How long can you keep defering your student loans?

I have two from 11 and 12 years ago and keep deferring them every year as my income is below the maximum allowed be fore repayment. I remember something on the original paper work that gave a time limit, something like 25 years, can anyone help clarify this ? Is it possible to go on deferring indefinitely?

    As long as you don't earn over a certain amount you can. Think they get wiped out after twenty five years.

    I am not certain how long you can keep deferring the loan, however I would stress the importance of keeping them informed of every detail or change in circumstance. Failure to do so can lead to the loan being referred to the legal department and you lose your right to defer.

    This happened to me when I didn't inform them PRIOR to a move or within 28 DAYS of residing at my new address. Consequently I still have to repay the amount despite my income being below the threshold and have a lower credit scoring.
