Interest rules should be changed so balances don’t keep rising while borrowers make regular repayments, ensuring a fairer and more sustainable system.","additional_details":"The Plan 2 system is fundamentally unfair. The repayment threshold freeze forces graduates to pay more each year during a cost of living crisis, while high interest rates make balances grow even when people repay. It’s placing huge pressure on a generation already struggling to build secure futures, delaying milestones like saving, housing and stability. Ending the freeze and reviewing the system is urgently needed.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":21,"created_at":"2026-02-04T06:59:04.245Z","updated_at":"2026-03-24T11:40:13.908Z","rejected_at":"2026-03-12T15:02:39.783Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-02-04T07:40:00.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/759316  \r\n\r\n\r\nYou may also wish to sign this petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/759293 "},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
