Not wishing to pick an argument with either of you or the esteemed Martin Lewis.
I personally struggle to understand how money that is lent to a student by a quasi government organisation that has the word loan in its name isn't really a debt.
The money that is given comes with interest.
When sprog 2 went for a mortgage they weren't interested in what her tax rate was but they wanted to know about her student loan.
