Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT
Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt"
"From the day I was charged RPI interest"
"Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000"
"Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes"
"On top of that its a regressive system"
"If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me"
"The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking"
Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?"
Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?"
"The state paid for it, didn't they?"
Fiona Bruce, "They did"
Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

Unilaterally changing a contract that 17&18 year olds were pressured to enter into in order to have a chance at success in the job market to terms that make them significantly worse off is immoral.
Worse still, the chancellor seems to think that student loans thresholds are there to be changed to suit the treasuries income needs, they are not a tax.
If a high street lender did this, the ombudsman would rule against them.
“Fair and proportionate”
Chancellor Rachel Reeves says the student loans system is “reasonable”, in response to Martin Lewis’ claims on #Newsnight that freezing the threshold at which graduates repay their student loans was not “a moral thing” for her to do.

Plan 2 student loan borrowers are getting a raw deal.
Repayments keep going up while people are already stretched to the limit.
This system isn’t fair and it isn’t working - graduates deserve clarity, stability and a path that doesn’t leave them worse off.

Cash returns just don't cut it anymore.
It's time to call game, set and match on them.
