    think thats similar with my CRB as i've had loads of addresses over the past 5 years. I did get told they are snowed under with all the school leavers applying for jobs and needing a CRB. The last one i had took about 3 months but that was last year. Hopefully it won't be long before i can start though .. then i can get the payments back on track!

    Do you want me to PM you the number?

    you shouldn't use it until they have had your application for 6 weeks but then you can call every single week (sometimes twice a week on work's phone btw) and try and get the same person each time. Also, after a certain amount of time of hassling, they will escalate it.

    Anyways - could you not temp until you can start if you can't bring the start date forward? What is the job btw?

    please pm the number if you have it .. that would be a great help.

    the job is a probation service officer, i'll be working with cocaine/heroin users in the police stations .. there shouldn't be any kids involved as its supposed to be only over 18's but that may change

    registered with temping agencies but they are useless round here .. doesn't seem to be much work going on a short temp basis!
