in Loans
Applied for tesco loan to which i have been agreed in principle, i know this does not confirm anything till documents sent in etc but the process seems to be taking its time!!! been waiting 5 days for the letter to arrive so i can then post my documents of.

has anyone experienced anything like this with tesco loans and how long till they made the actual decision? from looking at reviews it does look like im not the only one

thanks in advance!!:o
