Extremely dissapointed with the lack of service and communication!

I app**** for a student loan without surety on 17 January, hoping the process would be smooth and efficient. A few days later, on 20 January, I received an email asking for my acceptance letter or proof of registration. Wanting to avoid any delays, I sent my acceptance letter the very next day (21 January). To be extra sure everything was covered, I also sent my proof of registration on 30 January.

Since then, I have heard absolutely nothing. It has been almost two weeks, and despite following all the necessary steps, I still have no idea what’s happening with my application. With university starting in just one week, this delay is causing a lot of unnecessary stress.

I don’t understand why there’s such a lack of communication. If there are issues or further documents needed, why hasn’t anyone reached out? This level of service is unacceptable, and I need clarity on my application as soon as possible.

Reviewer Update
Still No Progress?
More than 24 hours have passed since posting my initial complaint, and besides the Hellopeter team reaching out, absolutely nothing has been done regarding my application or its outcome. There has been no update, no feedback, and no sign of urgency from the people actually handling the loan process.

At this point, the lack of professionalism is beyond frustrating. I have done everything required on my end, yet I’m still left waiting with no clarity on what’s happening. This level of service is completely unacceptable, and the disregard for students who depend on this funding is shocking.

How much longer am I supposed to wait?
