Student Loan Scheme Act 2011

Repayment obligations of borrowers - New Zealand-based borrowers' repayment obligations for salary or wages - Further means of recovering amounts that remain unpaid

52: Recovery of assessed amounts

You could also call this:

“How the government checks and tells you about your student loan payments”

If you owe money on your student loan, the Commissioner will check how much you owe and let you know. They will send you a letter that tells you:

  1. They have checked your loan
  2. How much you need to pay
  3. When you need to pay it by (you’ll have at least 30 days)
  4. That you might have to pay extra if you don’t pay on time

The amount they say you owe will not be more than what you should have paid for that time. The Commissioner will be fair when working out how much you owe.
