Phone contract comparisons 'amounted to mis-selling' student loans, MPs say

Treasury select committee also says ministers have moral obligation to reverse last year’s repayment threshold freeze Slideshows that compared student loan repayments with the cost of a mobile phone contract, and YouTube videos that did not mention the fact that loan terms could change amounted to mis-selling by the government, MPs have said. The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, caused a furore last year when she announced that the repayment threshold on plan 2 student loans would be frozen at £29,385 for three years from April 2027.
