Same ED who's hoping to get a laptop is also hoping to get some hefty loans to go with her to university. We're finding the application process a pain in the fluffy knickers - anyone else going through this process and is it driving you clucking mad too?

[Nicola H]

I have just finished my sons application and it took for ever, they seem to want to know every little detail some of which i didn't know, like the address he will be living at.......He hasn't been allocated a room in the halls of res. yet.... ....Good luck..

[laurmurf]

hi Nicola - it was a huge pain, wasn't it?

we got through that process, sent in lots of very imporatant and personal financial information to support the application - as per their required list - and now we've been told we have to send in MORE Some of the stuff they want, we've already sent them!

 

I've tried contacting them by email to find out what's up - but no reply for over a week now

[katieadams]

We've been trying to get the forms done for my husbands fees to come back to us and they've been a mare too - they've been drip feeding us what they need all year now, he's actually finished uni this year and we've still got another id form on it's way

[ubereglu]

Good Luck with all the forms! I remember my parents filling them in for my sisters and brother and it was a pain-I think they were sent back once...just me to sort out in a few years time!

the mistake I made was filling it in, submitting it and THEN finding out that I used the wrong tax year's info. When I tried to correct it online I couldn't, so I rang and found out that once you've submitted, you're sunk. The only way to correct it is to complete a paper application and send it in with a letter asking them to replace the online application.... it was such a flippin' nuisance!

[Nicola H]

I managed to sort my sons out and got a letter today with the offer........Looks like it is going to cost us a small fortune to make up the deficit, it won't even cover the cost of the halls let alone food and books........
