Im with the Wp with Ingeus, they are useless. They have managed to reduce unemployment in my area though, because they have quadrupled the number of advisers they employ since they started!

i and 3 of my friends were with this lot, a shambles on a good day.Defined by, if they ever remembered an appointment.

sorry about that posted in the wrong place.

asking for bank details is a no no for them,data protection etc.Tell em to bum off.

my plan is if they ever ask for something they shouldnt to say to them request it in writing.

It is good to read people's stories: I am undergoing WRAG Work Focused Interviews No 2 had and I know they like WRAG's to put into the Work Programme which I have nothing for contempt for-unless otherwise.
It is great to hear of nice Advisors and people who really help.

The Bank Details so they can push you into a job or do it at their end so you walk right in?

they can push you into a job anyway. having the provider hand over your bank details to an employer doesnt make any difference.

The silly thing is i thought that the Work Programme was put in place to help me find work that i can do, now ive told them what kind off jobs i can do thinking when they see them there let me no,i made a new email up for them to mail me the jobs as i will not give them the one i use all the time myself.last week there were 2 jobs where i am and i have the tickets to do them, did i get a email from them telling me no so when i went in there office and after i told them that they can not have my bank details, phone number etc i asked about the job match thing i thought they did and got a reply we dont do that,so i asked how do u help people if u dont match jobs to them and got no reply my adviser is a waste of time no help what so ever.Now im going to spent more time telling them my rights because they dont no what there doing and seems more about them making money than helping.

such a lie from what I have heard about it

It's not work focused at all.

I can't wait to start it - not!!

To be fair to the Work Programme I am on, the job broker is fantastic, just the other day I heard her offering some fortunate soul an amazing opportunity. On a commission only basis, he could call people up all day offering to reclaim PPI for them. Got to admit, I was a tad envious....
