    is the busfare £11? jesus!! in my town you can buy a pass for £5 and you can travel about 30 miles on that and use it all day!

    If you can get a lift to work cant they give you a lift on your interview day? even if it means getting there super early and waiting for the lift home?

    Tell them your suit is unsuitable/too small and you need a new one, you have already said they offered you cash for one.

    A crisis loan you have to apply for and it takes awhile to be approved. £11 dosnt sound alot but it is when you have around £24 a week after bills for food etc

    Im sorry if I am wrong but my friend got a crisis loan the other week , and she rang up first thing in the morning and collected the money the next day in the aftrenoon . As it is for emergencies so you need the money fast ?

    What about cash generator or alike as you could take in your telly / stereo / cds etc on a loan : You then get to buy your goods back 28 days later or pay a small fee before the 28 days is up for them to keep them a bit longer before you buy them back ? as I assume you will have a wage before then

    I wasn't tell you to commit fraud, I am trying to help you out with getting to the interview, do you want the interview or not?

    the job centre can pay for you to travel to the interview if you pop into them and fill in the form

    Its fraud and you have to sign a legal paper when you accept the money thats all i was stating. And weird question to ask seems i made the effort to post here asking for help right?

    Is there anything you can stick on ebay? You would be amazed how quickly things can sell!

    Money for clothing at the JCP is usually through vouchers, you will not get the cash. Please do not be tempted to apply for a crisis loan and state it is for other purposes - you'll only end up in trouble!
    Gone ... or have I?
