Write off all plan 1 Student Loans after 25 years

Closed 349 signatures

What the petition asks

Write off all plan 1 student loans including those paid out before 1st September 2006 after 25 years. Currently the write off date for those who were paid their loan before 1st September 2006 is when they are 65 years old.
We believe that this would demonstrate fairness to older voters who feel forgotten in debates about student finance.
