Not sure if this is an annoyance or just plain broken, but...

Added to which, Ancient, the old system was not as expensive to the state as the government like to make out. Only students from poorer homes got full grants, the majority got partial grants or no grants at all - but parents were informed of the amount they should contribute (and for which they could claim tax relief). The main problem with the system was there was no way built in of ensuring that parents did, in fact, pay the money they were claiming to have paid! (And since the vast majority of members of the government were probably in the parental contribution category, that may be why they didn't like the system!)
When I was teaching, I used to advise the parents of 7-year-olds to take out endowment polices for their kids, so they'd have something to begin college with!
