Age Related Cancellation

As you might be aware, under the terms of your Student Loan Agreement, you may be entitled to an ‘Age Related Cancellation’ if your account is not in arrears and you meet the criteria for a cancellation. As we are now approaching 25 years since first Student Loans were granted, we wanted to remind our customers of this option and advise on what conditions need to be met in order to be eligible for cancellation.

If you meet the eligibility criteria for cancellation (as outlined below), you don’t need to do anything as we will carry out this activity automatically and inform you once we did so. If your loan is cancelled you will no longer need to make any further payments and the remaining balance of the loan will be written off.

If you are currently in arrears, your loan will not be cancelled until you repay your arrears and are up to date with your payments. Please contact us to discuss your circumstances.

Please note, if your loan has been terminated, you will no longer be eligible for Age Related Cancellation.
