just start your Small Claim.

 

At this stage calculate a further 8% on each claim from the date it was debited, add all these figures up and claim this as your County Court interest, along with your court fee.

 

PM me if you me any help. Good idea to start your own thread so advice doesnt become confused.

 

Ignore mpul's "advice"- its probably a SLC troll.
