Queries following the Matching Exercise

There will be circumstances in which, following an unsuccessful match, the Student Loans Company will provide HMRC with borrower or employment details.

The Student Loans Company does not normally know the responsible office for the borrower, nor will it attempt to trace it.

The Student Loans Company sends all correspondence to the Centre for Revenue Intelligence (CRI) initially. CRI will ascertain which office deals with the taxpayer and forward the relevant correspondence to that office.

Other Queries
