I, like millions of people, took out a student loan. At the time I took it out, there were agreed terms and conditions; since then, Governments of different colours and persuasions have changed those terms, with no recourse for people like me and others across the country. It has become a tax on aspiration, stopping people from buying their own homes and starting families. I want to see a reversal and change to make the system fairer and work as it was originally intended.
