    Student finance help
    I'm applying for Student Finance, as the title suggests but I keep getting an error message when I click 'save and continue' after filling in the About You section.

    I've rang them up and they told me that they would report the error to the I.T team and to wait 24 hours before logging in. So I did but I'm still getting it.

    As you will probably be aware the deadline is tomorrow and I'm getting worried now.

    Is anyone else getting this? How can I apply?

    Thanks in advance.

    I got the same message.
    was really happy to get it sent off just in time.

    I rang them up, and the man said its not allowing you to do it sometimes it doesnt let it do so you will have to do it by paper. So I asked for him to send me the paper forms.

    but I asked if it works then should I submit he said yes. so mine wont be done by the deadline because the man said he will be sending the form tomorrow morning!

    And as usual with Directgov or student finance, their website continently crashes the day of the deadline due to 'technical problems'

    I haven't applied because of the error. Thanks SF, you never cease to let me down with your rubbishness.

    In all seriousness though, what is my next step? Paper application? Or is that too late? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

    they told me, i had to apply via the paper application.
    I could just copy and paste what I written on the online form into the paper application and print it and send by post.

    I was like the deadline is tomorrow (rang on wednesday) he was like well it wont make too much of a difference the mans like it shouldnt really matter. So im guessing its still not too late.
