And now they're looking around and saying, what's going to be done for us?
Who's going to help us?
So I think let's hear from one more of them and hear what they have to say.
That's going to help in years to come.
But what about, I mean, it's millions of people on plan two loans, right?
They've capped the interest.
at six percent but if you're paying nine percent of what you earn above 25k 29k depending which plan you're on that is a lot of money and you're still six percent interest is still a lot and i tell you what doesn't get talked about and i i experienced this myself i paid off my student loan a couple of years ago i went when fees were much lower so i've been lucky enough to do that every time i applied to remortgage my house
In my day job I travel around this country interviewing people from all walks of life more and more I'm meeting people in their 30s and their 20s
who do not have the lives they thought they would have, right?
That is what people say to me over and over and over again.
I never thought my life would look like this.
I thought I'd have kids.
I didn't think I'd be living at home.
I knew I'd be in debt.
I thought I'd be able to repay it.
And we've heard from your audience as well, there's this phrase that's kept coming up, missold.
I was missold.
I was missold a future.
I was missold a student loan.
And we don't have time to get into it, but I really do think there is a bit of a case of misselling with student loans.
