i was asked to put this on the board and show you how easy we in the UK are easily fleeced.
Surely our Government should contact the Governments of countries where these students live & get them to sort this out asap. We have their names & addresses to help locate them..

Norman, nothing will be done about it. As the norm goes it will be left to the British tax payer.

And why should we ever loan money to a foreign student? It beggars belief, when it's an odds-on safe bet that they may return to their country of origin....bye-bye money... DUH!

Student loans shouldn't be available to overseas students but also is this one year?, 10 year? Because leaving behind debt isn't a new thing. Is it the historical debt since student loans started, it would be nice to have some context.
