Have your DC received theirs yet? DD says there's some national issue holding them up?

Yes, DD had hers a week ago

LucyLastik · 05/10/2022 22:05

Dds was almost a week late

Yes it arrived on the day it was due.

The university needs to confirm they are attending. My DD hasn't had hers yet, she's been there since 25/9 though her lectures only began on Monday. Apparently some universities are quite slow to do this.
My daughter's payment was due 26/9 which then showed "cancelled" then 30/9. I haven't checked the SF account in a couple of days but I expect that will also say "cancelled" and there'll be a new date.
If it's urgently needed for accommodation, they could start pushing the uni office to do the confirmation.

DS hasn't had his yet. Apparently the university hadn't registered him on the course with student finance. That's done now but his nationality is missing from the record, so now he's waiting for the university to update that.

From my googling, it seems this is what's caused the delay for lots of people.

Ds started his second year on Monday and had it come through Wednesday.

Just checked DD's account and hers is showing as having been paid. On Monday when last checked, it hadn't.

Thanks all DD got a text it's arriving tomorrow. It's a good job we pay her rent otherwise what would she be supposed to do!
