Anyone Still Waiting for their loan?

  • I eventually got my loan approved today. I suspect it's due to me calling at least three times a week for the last month, plus my uni chasing them up. Thankfully I had my overdraft to use, plus money from my Mum. I don't know what I would have done if I had no other means of support.

    Hello,
    I am very keen to hear from you if you applied on time for a loan and still have not received your money. Please contact me at [EMAIL="jessica.shepherd@guardian.co.uk"]jessica.shepherd@guardian.co.uk[/EMAIL] This can be in the strictest confidence if you wish.
    Many thanks and hoping to hear from you today - 6 November -, if possible.

    Hiya, I called you this afternoon and left a message and stupidly forgot to leave my number :o

    It appears my SU are interested in this issue too so I've contacted them and also let them know about you without giving any of your details.

    Thanks

    Hi flake,
    tell your uni you have been approved for LEA support but are waiting for the letter -they should wait for your fees as the SLC don't pay the first installment til Jan anyway.
