Student Loans Company threatened 300,000 with fake legal letters
UNIVERSITIES minister David Willetts admitted yesterday that a government agency threatened more than 300,000 cash-strapped graduates with fake legal letters.

The SLC sent letters to the graduates that claimed to be from the Smith Lawson & Company debt collection agency.
