Proposed changes to student loan repayments

BBC Radio 4 - Money Box, Proposed changes to student loan repayments

What lowering the salary you start paying back a student loan could mean for your finances

Student loan repayments, forced into debt by a partner and tracing old financial products.

People in England and Wales who started university from September 2012 could see their student loan repayments rise by hundreds of pounds a year.

Economic abuse has grown during the pandemic. We talk to one woman who was forced into debt by her husband. 

And one 82-year- old wants to know where his £1200 savings bond has gone which he took out in 1986. How do you trace old financial products?
