few years ago had this very problem - I was away from my postal address for several months at a time - missed the cut off for deferment - only relised when money went out of my bank account!
However, one quick phone call to the SLC to explain the situation and they halted the collection of money and eventually even put the collected amount back into my account when I had got my deferment sorted out.
Mind you still defering my payments and at this rate I think I may reach the 25 year cut off before I earn enough to pay it back (only 13 more years to go!!)
Also have a collegue who had his pay slips rejected by the SLC 'cos they were all covered in mud!!!
