Old Gold Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 If you leave the UK and earn money in another country, do you still pay back student loans?Apparently if you leave a country for 6 years in a row or something it gets cancelled. It would probably fuck the shit out of your credit history though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 I work out the country and have been ignoring my student loans for some time. I dream that the debt will just be wiped off some day but I fear / expect a big bill to end up on my doorstep some day. I'm sure there were some forms I didn't reply to.

Gypsum_Fantastic Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 As fair as i'm aware if you leave the country it is very easy to ignore and i don't think you get hounded but it will fuck your credit history up, so pay it, i have to why shouldn't you?

Adam Easy Wishes Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 A few things:1- If you picked up the loan before 2006 then you would still owe the money until you are 65 regardless (unless you die).2- If you move abroad and are earning above the threshold to pay back a student loan, it is your responsibility to inform the Student Loan Company and arrange to pay them back by giving them money every month if they are unable to take it directly from your wages. You can be hit pretty hard if they find out.3- A student loan and/or not paying it back will never affect your credit history if the loan was taken out post-1998.This will help: Repay My Student Loan?: Save or clear debt, inc. calculator ...

That's some useful info right there As fair as i'm aware if you leave the country it is very easy to ignore and i don't think you get hounded but it will fuck your credit history up, so pay it, i have to why shouldn't you?I wasn't saying I don't want to pay it! (Though, let's face it, who does?) it was more would I still be required to pay it? Like I know there are requirements like you have to be earning over 20k or whatever before you have to start paying it back, I wasn't sure if one of the requirements was that you had to be resident in the UK.I don't have a clue how much I'm due them or how much I've paid, I haven't had a letter from them in years, there's just a chunk comes out of my salary every month. One is from 1998, the other from 2002 but I've only been paying it back for 4 years I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I earn under the threshold so hopefully I'm not heading for any big trouble. Although I wonder if the threshold changes depending on which country you are earning in, to reflect different levels of the cost of living.

Paranoid Android Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Looks like the threshold is the same for Spain as the UK though, which is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is from 1998, the other from 2002 but I've only been paying it back for 4 years I think.You should get in touch with them and find out. They're right cunts for taking payments even once your loan is paid. Doesn't help that they only update the balance once a year when they get your P60 information from HMRC.As I recently found out it's also useful to keep track of in case your employers are fucknuggets who can't sort out PAYE properly and they haven't been sending your PAYE data to HMRC. It wasn't until I got a student loan statement that had a higher balance than my last statement 2 years previously that I discovered this. Still sorting it out months later as I reckon I should have paid my loan off but it's still coming out of my salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I have a lot of music on my ipod I don't have backed up digitally so I want to rip all the music from my ipod to my laptop. A quick google search gives me loads of programmes which can do this but they all offer trial versions which will only do up to 100 tracks and then you have to pay for the software. Is there something I can use to do this for free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Just copy it straight from the iPod onto the laptop from My Computet. Browse the iPod and copy theMusic folder. It's all disorganised and coded in the folders, but when you load it all into iTunes it remembers all the formatting from your iPod. That's what I do.

Soda Jerk Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 If you do that, does it keep the cover art? I manually assigned and uploaded all the cover art onto my ipod. It took about a week. I also need to back it all up, as it's now a few years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
