If anyone can help me on these 2 questions, I'd be massively grateful:
1) How long did it take some of you to get accepted on the Barclays PCDL? I've only just applied (just under 3 months until my course starts) and don't know if I've left it too late?
2) I do online banking with Halifax and don't get paper documents. It wasn't until I sent off my Barclays application that I realised that the online documents that I printed out hadn't been certfied (so I know I'm expacting it back any day now). How do I go about getting something printed and certified by Barclays? Will they accept my online printouts? I did get a printout from Halifax and had the Halifax team certify it, but I'll be honest, it doesn't exactly look professional... and then walked into Barclays to ask them and the woman there was ridiculously unhelpful: She kept telling me that I needed professional documents (which I told her I couldn't get because I do online banking), and to send the shabby looking statements that Halifax printed off because "another bank certified them so they might be alright". I'm not sure I have the time for it to might be alright! :s
My only other alternative is to pay Halifax a fee to get the real things printed off and sent to me, but they've said that could take a good week to get to me, and I'm not sure I can spare that time... So, can I get my online printouts certified, will the Halifax-certified printouts be ok or will I have to fork out and wait for the proper Halifax documents?
I'm against the clock and starting to get really bloody worried about it all... Please help!
