Move comes after Research Professional News revealed scale of overpayment problems
The Student Loans Company is trialling automatic bank refunds to customers who have overpaid their student loans.
People whose student loan accounts are in credit may receive a refund if it is possible to validate their bank account details. If so, the repayment will then be paid directly into customers’ bank accounts and will show as “SLC Receipts” on their statements.
