CSLM15025 - Matching records: unmatched records: cases matched in error - general

There will inevitably be a small number of cases where the Student Loans Company record has matched with the wrong PAYE and / or SA record. These cases should be rare because matches are made on

  • NINO for SA cases
  • NINO and surname or NINO and date of birth for PAYE case

And then

  • Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) for PAYE / SA cases

East Kilbride Student Loans Unit (EKSLU) liaises with the Student Loans Company (SLC) to identify where the error lies and correct the records.
