How long do Santander take to clear loan?

All,

GF and I have got a loan last week for our new car. I sent the application off on Monday, so would have arrived Tuesday and upto now still no money.

However I received another letter saying 'Please see further documents enclosed as requested' was the same documents but I realised only 2 of 5 pages had been returned originally - so I sent all 5 off yesterday and should have arrived today.

From experience, anyone had issues getting money? And how long does it take? I got car at garage awaiting collection.

    So - has the loan application been approved or have you just applied?

    It's approved, got all the confirmation and so on.

    Any competent organisation should do so within 5-7 working days - sorry did you say Santander?

    Lol, I guess they aren't the best?

    I'm just a bit worried something will go belly up.
