    Student finance site not working !!!!
    I havn't completed the application for my student finance yet, as i needed to find my passport number!
    For the last few days the website is down when i click 'resume application'. It just gives me this error...

    An error has occurred while processing your request. This has been automatically reported to the system administrator, who will investigate and address the problem. Please wait for 24 hours and then re-try your request.

    I'm going on holiday tomorrow for a week and I'm going to miss the deadline!
    Anyone have any ideas or share the same problem!

    I had the same problems pretty much with the site, I just printed off a hard copy of the application form, which is on the website somewhere, and sent that off...

    the deadline is 9 months into your uni, unless you want your first payment on the start of your course. thats what it said on the website.

    Ok now I know people have said student finance is working for them now but for a long time now I've been getting this

    404 Page Error - Not found
    We're sorry - we can't find the page you're looking for.

    What could have caused this?
    We might have removed the page or it might be temporarily offline due to maintenance.
    Or the link you clicked might be old and not in use anymore.
    Or you might have accidentally typed the wrong URL in the address bar.


    What you can do
    You can try retyping the URL.
    Or we could take you back to the homepage.
    Or you could use the sitemap to find what you're looking for.

    Now I've done everything I've needed to do but I've got my results for my course yesterday and I wanted to check if there was anything i needed to do now even ucas is down for the day. So does anyone know if there is anything I needed to do now considering nothing seems to be working or if anyone is having this problem
