I must say that for me i was really very impressed with the service that i got from the HELB office. Picture this: a statement, payment receipts and a clearance certifucate all in one day! Courtesy of a guy by the name of Mr Lengoiboni!! Applause Applause Applause

@Apple Bees - You are in luck. Their policy is "If you want to avoid the penalties, pay the lump sum". You don't even have to negotiate. They will simply give you the statement, you give them a cheque and voila you are one debt down!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

whather you are paying lumpsum depends on the amount which is a factor of the time you schooled.
For those Who schooledin the 80's you only pay a few thousands which may not be muvh. But if you belong to the post nyayo era, it means what you owe HELB can afford you a decent car or a plot.

Good people,

I visited the site and realised that 'malenge ni mboga!' The guys have nyoroshad me penalties mbaya. Honestly I forgot that I had a small balance. Now the amount has doubled. Can they overlook the penalties if i pay what I owed in lumpsum? Any experiences?

That's actually the policy. Simply do them a cheque for the original balance. You can email your account supervisor for furthter information.

Started and cleared my repayments immediately on my first job. In fact, they deducted more than they should have and I remember printing that out to claim some day (sum wasnt large enough to warrant the hassle).

I've just logged in and guess what, ati I owe them a small balance (posted last year). Requesting them for computation via the email address they've indicated...

The biggest problem with HELB is lack of proper disclosure. They do charge ledger fees @ 1000 bob per year in July which is deducted from your repayment instalment.

How can one view the outstanding balance for post graduate loans through HELB website?

If you input ID number only Under grad loan details are displayed.

@Maich, can you confirm that 100% bwana! If I pay back the original amount + interest in lumpsum, the penalties are waived??

My original amount was 25K, but now I owe 110k because of these penalties:

jul 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=36000
aug 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
sep 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
oct 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
nov 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
dec 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
jan 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
feb 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000
mar 2010 Interest/Rep PENALTY=5000

HELB scared the whole hell out of me last sunday. i received their SMS warning that I pay 74500/= now, or they increase it by 5000/= next month. I cleared my balance 3 years ago so u can imagine how shocked i was. However, I personally went to their office on monday and learnt that it was an error, I had cleared and they even accepted to give a refund check of 17k in two wks. just waiting.

Employers can be at fault with the HELB deductions. Some years ago I worked for some parastatal who failed to remit about 14,000 Ksh to HELB. I had assumed that I owed HELB nothing according to my payslip.

In 2008 I was shocked when HELB claimed I owed 50 K. Well this was paid by check off by my new employer in one year. I got back 36K 'overpayment' from HELB into my account in 2009...but am still fighting to get 14k from the parastatal to date!!!

Hey guys,

Finally I cleared with these fellows. I went paid the loan balance plus interest and was asked to write a letter requesting a waiver of penalty. Then at the end of the month I got that SMS sayong sijui I owed them how much. I was shocked! So the next day I went to the offices and got to talk to a Mr Ogolla ( very nice man)and within thirty minutes, I had my clearnace certificate.

Thanks @ Maichblaq et all for guiding me through that process. This is what keeps me logging in.Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause Applause
