    I applied for one earlier in the year. When i applied, i received a text as soon as i submitted it. Two days later i received another text offering me an amount and how much i needed to repay back each week. The text included a link to click so i coule agree to the amount to pay back. About an hour later i received another text telling me what date the money would be in my bank. In total it took 7 days from applying to having the money in my bank.
    It was about the same length of time when i applied for one previously to that.
    Are you sure you gave the correct mobile phone number when you applied? They can't send the text if you gave the incorrect number.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi thanks for you reply, yes I'm sure I did, maybe I should re send? Or would it be better if I ring them to ask if they received it, thanks again

    I would try and ring them first, if you apply again and there's one already in the system that might confuse things.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
