Fix common document issues

The quickest fix for consent links, signature links and file uploads that are not behaving.

Consent and signature links

Problem

What to do

It never arrived

Open the application and check the mobile number and email address on the customer's record, digit by digit. Correct anything wrong, save, then send the document again

It arrived but hasn't been opened

Where it goes by SMS it sends from a standard number rather than a Financeable sender ID, so it looks like spam. Ring the customer, tell them to expect a message from an unknown number, and ask them to check junk, spam and filtered messages

They opened it but it won't submit

Ask them to close the link and open it again in a different browser. If they're on a phone, ask them to try a laptop

They signed it but it isn't showing

Refresh the application. Signed documents can take a moment to attach. If it's still missing after a second refresh, contact Support

The link has expired

Send it again from the application. The new link replaces the old one

Uploads

Problem

What to do

Upload Document does nothing

The document name is too short. Enter a name of at least three characters in the field first, then the button works

It fails partway through

The file is too large or the format isn't supported. Save it as a PDF and try again. For a photo, reduce the resolution first

It uploaded but isn't in the list

Refresh the application. If it's still not there, upload it again - a half-finished upload leaves nothing behind

You uploaded the wrong file

Find it in the Other Documents list and select Delete on that row, then upload the correct one

You can't delete a bank statement file

Statement data pulled through the statement service can't be deleted, for compliance reasons. The file can go; the underlying data stays

For a template that generates the wrong document, see Fix common template issues.

Before you contact Support

Work through the tables above first. Most of these are fixed in under a minute, and Support will ask you whether you've tried them.

Contact Support when:

  • A link won't send at all, from any application, not just this one

  • A signed document never attaches, after two refreshes and a resend

  • You need a document removed that you can't delete yourself

Include the application ID, what you were doing, what happened and a screenshot - Get help and support
