I sent off my application for a budgeting loan 2 weeks ago today and still no reply.
I tried to call them but it is an expensive number to call and I was left forever on hold until my credit ran out.
How long should I have to wait for a reply?
Thank you

I would have thought you would have heard from them within 2 weeks! Leave it a few more days and if you still haven't heard give them a ring.
I suppose it depends on how busy they actually are, usually more so during the xmas period.
When I had one a few yrs back I think the whole process only took about 2 weeks.0 -
i think you can use the phones in the job centre to call social fund for free to see whats happening?Please be nice to all moneysavers!

Things are very different to a few years ago! The wait varies according to area, but my area is currently taking up to thirteen weeks.Gone ... or have I?0 -
Thanks for your replies.
I have to go into town Thursday so if I havent heard anything by then will go into the job centre and give them a ring
