Pause Student Loan payments for everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

During these challenging times the disposable income of families is under a lot of pressure. The Government has taken a lot of measures to support the low earning people, however the people that earn a bit more and have mortgages and other commitments they still struggle with cash during this period

This measure should only be temporary and aimed at the whole population so everyone can benefit from additional cash in their pocket after tax
