I wrote a post a while ago about how crap the student loan company is. It seems I’m not the only person with a bad impression – let’s take a look at some of the referring search terms Piggynap’s had from the past couple of months:

And these are just *some* of the things people have been searching for. It’s good to know there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it!
the good thing about student loans is that apparently it’s “cheap debt” (at least by comparison to a normal loan). I pretty much hate everything to do with student loaning anyway; I regard it as a disgusting rip-off, so will continue to pay mine back as slowly as possible!
Matt is right in that a student loan is the “best value” loan you’ll ever have. However I’m not a fan of them anyway, my first repayments meant I’d be paying off my loan for the next 120 years
