I've only got the vac holder email address to contact, which I've done a few times and had no response.. :-(


It's a shame there isn't someone who you can actually liaise with. I hope you hear back soon 😊

Fair enough that is definitely long. I also come in from Essex near Ilford and it takes an hour/hour 10. Isn't there any closer offices to you that they can put you in.


Unfortunately not, it's Croydon or Stratford and that's not looking likely anytime soon.

Pants eh?

I called E&C HR on friday as well and spoke with someone that confirmed that once preemployment checks is passed, they already sent lists of success candidates to VHs and specifically confirmed mine as London Croydon. He told me they have been given deadline to finish this campaign 1st quarter and offers will be going out this month for successful candidates.

I do hope that's true for us all. Fed up of waiting now and getting different messages or zero comms

Hey Success,
Would you mind posting the number that you used to call them as I have a few questions and I wouldn't mind talking to someone who seems to have a bit of an idea of what is going on rather than getting the usual generic responses.
Thanks.

I phoned them on Friday too. They said they were in the middle of compiling a list to send to the vacancy holder to arrange start dates. I got the impression she was making anything she could up to get me off the phone though!

I called this number and got through to someone who seemed to want to help. They couldn't tell me anything about my individual situation but regarding the first quarter time frame they did say that they are working to try and get offers out sooner rather than later.

My offer states 'Business: Customer Compliance Group, but further states that...During the 12 week induction and training period a decision will be made as to the area of business you will be placed.
