I had trouble with my application to Student Finance England recently. They didn't do anyting for a few weeks. I gave them a call and they gave me a date for when I'd see an update on the website. Give them a call and ask for an update and explain the situdation, before doing that, you should look at your application and see if there are any actions you need to complete. Hope this helps :smile:

When did you submit your application? You can see current processing times here:

If you think your application is taking longer than it should, log in to your account and use the live chat function to ask for an update on progress. The chat might be open today between 9 am and 4 pm, if not try on Monday.

Thank you for your response!The update should be o 23 of September. Part of my fees should be payed on 31 of October ,hence I am anxious to enroll.But if I don't enroll now, I am also scared that student finnace wales will contact university and see that I am unenrolled .I was told I may not get maintenence loan if it will be the case by finnace department of my uni.
