I borrowed £43,871 when I went to uni and graduated in 2020.
I have been paying off my Plan 2 student loan since April 2021.
Today, my balance is £89,861.50.
Back in August 2024 my interest rate was 8% each month. To put that into context, that’s £590.90, and I could only afford to pay £115.00.
How is this fair?
In 2016 I was told it would feel like a household bill or a trip to the cinema. Now it’s the difference between getting on the property ladder or staying in rented flat shares.
Every month, to this day, £307.30 of interest is added to my bill. And I’m projected to pay 9% of my salary for the next 25 years to repay my student loan.
This has to end.
A Restore Britain government will fix this injustice and will always put British men and women first.

Think the people who actively leave comments on BBC news articles must be the dumbest group of society available. Completely out of touch giving opinions on subjects that dont even come close to them.
