What is with these people?!

The student loans people do my nut.

What the hell is their deal anyway?!!!!!

Last year they deduced from my salary that I should be making repayments of £1.72 a month.

Like that's gonna make a dent.

Then I has to send them another form to account for the next 12 months...my salary is exactly the same but the next 12 months I have to make repayments of 5 quid a month.

The difference is bound to be due to the insane fluctuations in the £-YEN exchange rates. Whatever - paying back a fiver a month doesn't bother me.

What does fuck me off however, is the fact that they ask for these dumb ass repayments that don't even make a nick in the INTEREST that I'm paying every month on this loan. A whopping 50 quid a month has taken the total that i owe to over 20 grand.

I DIDN'T EVEN BORROW THAT MUCH!!!!!!

And these repayments don't even come within a fraction of making a difference. A tenth of the interest. That's what I'm repaying every month. Fools. Well, looks like I won't have paid that off by the time I'm 65 so the slate gets wiped clean.

Of course I could use the money that I'm earning to make extra repayments..

HELL NO!! That money is buying me a damn house!!! Who in their right mind would choose paying off their loan rather than buying a house?!

These things should be interest free dammit. You get an education and you have to pay for it for the rest of your life.

Me thinks not!
