How does the loan work?
Your student loan is totally flexible and made to suit your individual requirements. You can borrow funds for both your course fees and your living expenses. Each student loan must have a parent or guardian to stand as guarantor and as party to the agreement.
Can I increase the loan amount?
Cherry Godfrey understands that your requirements can change during the term of your study. Should you need to increase your borrowing to meet increased costs, we can simply create a new agreement to give you the money you need and consolidate the previous student loan.
How long can I take it over?
Typically, a student loan is offered for the term of the course you are studying. Each circumstance is different though. We are willing to be flexible and create a loan to suit your needs. Come and speak to us.
Is this similar to a government loan?
No. Your Cherry Godfrey student loan is totally separate to any loan you may take out with the government.
Can I choose a repayment date?
Yes, you can select the date that suits you best.
Can I change my repayment date?
Circumstances change...we get that! We are happy to amend the repayment date at your request for no extra charge.
How can I make repayments?
Your student loan will be tailored to you. Interest only payments can form part of your loan by arrangement. Come and speak to us. Payments are ordinarily collected by direct debit either from your bank account, or from your guarantor (parent/guardian). Should you wish to make repayments by a different method, we are happy to discuss and find the most suitable repayment method for you.
Can I repay my loan early?
You can settle your student loan agreement in full at any time. Cherry Godfrey do not charge any additional fees for early settlement. Depending on where you are in the term of your loan, you may even be entitled to receive a rebate of interest!
Can I make overpayments?
Of course you can! We can offer various options if you have some additional funds and wish to pay off a lump sum or make overpayments. Any overpayment is best done by arrangement. Come and talk to us.
Change in your circumstances?
We understand that unexpected events happen. If your circumstances change or you wish to review your repayment arrangements, just get in touch with us. We are always happy to help you where we can.
