Is so vanilla
I'm thinking of going back to study. But I've already had two years' of student loans back in the early 1990s.
That might not necessarily be a problem, because it's my understanding that people are entitled to up to four years of student loans. So I could potentially get two more years.
However, the student loans I had in around 1990-91/91-92 were the original style loans, which were written off about 10-15 years or so ago. I'd made some payments over the years, but I'd spent a lot of time out of work or in low paid jobs, and a few years overseas.
(I was originally studying engineering, but dropped out after my father assaulted me about six weeks before my end of year exams, so I went to pieces and flunked them. Long story, but I was a care leaver although my father had never been prosecuted for physical abuse because the social services hadn't followed their own procedures, according to a senior social worker. And when this happened, I'd asked the police to do something, but I'd been told that they wouldn't do anything unless it was 'attempted murder,' to which I responded that there was a fine line between attempted murder and murder and what happens if you don't get there in time the next time? Years later, I passed the first year of a self-funded part-time law degree, but I moved to London and I couldn't transfer due to course incompatibility issues.)
So I don't know whether the fact that I had two years of student loans that were subsequently written off means that I can't apply for the other two years that people are theoretically entitled to?
