Career Development Loan

Ahhh, that sucks surely you can ring up Barclays and ask? It's not like youre working for the uni throughout your course, and times like these we NEED jobs in the summer... and we can't exactly be picky about what we get, if you'd known about that rule you probably would've avoided the uni job...


So, me phoning Barclays PCDL yesterday:

Me: I'm just ringing to find out the status of application?
Them: Yes, we recieved it on the 3rd, we're processing your application and you should have a response in the next 7-10 working days.
Me: So there's nothing wrong with it, I'll definately get an answer?
Them: Yes, madam, you will have an answer by then.

Today... guess what comes through the post saying that they can't access my application because they can't find the budget planner? So peeved right now it's unbelievable...

dont bank with co-op. bank with Halifax. sent my application on Monday, called them on Friday. Asked what the status of my application. I was told credit check done, just waiting to to hear back from my uni to check my course is under the ypla( that 4 digit number you type in in application)...

i dont know if everything is done and all.. i just know that they have done my credit check within 5days.. and that's a lot quicker than barclays..

Halifax do a career development loan?

Woop got a letter today from Barclays saying my application has been successful (provisionally).

I rang last week and basically gave the customer service advisor a piece of my mind, told her I was fed up of the way Barclays have treated my and how if I had read the reviews of Barclays online before applying, I never would have sent an application in. She said she'll put me on a priority, don't know if that worked. :s

Just glad the stress of waiting is over.

Your going to get a pack back with three forms.

Two you have to sign and give bank information and send back.

The third is what needs signing by the university, i have sent mine to DMU now to pick up at enrolment.

Once picked up, send it to the bank and then up to 14 days later, you will get your funds.

I got the pack today along with the letter saying I have been successful. Ah thanks for the heads up about the university one, I was going to ring Manchester tomorrow to ask them whether I post them the form or bring it to registration and get it filled in then.

Well I found out that they can't fill the form out until you have enrolled on the course.

A few days of enrolling, they will fill the form out and then all sorted.

Are you happy with your repayment amounts etc? What course are you doing?

I can't wait to start, I start on the 15th September, just been looking at the optional modules I need to select, been making a shortlist.

Got my application of provisional acceptance from barclays now! took exactly 10 days. Im doing my masters in leicester!
