    RBS Basic credit check

    OP. As long as you answered the questions on the TPI form honestly, and of course have no CCJ's, tax evasion record or pending action by creditors all should be good.

    Bummed by the Banks

    That's in pilot and is full (bummer). I use a Caxton FX Visa, easy to use, nice little app that allows instant load from a registered Debit card, no charges at the ATM in euroland. got a holiday coming up at the end of June so i'm holding off the load to see what happens with the Grexit

    Has contracting made you lose perspective on money?

    I feel incredibly lucky. When I look back at what I used to do, 12 hour shifts (days and nights). Working Bank Holidays, Christmas and New Year as part of that pattern and taking home in a year less than I invoice for 8 weeks. Contracting has enabled me to buy a very nice house, drive a very...

    Getting a contract in the banking world

    But most Banks don't actually develop that stuff themselves. The user interface and back end guts are taken care of by M Commerce vendors (and there's not many of them around). One in particular (the largest) I'm thinking of certainly won't pay 4 to 500 a day for app work

    I am the interview pro

    Agents lie!!??? Blimey. Back to the OP. That's because in your head you ask yourself the right questions when you're at home. When sitting in front of someone else they seldom follow the same script. It happens, I would suspect we've all come away from a meeting thinking "Bugger, I should have...

    PAYE Payment overdue letter from HMRC
