Advances applied for over the weekend usually take a couple of days to come through. Always a possibility it will be there today but it’s not guaranteed.0

RS21 said:Hi guys .
I applied for an advance on Saturday 26th September not expecting anything . And got an immediate response with a fairly generous amount. I said I have an interview needing to buy a new suit and get the bus out of town for this, Also need food and utilities. This seemed to work however I have not received the advance yet , I'm hoping it will be in my ACC this morning. Had anyone else applied for a advance and waited several days for it to go into your bank acc?
Thanks guys good luck with the corruptsStarting your own thread would have been better, rather than asking on the end of someone else's thread that's a year old.Advance payments are made through BACS payments, which taken 3-5 working days from the time they sent. It's unlikely you will received it today.0
