Were there any problems like this when LEAs did it?

i thought this would happen! Because so many of us had issues last year, i think we have all got our apps in ASAP so they are already behind... when the ppl gong to uni this time start to apply for finance i fear meltdown..

My form for this coming year was done on the 1st possible day and my declaration went back within 30 mins of landing on my doorstep (special delivery as always!) - i can only urge anyone who hasnt got it sorted to do it NOW

My son applied for his loan last year and we sent out all the required information including my P60's. Everything was sorted and he recieved his loan but now they are asking for all the evidence again due to an audit. We have sent the photocopies that they asked for and now they have decided they can't accept my P60 because it is a handwritten one-on a proper form but filled in by hand.

I have got to chase my employer that I now work very little for, to fill in forms or write me a letter instead. Had they refused my P60 when we first applied it would have been a lot easier to have got the other evidence they ask for. I received a letter today, 19th March and they want it back by the 31st. My employer isn't the most organised person in the world and it usually takes a week or more just to get a payslip. My son is getting understandably worried now it is going to affect his loan next term.

We have sent off all the applications for his loan for next year and am now having to deal with last years as well, sending off details they have already had and I understood had accepted. If they are redoing applications they had supposedly already sorted it doesn't bode well for the new lot of applications for next year.

I applied for my loan with plenty of time to spare before I started uni last October, and it was still the end of November before I saw any money - not before I got to within £5 of my overdraft limit! Thankfully all payments since then have been on time, and I've been fine financially.

I applied online for the documents for my folks to fill in as soon as online applications were open, and I have been reminding them to fill the forms in for weeks now, and they keep putting it off :mad: I shall be ever so angry if there are the same delays for the next academic year, not just from SFE but my own folks! :mad:
