    "The backlog meant three quarters of English universities had to make emergency payments to students short of rent and food money"

    er, is this Britain, or some banana republic??? These are our future lawyers, doctors, and mercifully (on the principle of what goes around, comes around...) our future politicians. Bet they don't forget...

    The production line without proper supervision problem

    As well as the problems revealed by PwC and others, students talking to me about their problems with the loan company have indicated that they cannot talk to anyone who can take ownership of their problem and resolve it.
