I’m sure you’ve all seen the latest viral moan doing the rounds on Facebook and the like. Simon Crowther wrote an open letter to his MP, via his Facebook account, specifying how the interest on his student loan had added an extra £1800 to his debt in 12 months. The letter has since been shared over 40,000 times.
