Student Loans Company Ltd

The complainant has requested a copy of the student loan records of a deceased named individual held by Student Loans Company Limited (SLC). SLC relied on sections 21, 31 and 40(2) of the FOIA to withhold the information. The Commissioner’s decision is that SLC was entitled to rely on section 21 of the FOIA to withhold the information relating to the deceased individual’s date of birth, address, place/course/year(s) of study, parents’ names, names of sibling(s), amounts/dates of some student loan payments and bank details. She has also decided that the remaining withheld information engages the exemption under section 31(1)(c) of the FOIA, and that the public interest favours maintaining the exemption. She is therefore satisfied that SLC is entitled to withhold this information. The Commissioner does not require any further steps to be taken as a result of this decision notice.
