    How long did it take everyone to get their loans?
    hia,

    I'm just worrying about getting my loan through in sept, I've had all my confirmation through from SFE and a breakdown of payments, my concern now is how long from when I start (10th Sept) will it take realistically to get the money in my bank? I know they say 3-4 days but I have seen alot of complaints from people saying months?

    I had mine come through (on all three occasions that I have received it) within the three to four days after you register at uni that they state.

    There were some major problems a few years ago which were widely reported at the time, although these have largely been resolved since. I believe, however, that there have been some problems with DSA since.

    SFE is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, however, when it comes to dealing with evidence that you have to send in.
