[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1056817, member: 72977"] I just missed the first increase by labour before I started uni. In fact I deferred so I was paying 1,200 whilst everyone else was on £3000. When they put it up again I said at the time it was nothing more than a stunt to lower the national deficit. Simply the government doesn't count loans as part of the national deficit. Therefore they wiped £6000 pounds per student roughly from the national deficit. (I haven't kept up with fees, do they still pretend that unis should be charging less than £9k for some courses or are they now just a blanket £9k?). This issue was always going to arise that many people would not pay back the entirety of their loans and this was always going to leave future governments out of pocket, because money was spent that in theory was supposed to be paid back, but gets wiped away, so actually the income of future governments is affected. Essentially they threw the issue down the line. The government is now realising that they are out of pocket and so are trying to fix it. As for the legality I honestly can't see how it can be legal. Expect a lot of court challenges over it. Honestly I'm so glad I got in before the first top up fees and managed to pay it all back quickly. [/QUOTE]
