Frederick Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Why are the UK chasing £11 million owed by EU students to the Student Loan Company who have avoided paying back their tuition fees for an education in the UK . Seems only 9 students so far have been taken to court for non payment because so many have avoided being located after leaving the UK . Why cant we deduct this money from the EU Budget payments we make then ask France Germany and all the others to find them..They should have to chase their own people who have taken this money then "ducked " out of paying it back to get in into the tax system .48% of EU students avoiding repayment is a hell of a lot and reflects badly on their honesty l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Only 0.48%?Reflects quite well on their honesty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Seems on this Forum many would be well placed to pop round to addresses where they have ignored letters from the UK to slap a notice for payment in mum or dads hands for the right fee say 100 euros to be added to their outstanding fees . For a share of £11 million I see a French wide collection agency business run from home here ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 So its OK for EU students to have a free education half of them at the expense of the UK taxpayer is it ? UK students have to pay back their loans when they are earning.Are you seriously suggesting that there should be no way of following up these deliberate payment avoiders and let them get away with ripping off the UK tax payer .They have been doing it for years now ..time it was stopped !

NormanH Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Higher Education should be free, or very cheap, as in civilised countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybanana Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 [quote user="Frederick"]UK students have to pay back their loans when they are earning.[/quote]Be accurate please Fredo: "when they are earning a certain amount, about £15000 or more". But they also pay tax and the loan is not tax deductible as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
