Some people claim they've gotten £700 back just by following the money expert's advice and making a phone call
Martin Lewis has been showered with praise after issuing advice to anyone who has outstanding university debt. After urging Brits to check if they are owed money due to overpaying, many have taken to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share how long they've been waiting to get through to The Student Loans Company to find out if they are indeed owed.
In response, Martin Lewis himself issued a piece of advice and admitted the long waiting times are likely his '"fault". He said: "If you're calling Student loans company - worth knowing this, you can leave it a few days - I suspect this is my fault!!!" Explaining the findings in more detail, Martin Lewis said in his latest MSE newsletter: "Some get £100s back just with a quick call, others may have to push harder, as Fiona emailed: 'Thank you so much. I knew something wasn't right when I lodged my tax returns, and reading Martin's article was the catalyst for a sustained attempt to work out what had happened. Finally, I received £3,773 back.
Meanwhile, GlenH84 said he waited for 75 minutes, but was handed back a whopping £450 refund. Ryan Haybyrne added: "Managed to get through early this morning before the rush! £350 coming back to me so well worth it!"How to claim back overpayments Once you've finished your studies, your student loan acts more like a tax than loan, as it is only paid back in line with earnings.
