Sfe changing university

Hi I'm going through this now, I originally applied in May but they only told me at the end of June that I filled out the wrong form as I have done one year of uni and then took a year off and am now going to a different uni, I was told to fill out a pn1 which I thought I could do online so I did but then realised it was wrong so I filled out the form and sent it in, now I'm trying to cancel my online form but they are telling me to fill out an CO1 for that but will that cancel the form I have sent in aswell or can I just call them to cancel the online form as it is wrong anyway as it says I'm a returning student even though I am not, or can I just wait till they cancel it anyway which they will as it is wrong, which option will make sure I get my payment in time because I am already so behind because of something that was not my fault
Hi there,

So just to confirm you applied as a returning student but you should have applied as a new student. You then received an email to say you had to complete the paper PN1 form and you have posted that back to Student Finance?

Thanks, Drew

Hi yh i got a letter saying it was wrong and to apply as a new student, and I went online and saw it said start a new application and then I did that but realised then that it was not the right one as it said I was reapplying and I printed it off and then filled it in and sent it in and now I just need to cancel that online one I did
HI there,

Once we process your paper application we will remove the incorrect application at the same time.

So I don't need to do anything to the online one, I should just leave it, I need to upload evidence of my estrangement aswell should I do that now or wait till the online application is closed
Hi there,

No you do not need to do anything in regards to the application on your online account but I would upload the evidence that you have for your estrangement now so that we have it when we process your paper application.

Thanks, Drew

Hi sorry just checking they haven't told me this new application is wrong yet since I applied recently just my original one, but it comes up as if I have reapplied which is wrong of course because I changed my university so do I still just leave it as I have sent in the correct form or should I just call them to let them know I know that it is wrong and I have sent in the right one, sorry about all this I just want to make sure so I don't have to wait even longer, thank you so much
Hi Hunter1251,

All you need to do is to send the correct application form as my colleague advised.

Thanks,
Calum
