6 weeks. Ouch. I haven't applied since the 1st, I'm waiting until the 5th - giving the 4 days theory a go. I have actually never had the 710 code (it may have shown once) my code is always 656. I am fairly certain the codes are unrelated as I've seen so many different people state different codes - completely different situations and the same code, the same situation and different codes etc. I'm not sure the staff know what the codes are either. I understand why they can't reveal this - it's part of their algorithm and to release that information would open the doors to people manipulating it. However, if they are winding down the program and not offering the loans anymore you would think they would tell people. My personal opinion is that they've deliberately slowed down the system while they have less staff due to covid and they're lending less money (again, due to covid) and so you just have to hope luck is on your side when you apply. My loan is still showing as "open" but paid. I am almost certain I won't get one until this updates (at least on their system) - whether it will show as closed on mine is another matter because I've seen people get approved when theirs was still showing as open. Who knows.
