Legal services through Meridian
Dave Ananth advises New Zealand and overseas-based borrowers on student-loan obligations and engagement with Inland Revenue. Formal legal services are provided through Meridian Partners.
Scope of work
- Reviewing repayment obligations and the information held by Inland Revenue
- Considering repayment proposals in light of income and circumstances
- Representing borrowers in communications and negotiations with Inland Revenue
- Advising on enforcement and travel-related concerns
- Seeking remission or relief where proper statutory grounds exist
Relief is not guaranteed
Whether any remission or relief is available depends on the applicable law and the facts of the matter. Interest or penalties will not necessarily be reduced. Final decisions remain with Inland Revenue or the courts. We do not guarantee debt reductions, clearance to travel or a particular timeframe.

DaveTax is Dave’s principal specialist student-loan publication and media platform. Meridian’s complete archive retains summaries and source links to that commentary, alongside the firm’s wider legal writing.
