So I owe this much money from studying my degree in the UK, the interests keep piling up and I owe 10k more than I did when I finished studying.
Since I no longer live there and have no plans to move back or even visit, with Brexit taking place my question is can I just refuse to pay it back? What are the legal grounds or means they have to force me to pay?
I was born in an EU country, is anyone here in the same boat?
The amount people generally pay back is pathetic (if you're a UK citizen). You can earn £20k+ (last time I looked) before they start taking anything and then it's only like £8 a week.
Whoopdie shit.

I think you are good, just never enter the UK again.

Hi sir,
I think you don't need to pay until you not earn more than £xxx pa in UK or something like that..
So if you won't come back ever you should be fine.
The earliest you’ll start repaying is either:
the April after you leave your course the April 4 years after the course started, if you’re studying part-time
Your repayments automatically stop if either:
you stop working your income goes below the threshold
If you have a Plan 1 student loan
You’ll only repay when your income is over £372 a week or £1,615 a month (before tax and other deductions). If you have a Plan 2 student loan
You’ll only repay when your income is over £511 a week or £2,214 a month (before tax and other deductions).
Due to the limitation act, if you avoid pursuance for 6 years, the credit will expire Your NI number, if you were issued one, will still be traceable though, but people have historically just applied for a new one upon reentry to the UK after these 6 years

Literally no one talks or thinks like this

I'm in a kind of similar situation. I'm a UK citizen working abroad. I've just been ignoring their letters and I don't even know how much I'm supposed to be repaying. Thing is, I do want to go back one day. I only have less than 10k, though, so I should just pay it off and stop worrying. Not sure what other ways I might be screwing myself over (credit rating?) by being an irresponsible anxious faggot about this.
