Martin Lewis furious with government over new student loan repayment plan

Finance guru and TV presenter Martin Lewis has lashed out at the Government after it announced a major shake-up of the student loan repayment scheme.

The changes which were announced on Friday Jan 28 means students will have to pay more money back over an extended repayment period.

Minister of State for Higher and Further education, Michelle Donelan released the statement last night, in part saying: "Maintaining the repayment threshold at its current level, alongside the ongoing freeze in fees, will help to ensure the sustainability of the student loan system, while keeping higher education open to everyone who has the ability and the ambition to benefit from it, including the most disadvantaged."
