Avon Hints and Tips (Part 4)

hayston

Hi,
Wonder if someone can advise.
I wanted to start with Avon to up my income. I have a dmp with cccs and wondered if you are credit checked as part of the registration process.
I would hate to waste the Area managers time if this is the case.
Thanks

Thank you soooooooooooo much ladies.

It is a similiar job as I used to do, so am already kind of semi trained - obviously need to learn the job properly but I won't need as much telling of what the standards are re auditing as I already know about them.

Hi Hayston

You are credit checked but I am not sure if this will affect your credit score.

Why don't you contact Avon and ask them?

omg!!! Haven't got time for smileys. Got the job, childminder has agreed to take DS for 3 days! Now need to go and buy some work clothes! I have none!!! And had mystery shops booked, need to see if I can rearrange.

Am going to miss seeing my little boy everyday but will make the 4 days I have with him so worth it!!!

And at least I have a guaranteed, if little salary coming in!

CONGRATULATIONS :j

That is excellent news and you must feel like a huge weight has been lifted. I'm really pleased for you xx

Congratulations, aureol; really pleased for you. Good luck with everything. Sorry, can't help re. the SSS again - only had one bottle.

Hi Hayston,

Could be wrong but I think when you apply to Avon you are awarded 'points' based on your answers to the questions on the application form i.e. if you have a bank account, credit card, catalogue account they're all seen as positives (presumably, also if you're a home-owner and been at your current address for a few years). Provided you reach a certain points level then you're approved; if you don't then they do an actual credit check, which presumably then shows up on your credit footprint.

Don't worry about wasting your AM's time (although a lot of people agree that you'd be better signing up with an SL rather than an ASM) - if you want to do Avon then your upliner will do everything they can to help you.

PS: No idea what a dmp is or a ccc - is the latter like a ccj?

Hi MarsdenCuckoo,
Thanks for your reply. A dmp is a debt management plan. I got behind with some payments to my creditors because of a huge reduction in income. CCCS is the consumer credit counselling service - a charity which has helped organise the dmp.

Hello - I was worried about my credit rating aswell but I spoke to the ASM about it and she told me that owning my own home, having a bank account, having CC's, being married etc all mean't that I should have no problems. Still waiting for confirmation but I had a welcome to Avon email today so fingers crossed.

Did my 1st catalogue drop yesterday in my road and am collecting them in on Friday. Already got £58 worth of orders from friends so hopefully won't have a problem getting MOV .
