    your credit record doesn't show whether a search 'passed' or failed; simply that one was made

    have you considered asking your future employer for an advance on salary?
  • is an advance even possible?

    I mean I would understand if I had been working there for some time and had a crisis, but when I am coming fresh in as a new starter in what is a mentally challenging job I just couldnt see them doing that - and I would feel extremely uncomfortable and cheeky asking them that.

    Is that strrange?

    Would your parents be prepared to apply on your behalf?

    Your problem is that without an employment history and outstanding ccj, nobody is going to be prepared to make you an unsecured loan for any sensible rate of interest.

    Good luck

    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.
  • Thanks for the GL rafter, without going into details let me just assure you that my parents going that is a complete non option!

    I really hope I'm not soundy whiney on here.....but as you can imagine its important to me! I'm going to speak to my temping job and see if I can pull some double shifts or something, or at least weekend overtime.
