Sounds about right. It's a bit blurry to be honest though. 

Haven't managed to access the website as I need to now phone them to register/access. Will try phoning them in the daytime tomorrow. 

I'm 43. 

Thanks for your help DX (radio amateur?)

Honours Student Loans is one of three companies which purchased mortgage-style or fixed term student loans from the Student Loans Company in 2014. It is a trading name of Link Financial Outsourcing Ltd. In this case they are not acting as debt collectors, they own the debt.

 

"Thought i didn't Have to repay till aged 55"

 

I think you are confusing the terms of the loan agreement where there is a possibility of the loan being written off when you reach the age of 50. Where you are behind with any payments, ie you did not defer properly and there is an outstanding amount owed, it won't be written off:

 

"12.  The lender will cancel the borrower’s liability to repay the loan if the borrower—

(a)dies,

(b)is not behind on any repayments under any agreement for a student loan and—

(i)was under the age of 40 when his last agreement for a student loan was made and he reaches the age of 50 or when the last agreement for a student loan has been outstanding for not less than 25 years, whichever is the sooner, or

(ii)was aged 40 or older when his last agreement for a student loan was made and he reaches the age of 60, or

(c)if the borrower can show the lender that he gets a disability related benefit and because of his disability is permanently unfit for work."

ofcourse they are acting as debt collectors...!!

 

SLC debts are no different to any other debt Link or any other Debt Buyer Own which are covered by the same Consumer credit act.

 

they are not the creditor, they are a debt buyer and cannot change or dictate anything regarding payments or the T&C's of the agreements - which is why the SLC still manage these and erudio debts on the buyers behalf.

The debts were all sold off by 2014, the SLC no longer manage them at all. There would have been no point in selling them if they had to still manage them after the date of the sale. The purchaser can enforce the original T&Cs as they now own the debt. What makes you think that SLC still manages loans which were sold off years ago?

It is a bit confusing though.  SLC still administer the running of the loans applying the terms/conditions, with honour/link holding the financial interest as debt buyer.

 

I suspect that in the agreement to sell the batch of loans, part of the deal was a service contract for SLC to service the loans for x amount of time. 

We could do with some help from you.

Link were sold the debts in 2 batches in1998 , not 2014 ....and under a totally sep and differing deal to that made with Arrows in 2014.

both created hidden dodgy shill companies to finance the purchase.

 

Immediately Link (hiding behind what the gov't though were 2 sep companies)Thesis and HSL) got them, they changed the T&C's and made everyone they could get a hold of sign new agreements, issuing defaults and getting 1000's of backdoor CCJ's,

 

eventually the Gov't/FOS caught wind of it all after 10'000 of complaints and a few years and told Mr paul burdell (who reputedly made £10m's out of it all) to cease and desist and undid the changes, placing SLC back in control of the overarching administration of the deferment process. which is why we always recommend to use the SLC deferment form not ones provided by the sharks.

 

they stupidly allowed the same thing to happen again some 5yrs later with arrows and erudio when they sold the remaining old style loans off. 

 

debtors need to be very very careful of these two sharks. . it's all here to read in many many past threads.

SLC has always processed deferments for Honours Student Loans and Thesis, it was never placed "back in control" as you claim, that was part of the sales and purchase agreement when the loans were sold.

Why would I make stuff up, or BS as you suggest? It takes a few seconds searching to confirm what I said is true:

 

"When Honours Trustee Limited purchased the loans in 1999 it entered into a contract with the Student Loans Company to continue to manage the loans. This contract terminated in October 2004 and HTL transferred the administration of the loans to a third party administrator who serviced the loans using the trading style of Honours Student Loans (HSL). In January 2016, the administrator was changed by HTL from Capita Customer Management to Link Financial Outsourcing with the Honours Student Loan style remaining in place."

 

https://www.hsloans.co.uk/about/

 

You're trying to tell me things I already know, see post #8 where I state:

 

"Honours Student Loans...is a trading name of Link Financial Outsourcing Ltd."

 

Obviously if a money claim is made, HSL would have to provide evidence that the loan was in arrears if the claim is defended.
