Has anyone worked as a Provident Credit Agent?

Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone has done this job, as I'm thinking of doing it.?..I've had the initial interview and been out with someone(not a current agent but a manager who was covering as they are desparate for agents at the moment),just to get a small taste of job-was only with him for hour and half,didn't put me off but most customers not in or didn't answer door(was a time when customers with school children could have been out picking them up),so dont think I got best example,time-wise,plus I think that particular round has been left and has got into a bit of a mess....just wondered if anyone has more info,and if it does actually pay?,and what are the pros and cons?
I can only spare 15 hrs per week,over 3 days,but they said this would be ok.Any info anyone has on this job role would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks;)

  • Contact the Area Manager, who should have conducted your interview - the interview confirmation should give a direct telephone number for your local branch, although honestly really anything in writing where the Provi is concerned is best, I was told it was 2 shadows and felt quite informed up till they co-hurst me into a no ;) (yeah the one that got away but I'd rather that then put myself at risk with incorrect facts!) out of "500 applications per week" that they apparently receive, for what it's worth, whilst I have nothing against the local staff, please, proceed with caution, sorry
