Me too, and HR are WELL !!!!ed off about this. Seems I'm not the only person who's enquired with them today and they are very much of the opinion that we should NOT be completing our own pre appt checks.... Waiting to hear fro someone what action to take now....

Yeah I was told that, they should contact the address that was provided on the application as it should not be done via email. However, I have tried my best to get the details that they require. But my HR department are a bit confused as to why I would get emailed for the information. Im not sure if they thought my HR department was within my building or what, but its not, its in Liverpool....:(

Keep me updated what happens with you JessStar

Got the call yesterday...i have my start date for north west ....9th july as i have to give 4 weeks notice. it really wasnt an office i wanted as its such a pain to get to and is miles away and parking is around 5 pounds a day..around 15 pounds costs per day. i am sure the staff will be lovely though. however i want to do the job and was wondering if anybody knew if there was a time limit for transferring to other offices when vacancies become available?

congratulations to everyone who has received their offers

Ohh yay NW placements!
Do you mind me asking what score you got? I got 38 for NW and was just wondering where they're up too! If I'm too cheeky for asking - apologies!

Not at all I got 39... but honestly the office couldnt be any further away so those who scored higher will have got their choices i think. well done to them sure you will get your call very soon then

I was told to expect to not receive my choice, and be sent somewhere near Manchester - so we may both be doing killer commutes. Someone mentioned travel advance loans for parking and rail fares etc so that may be a help?
Hope it all works out for you - and well done. :beer:
