3 About deferring your loan repayments What is deferment? Deferment is the process of postponing your Mortgage Style student loan repayments for the period of 12 months (or 36 months if you meet the criteria as a disabled customer). If you have a Mortgage Style Loan and you have a gross monthly income below the current deferment threshold you may be eligible to apply for deferment. The deferment threshold for the year from 1st September 2013 is 2,398 (equivalent to 28,775 per year). How to apply for deferment In order to defer your repayments you need to complete and return the application form and provide proof of your gross income or means of financial support. Only your income is taken into account you do not need to provide income details of your spouse, partner, parents or any other relatives. Your gross income is the amount you earn before any deductions (such as Income Tax or National Insurance) are taken from your pay. Use this guide to help you complete the application form, if you need any further advice, please call us on or visit our website at You will need to continue to make repayments until you receive confirmation in writing from us that your deferment has been accepted. If your deferment application is accepted and you are currently making repayments by Direct Debit, we will suspend your Direct Debit automatically for the period of your deferment. These notes are for guidance only and reflect the position at the time of writing. They do not affect any right of appeal.
