style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p
style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span
style="color: #000000;"><strong>Many students have no idea how they pay back their student loans after finishing University. </strong></span></p><p
style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span
style="color: #000000;"><strong>So I made this short guide to summarise the key facts on how to repay student loans.</strong></span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"><span
id="more-944"></span></span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">If you are employed in the UK, your student loan repayments will be collected for the PAYE system (Pay As You Earn).</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">This means that you don’t start paying back your student loan until you go over a certain payment threshold.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><strong><span
style="color: #000000;">Currently that threshold is £1250 a month, or £288 a week, depending on how you get paid, with an annual threshold of £15000.</span></strong></p><div
class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext" style="text-align:center;margin:12px;"></div><p><strong><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></strong></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">Your Student Loan repayments will be nine per cent of anything you earn over the relevant threshold. Remember that this isn&#8217;t the same as nine per cent of your total <strong>income</strong> &#8211; you only make repayments on what you earn above the threshold.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">For example if you make £2250 a month, you will pay back 9% of £1000 every month (£90), because you earn £1000 over the threshold.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"><strong>How do I know how much I have to pay back?</strong></span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span><span
style="color: #000000;">If you are in work and pay tax and National Insurance, your employer will calculate and deduct Student Loan repayments due each pay period, based on your earnings for that period and the current student interest rate.</span></p><p> </p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">The student loans company will be informed of your total student loan repayments at the end of the financial year, so it is important to keep your records in case your results differ. Double check your payment is inline with the student interest which is currently being charged. You don’t want to pay more then you should do!</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">You can check your balance online, or contact the Student Loans Company by letter or telephone and they will carry out these calculations on your behalf.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;"> </span></p><p
style="text-align: center;"><span
style="color: #000000;">I hope this guide provided you with the information you needed about <strong>student loans interest</strong> and repayment methods!</span></p><p

style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span
style="color: #000000;">Benjamin Barton had fallen for Amy Ogden whom he had met at the University of Southampton but feared she had been killed when he was unable to contact her for several days in the run-up to Valentine&#8217;s Day.</span></p><p
style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span
style="color: #000000;">The 24 year old, of Bognor Regis, West Sussex, pleaded guilty at Southampton Crown Court to a charge of criminal damage but was acquitted of an offence of burglary.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">He then made his way to Southampton General Hospital where he tried to talk his way into the morgue by claiming he was a medical student and had left his work inside.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">The manager took his name and mobile phone number and contacted the out-of-hours mortician who told him he would be let in the following day to collect what he wanted.</span></p><p><span

class="ezAdsense adsense adsense-midtext" style="text-align:center;margin:12px;"></div><p><span
style="color: #000000;">He then left the hospital but only to buy an axe, a chisel and a hammer at a home improvements shop, before coming back the next day and smashing his way through an internal door.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">Once inside he searched through confidential records and even looked at various bodies in a bid to locate Ms Ogden.</span></p><p> </p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">Hampshire police spokesman Ian Sainsbury said: &#8220;Barton went into the mortuary looking for Ms Ogden but at the time she was actually safe and well at her family home elsewhere in the country.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">&#8220;After he was arrested he told police he had been suffering from a broken heart and became convinced something had happened to her.</span></p><p><span
style="color: #000000;">&#8220;He said he then checked records before going to the drawers containing the unidentified bodies and looked at them to see if they were her. When he finally became convinced she wasn&#8217;t there he left.&#8221;</span></p><p><span
