Sale of Student Loans Act 2008
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
1 Sale of student loans
(1) The Secretary of State may enter into arrangements (“transfer arrangements”) under which rights of the Secretary of State in respect of student loans are transferred to another person (“the loan purchaser”).

(4) Transfer arrangements may include provision— (a) transferring to the loan purchaser an obligation of the Secretary of State in connection with a loan; (b) transferring to the loan purchaser the benefit of an obligation or undertaking of the borrower in respect of a loan (whether deriving from loan regulations or from arrangements agreed between the borrower and the Secretary of State in respect of the loan (“loan arrangements”)); (c) for warranties or indemnities or other obligations of the Secretary of State; (d) enabling the Secretary of State to require a loan purchaser to make specified arrangements in connection with the administration of loans (whether by appointing a specified agent for specified purposes, or otherwise); (e) prohibiting the loan purchaser from making specified arrangements without the Secretary of State's consent; (f) specifying consequences of the breach of a provision of the transfer arrangements.

(7) The Secretary of State shall take reasonable steps to notify the borrower within three months of transfer arrangements taking effect.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
