Jobs whilst Bankrupt...

Can anyone recommend jobs that don't require financial checks as a condition of employment - mobile phone shops, call centres, admin in law firms etc all require credit searches.
I handed in my notice for a new job on a slightly higher position. I sent in my CV, interviewed for it and signed the contract. Then on my first day went in and sat through the induction, then filled in the HR forms (this was the first time anything had been mentioned about credit, IVA's Bankruptcy etc) and 30 mins later, the head of HR comes to talk with me as I ticked that I am currently bankrupted and I am informed that I am no longer able to work for the company due to a compliance issue and that I am to leave the office immediately.
The head of HR said as I was honest she is going to pay me for 7 days, and told me to reapply when the bankruptcy is over (July 1st 2014).
Now I'm unemployed and no idea what to do next as I job seekers won't even cover my monthly bills….
Any advice is welcome….

Not all call centres require a credit check - I know people that work for utility companies and telecoms and they have never been checked. Best to ask the question before writing jobs off as unsuitable.0

Which telecom companies don't credit check their staff? I've been told that they all do due to FSA guidelines0

Pop into your local bus company, see if they hire & train drivers?No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......0

I worked for Vodafone in there call centre and was not credit searched I also currently work in a call centre that offer credit to its customers and again not been credit searched.
They do ask however I was taken in through an agency which meant I avoided the same pre employment assessments etc.0
