I think Gap is being awkward to me on purpose.

Just did my sandwich shop lunch assignment and went to Express it and it's telling me my shop time-in is invalid.

I visited within the assignment guidelines and am entering it in 24 hour clock.... I don't understand why it's not accepting it?!

Anyone come across this before?

I've had issues with Gap before when it told me 2 answers were incorrect on validation, and both errors appeared to be contradictory, from memory I think I sent them a message and I 'think' they took the details by phone.

I'm going to try doing the report later on this afternoon and if it still doesn't work, I'll have to email them like you said. It's such a pain. I just want to get it done and out of the way!

Just a quick question to anyone who's done a GFK red and black bank and NOT been an account holder there. It says non-account holders can do the assignment too, but you have to have something to do at the counter - e.g. pay in some money or a cheque, change some coins etc. How the heck do you do that when you're not an account holder? Imagine the conversation - "Hello, can I pay in a cheque please...(hands over bank card/paying in book from a rival bank)...no I don't bank with you, but please can I pay it in anyway?!" They'd either think you'd lost the plot, or immediately click on you're a MS! Anyone got any ideas of what could be done instead?

if you know someone else that banks with them, you could pay a sum of money into their account maybe?

Hi all,

I applied with TNS a few days ago, and finished up by sending in my test. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for them to get back to you after this stage?

thanks!

Clmac - I think TNS took about a week with me, they were definitely one of the later ones to get back to me. Good luck!
