The overseas based borrowers unit of the IRD has several times of the year when it is much busier than usual. This includes the run up to the compulsory payment due dates of 30 September and 31 March, and around the times when high numbers of overseas resident New Zealanders travel home, like Easter and Christmas. Right now is not a particularly busy time which means that applications and questions should be able to be dealt with faster.
If you have a student loan debt that is starting to get out of control, or which you are not paying, we recommend that this is dealt with now, instead of doing nothing and hoping that your life will improve so that you can cover the shortfall in the future. Not only does postponing dealing with the problem for the future not usually work out, but the debt will have grown much faster than most people can imagine. If you deal with the problem, when it is small, you will have more options for resolving it, and the IRD is also likely to be able to offer you more flexibility.
We are here if you need assistance with your situation.
