Sorry GeoSurfer I really have no idea, I have just reset my p/w on my account and made a payment online from my UK account to clear the balance

yea same here as its basically double for Australian dollar, thens there the transer cost to add on each month. regards penalties - i've read that if you didn't keep them updated the whole time they enforce penalties, after i sent of my documentation the first time in 2011 i did not contact again..i've not heard from them but im worried they will add penalties for not contacting?

Hi Naomi Thanks for the msg. If poss may i ask how much u owed or what percentage of your initial amount did you have to pay in penalties? Its the initial amount + interest + penalties/fees that we have to pay total if clearing balance? (the arrears are not included)

(Thanks Pom Queen) Thanks Julie If my dad is going to clear the balance am i still required to gather all documentation? I don't even have proof for all of it

Hi I had filled in an overseas assesment form in 2010 and was told i had to pay $70 a month, however I sent documentation trying to reason how i could not afford this (i.e. on a working hol visa you can only work for 6 months therefore i cannot pay an annual fee, also the transfer costs and how Sydney's living costs are higher etc.) I did not hear back from them after this in 2011, i have changed address but they have all my home details and did not contact. I am still in Australia but currently unemployed although my dad has offered to pay the loan off. Will they accept this and possibly negotiate on the interest accrued if he pays a lump sum in one go to clear the balance? Will there be more to pay on top of the initial amount plus the monthly amount accrual? Any help is much appreciated Thanks
