When I rang RBS, they said that I didn't score high enough...which I already knew. I said why, and they said that it was because i had applied for the full loan of 8K, and apparently if you are in work you can only apply for 80% of the loan, also it said there was no evidence of how i was going to fund the rest of the course and finally, my father sent in a letter explaining that should there be any problems that he can provide security.
So may be they thought that well why isn't he funding the training then, he does bank with RBS and they said that he didn't provide any evidence on his bank accounts etc, he says he did.
So there you go, i'll let you know how Barclays goes as i have changed a few things upon applying.
