come on the gov can't get the money from them, if the gov cant who in their right mind would buy the debt then, obviously they think they can

the CSA could take money straight from the employer, why cant the gov then take it from their benefits if they are not working

as for the £900,000,000 - if you use the high figure of £40,000 thats only 22.500 students , £20k of debt = 45,000 students.


Clugston says a student on a three-year course with tuition fees of £9,000 a year and getting a maintenance loan of £3,575 would leave £43,515 in debt. This is based on a rate of 6.3 per cent (RPI plus three points). After university, they start making repayments once their salary is over £21,000. At present, repayments for someone on £21,000 are £34 a month.

repayments of £34 a month no wonder they never repay, its probably what they spend going out over a weekend, so what if they cant buy a house, pay your debts of first
