for demanding repayment. Especially when they draw huge salaries and get unwarranted bonuses for treating their vulnerable account holders in this way. This was Barclays! |

Dan and I were just talking about this, so very sad, people do not appreciate the 'drip drip' effect of debt on the soul, it is a constant 'presence', your first thought in the morning and the last at night. And it is for such paltry amounts in the grand scheme of things, when giving debtors more time to pay, freezing the interest charges, and accepting small payments could make all the difference. |

When I went to University (when England last won the World Cup), I left with no debts at all and a more or less guaranteed job. Every graduate did. |

I have read that the amount of graduate debt students are being left with has recently been revealed, showing that the average graduate has to repay around £26,000 after graduation. |

Paula, one of my children is still paying back their student loan and it will go on forever at her rate of pay. The other two now don't owe anything thank goodness. |

DS I agree my son studied law which took seven years including his solicitor training placement. He paid off his student loan at the minimum amount over the longest period of time. He is now a partner in a law practice. People say he is very lucky, I think anyone leaving uniiversity now and going into employment is very lucky. |
