Did you apply to SFW or SFE? If you log in to your account, do you have an option to change start dates? If not, you need to call to get this changed.

Going forward, you need to take control of your own finances so try not to rely on family members doing things for you. Have you checked that all the other details in your application are correct - most importantly the bank account details that your money will be paid in to?

I'm moving your thread to the Ask SFE forum so that an offical rep will be able to help you. :smile:
