End student loan repayments after 25 years of initial repayment

Closed 115 signatures

What the petition asks

If you took out a student loan between 2006-7 and 2012 repayment is cancelled and loan written off after 25 years, (30 years for Scotland). However if you took your first loan before 2006 you have to continue repaying until you’re aged 65!
I’m asking for equality!
