I,m with Copykat and ellen, who needs Sanctimonious arseholes
sounding off about other peoples posts.
it was a genuine question,
And as far as I can see baliffs are the SCUM of the planet, how anyone could do that job and claim to have morals is a joke.
I loved it when the Baliff got clamped while collecting fines from people with parking ticket offences ROFLMAO, the Baliff said to the clamper taking off the clamp "I suppose you are happy with yourself clamping people are ya" HAHAHAHA,

The hosing market point was to suggest that many people have alot of debt secured or otherwise, that they are looking for their equity to bail them out of.

You should be more open minded Richard though. All I am saying is we don't know the detail of individuals circumstances and should not make this out to be some horrific crime against us all. Most sensible people would see the abandonment of debt as a last resort and a misguided step to take in many cases as other options around bancruptcy, etc, I would suggest are far better course of action for lots of reasons.

FYI I do not plan to do this myself, but having during my life been at both ends of the financial spectrum and currently somewhere in the middle I would not vilify someone for asking a serious question and taking a full sounding on all the possible options.

in uk, i have to be earning over £16, 000 before "they" start taking student loan repayments, which is easy enough to do as a full time social worker, but a lot of my uni collegues are planning to work part time to avoid making any payments (and they are not looking at migrating), maybe i should do the same, but will it count in oz, surely i wouldn't have to pay it i were unemployed or worked part time?

I posted earlier that they caught up with my friend in Sydney for her Student Loan within the first 12 months of her arrival and she did not have work but she had to pay it back in full! If you do a runner they are not going to be as leanient as letting you defer payments.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Oh and by the way I will have paid off my student loan prior to departure.

It is people that do runners from Debt that end up costing the honest people with increased insurance premiums etc.....

Not a do gooder just an honest person who will clear her debt before leaving the country

Bit of a contridiction when you say, your friend in sydney got caught! was she running away too, some friend!

i am so pleased you are paying your loan before you go, could you lend me £10,000 so i could pay mine too!

;)

this is very confusing -in what way am i not open minded' on this issue...?

I called this type of action - theft .

At no point did i comment or moralise -either way- on what was being done nor on the person involved...

No contradiction what my friend does is up to her just like what you do is up to you. Like I say you will get caught probably when you least expect it just like what happened to my friend I am only warning you that the debt will haunt you!

I have a lot more debt than 10 grand but at least I can hold my head high with it paid off before I go to oz its called taking responsibility for your actions

sorry to be confusing, could be my misinterpretation of your words in some way. Your obviously a wonderfully well rounded liberal thinking person just making simple comment.

I have a speeding ticket that i didn't pay whilst i was in Oz, i don't live in the UK and i have no intention of ever going back to OZ. I had every intention of paying, but I lost the ticket and didn't knwo where to pay etc and then I had to go home. Do you think they're gonna track me down !?

Don May 29th 2003 4:11 pm

Anyone defaulting on a student loan (eg emigrating with no intention of paying it back) is simply stealing that money from the UK taxpayer and IMO that should be treated as a criminal offence.

Having said that, student grants used to be much better - mine was enough to pay fees, accomodation etc and I could still have 6 pints of good strong beer a night.

Cheers - Don

Interested May 29th 2003 4:16 pm

Oh for gods sake, you were blatanly squandering tax payers money, with your bloody grant. Count yourself lucky mate, those of us who actually worked at Uni under the pathetic labour government now have 10 000s pounds worth of debt to pay off.
