I was due to start on the 28th.
My photo ID is at the Southend Mail center, but my online status is still 'awaiting further information'
after several phonecalls, I've got through (eventually on this number 01604629381) and they said it's ANOTHER company that doing the 'vetting procedure' and I just have to wait to be contacted by them.
This is getting ridiculous now!

My friend's Dad works there, and she contacted me saying they expected me Monday, so I went up there. They have my ID card, but no records of me anywhere :L

Glad to hear that. I ended up phoning another number, and they said that my name is 'Beckie' on my passport and needed to confirm that was my name :L
I'm now processing my security checks, so fingers crossed I start soon!
