How long will it take to hear if I will get my budgeting loan?

You would normally hear with 7 days so really any day now - have to advised them to pay directly into the bank? There are more applications at this time of year, so there could be an extra few days in it. It is worth noting that most people don't collect all that they apply for. You could give them a call to chase on 0844 3302594. Hope this helps.
