  • Another Erudio post

    Hello there,

    the forums told me to post in welcome and say 'hello' so once again hello.

    I don't know if anyone can help I've been arguing with Erudio about this for years, I had another Drydensfairfax letter about my student loan from my old style loan that ended in 1998

    I sent my bank statements as proof of my income to defer my loan in 2015 (self employed). 

I then received a letter saying my application was incomplete, I rang them and was told that I needed to supply my Tax Return or Accountants Letter (I didn't have these at the time) and that they would not accept my bank statement as proof of income for my second deferment - only a tax return or accountants letter.

 I supplied bank statements and invoices the year before though and it was accepted then.

    However I received a message from Erudio in 2019 suggesting I should have sent business invoices as well as my bank statement. This information was not relayed to me during my phone call in 2015. I can't remember if I sent the invoices as well at the time as it was so long ago, but I do remember printing them so either they lost them or I didn't send them.

    Erudio have stated they do not have a physical recording of this call or record of giving me the wrong information however they have sent me their own call logs which do state clearly that they told me on the phone in 2015 that ‘however this year we are asking for a tax return’ . This contradicts all correspondance from them that says I could have provided bank statements and invoices. I feel the person on the phone call misinformed or was trained poorly to advise me what was missing from the loan deferment.

    It's not a massive amount but I don't see why I should be on the hook when they share, at least, part of the blame for this error.

    Having litigated with them and currently dealing with them on the same type of issue i can say that it is utter rubbish.

    The rules on deferment are set out in the The Education (Student Loans) Regulations 1998 statutory instrument 211/1998. You do not need to give them chapter and verse, you merely need to satisfy the regulations

    9. Each year the lender will tell the borrower the new deferment level for the period between 1st September and the following 31st August. The borrower can defer making repayments of the loan if—

    (a)the lender has not already asked him to repay the loan in full, and

    (b)he can show—

    (i)that his gross income for the relevant month is not more than the deferment level, and

    (ii)if the lender asks, that his gross average monthly income during the 3 months immediately following the relevant month will not or is unlikely to be more than the deferment level.

    10. Each deferment period will last for 12 months beginning on a date the lender tells the borrower. This date will be not more than three months before or two months after the date the lender accepts the borrower’s deferment application. The borrower can end the deferment period at any time. To do this he must tell the lender in writing when to start collecting payments from his bank account.

    11. If the borrower can defer making repayments under paragraph 9 and he can show the lender that he gets a disability related benefit and that his gross monthly income during the 36 months immediately following the relevant month will not or is unlikely to be more than the deferment level the deferment period will last for 36 months.

      Hello, thanks for that information. Sorry it took a while to respond I'd not noticed the notification. I am quite sick of them not listening to me now, I had another letter from Drydensfairfax saying Erudio said my dispute was not valid so I think I do need to find some sort of professional legal help now as they are not listening.

      Thanks for your reply, it's made me feel a lot better.

          That's great thanks, I guess I just need direction on what to tell them and what to do next. Thank you again.
