Events and timelines of a HMRC self-assessment student loan overpayment

The request was successful.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

In an event when through the filing of a self assessment return, a student loan repayment is made, but the repayment is larger than that of the current balance (the payment required is calculated by HMRC tools, as opposed to known loan balance):

1. Is HMRC responsible for processing the partial refund?

2. If (1) is true, what is the maximum timeframe for the partial refund to be calculated and issued (how long will it take)?

3. If (1) is true, what method is used for the partial refund (refund to payment method; cheque in post etc).

Yours faithfully,
Mr Samuel

HM Revenue and Customs
