    only job i was ever any good at was a model, things have gone south after having kids so cant get job back until I emprove things! Its real good money and will get us off benefits completely and might even mean my partner not having to work if i get my job back. I badly need my job back to ensure kids have a decent life!

    Seriously?

    Is the money guaranteed? If not, get another job and save up what you need. You might also find that you're good at more than one thing while you do it.

    And yes, it might mean this and it might mean that. It might also mean £7k of debt with no employment to show for it.

    How very sad. OP, forget it. Go to college, get some real qualifications and look to improve your mind rather than your body.

    And your wanting a loan based on what they have said ? What if they turn round and dont end up employing you and you now have a debt of £5k to £7.5k that needs paying.

    DCFC is right ~ worst case scenario, but still a frightening prospect.

    Have they guaranteed you a job? Your post suggests they will 'consider' taking you back once whatever these mealy minded fops believe needs 'fixing' has been hoisted back up.

    Would they not finance it? They could deduct the loan from your wages.

    OP have you thought of the worst case scenario if they dont employ you when they say the will ? What if you get the work done and it isn't any better than some of the other candidates ? In both examples your lumbered with alot of debt for someone on benefits.

    OP if you do get a loan from a bank please name them so that I never buy shares in that company again.

    Thanks

    I asked this question because I needed an answer due to me knowing nothing nothing about loans. So god-forbid anyone ask anything because of all the hurtful, pathetic people out there that might laugh at them!
    And god-forbid anyone to try and get jobs and improve their lives because someone is bound to make a mockery of it!

    I've actually just talked to my previous employer over the phone to ask if she'd defo give me my job back after and she's agreed to loan me the money and cut my pay for a few years until its repayed! Which is a much better option for us as even with the cut she proposed will still leave us better off than we are on benefits!

    I am just disgusted that there are such people that would laugh and judge someone thats just trying to get off the govements pathetic hand-outs and stop taking tax-payers money!
    So I'm sorry if you think that I'm a joke for asking and for trying, but at least I didnt just expect tax payers to pay for me and my kids for the rest of our lives!!! Will nothing make you people happy!? If I'm on benefits, then I'm a scrugger, and if I try and pay my own way in this world then I'm made fun of! It's pathetic that most of the above comments have just to tell me I'm stupid!
    But to be honest, it's not brains I need is it? So what if I'm very stupid and I dont know much about anything? Quite frankly, I can get payed an amazing amount of money by simply standing around in some nice clothes, so what do I need to be clever for? I really don't mind what you think. But I did in fact leave school wih the highest of grades so no improvment to my mind needed thank you! =P

    My problem has been solved, and thanks anyway, but next time you might want to try being a decent human being to the next person you encounter...

    But a serious thanks to the people that did actually try to help! And happy to say you encouraged me to pick up the phone and ask! =D
