Hello,

I have come to the conclusion that I do not need to make a compulsory repayment to my HELP debt as I have a dependent.

However, my HELP debt is blowing out of control and effecting my ability to get a home loan or other loans and pay off other debt.


My employer takes SLST out of my pay, but I didn't see any go onto my debt after my Tax Return.

I would actually like to make my compulsory repayment so I can get rid of my debt. Is that possible?
