the student loans company have sent me a letter
"We have been notified by the HM revenue and customs that according to their records you are no longer emplyed or in reciept of any taxable benifit. In order for us to determine if you are eligible to make repayment on your Income Contingent Loan, please provide us with the following information...."
I've been betting for a living (not on betfair) for the past 18 months and not claimed any benifits buring this time.
I have to fill in a form stating
* self employed
* unemployed
* attending a further study course
* other
now the obvious answer is unemployed, but it then goes on to say "You must provide evidence that shows us how you support yourself financially"
how do i do this? I can't say i've been betting for a living can I? the obvious (and true) answer would be to say I am unemployed and living of savings????
will a copy of my bank statement be sufficient evidence?
my mail was late being directed, so I only have 2 weeks to submit this to the SLC.
Anyone been in a similar situation with the SLC?
many thanks

Why can't you say you've been gambling for a living?

I had this exact issue in the early 90s fwiw and although there were 15 or so years of complications, most of which I'm not willing to post here, when I was asked what I did, there was never any real objection to the gambling thing.

i just started paying them back, pretty impossible to prove anything when making your money this way. mine were on the old system where you could defer if your income was below a certain amount

Oh, and they're**bags. If you're over the income threshhold you signed to, then pay them, if you're not, then fight for every single penny because you're entitled to an inflation linked loan until you cross that line (or at least that's how it used to work)

I don't think Gambling winners are classes as a income so you can just tell them you won some money and they can't touch it. I won 60k on a bet last year, and not paid a penny of my loan back.

I put that my Mrs supports me. She signs a letter saying such like and no problem. Before that, my Dad did the same thing and no problem there either.

Congrats again on the win Didley!!!
Being nosey Onions....what did you win £60k on? |
|
By:
Got some insane placepot last year for a tenner.
I wont lie, I had a spare £10 in my betfair so I clicked random numbers, went to work (coral) and learnt I was somehow still in with 1 leg to go. Loved it. |

i got one of these also. They must be on it at the mo. What did you opt to put down? i have been betting full time for 5 years i bet in cash in the shops and dont bank any of it? what would anyone suggest when filing in the form

basically I got done over when I filled out a selfassesment, I was hoping to get my six years of not making a payment then the debt is not enforcable, but they made a payment of £0.00 on my behalf, obv when they come to collect I will contest it.
But they worded the letter in a way that if I have a issue I should say or they will take it that I intend on making repayments when my taxable income goes above the threshold. |

It's a god job some of us repay our debts, or you lot wouldn't be able to have loans in the first place.
|
|
By:
trev that is not the point.
i do pay my debts. and i will pay this one eventually. I'm not obliged to pay back any more until i am earning again. when i have a job i will pay it back. |

Get a job. Pay them back. Grow up.
