Well done again, Neil. This is absolutely shocking. I taught at a college doing business HNDs a few years ago and almost all students were from overseas, with a lot from Romania. The students were nice people, but not exceptionally bright or committed as a rule (as ever, there were exceptions). It's amazing that similar students are still being funded.

An extraordinary piece of research – thank you!

Fabulous piece of evidence based research, which reinforces that our nation is truly run by idiots. Trump would ban Romanians from applying for student loans and ban flights to and from Romania if they complained. Job done

I wonder how FSA would view any bank carrying a loan book like this?

Is there an actual end date to the underlying settled status scheme - 5 plus years is as you say far more than just missing the deadline.
