U.K. Student loan
Hello Guys,
New to the forum and new to the country.
Since moving here my girlfriend has chased up paying her outstanding student loan.
Can anyone tell me the best ways to pay it. They want a monthly direct debit from a U.K. Account, which would cost a fortune in transfers and we don't have much liquid cash to transfer big blocks for the year.
Also how do they calculate the threshold for the current financial year?
I know the calculate thresholds for each country but we can't find a current one.
Look forward to hearing your answers.
I never normally come on forums as these days they end in a bitching match between answerers so please be polite.
Cheers

Thresholds can be found at Student Loan Repayment - Plan 1 - Overseas thresholds and I found the easiest way was to transfer each quarter using tranzfers.com.au ($15 per transfer and great exchange rate). Otherwise you can pay by credit card online when you log into your account with some Student Loan companies.
Best of luck.

My son was sent a form to complete when he notified his new address. He had to send evidence of his earnings, he was below the threashold so has nothing to pay. They will check each year I think.
Agree that the website and the personal log in sections of the student loans on line stuff is terrible to navigate and ringing them is no better most of the time!
