Anyone else not been paid today???

Options
Just wondered if anyone else was due to be paid today and hasn't?

A few friends of mine have been paid, I'm one of the unlucky ones who yet again hasn't (was nearly a week late last year) really is VERY annoying when they don't get payments to us on the dates they say they will, don't they know many of us have overdrafts that now need clearing.

    Probably an issue with your university not confirming attendance with the SLC
  • You could be right, everyone I know who hasn't been paid is at my uni although some on different courses. In that case I hate my uni as well lol (although I already hated them, this is another thing to add to a long list) :rotfl:

    My son's loan isn't due until the 20th.

  • Mine isn't due til the 4th, but sometimes they take 2-3 days for universities to confirm attendance, at least that's what we got told last year.
    War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
  • We got warned that the first loan payment can be up to a week late because of the university having to confirm attendance. After the first year I went in on the first day they opened in my second and third years to have it sorted in time.
  • I think for all Scottish students, loans and bursarys are due in today.

    Mines appeared in my bank on Saturday though. My bank is open on a Saturday and generally any payments due to go in on a monday are availabile on the saturday :)

    I am loving the new scottish system though were attendance does not need to be confirmed! My timetable this year means i am only in on Thursdays and Fridays, so i didn't have to go in today to get my letter scanned or anything!
  • It must be down to confirmation then, some people on my course have been paid today, others like me haven't. Hopefully it will be there this week, can't stay in my overdraft much longer

  • It's normally down to confirmation, and sometimes certain banks take longer to process too - for some reason, my friends with HSBC accounts always got theirs a day or so earlier than me (a Nationwide account). If other people on your course have got it, and you haven't, you may want to check with your admissions office, to make sure they've confirmed that you're there :)

  • It is the uni, apparently they have a problem with their computers which is why loads of us haven't got our loans and some have (guess those got it before the system messed up)
