Hi, I know you have to wait 3mth before applying for a personal loan, but could someone explain to me the required length of membership for Orbital Revolving loans and Emergency loans. I've looked all over the site and on the Facebook page, but all to no avail. Thanks for any info and help.
Don't blame me, don't shame me, just because I'm the one to tell you.

I'm guessing those outside the bubble couldn't answer? :chuckle

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Meant to post this ages ago. Just in case anyone is interested, I got an immediate £1000 loan, I didn't need to wait 3 months. Thanks for the replies.

due to a recent bereavement i may be left pretty short for a few months, I'm not too sure how these work,
could i borrow £1000 and have it all like the advert says or will i get 2/3rds and a 1/3 put into savings which i cant touch until the other is paid off? :confused

this is what commsave say " .Under money laundering regulations, we are required to verify the identity and address of all new members before we can accept your application.
To do this we will ask you to send us documents to confirm your identity and address."

That too first thing I did is washed all my money at the local laundry! (They ask for your most recent pay slip)

just a heads up for commsave before the summer loan offer expires
i applied via snail mail, posted the signed docs just before 4pm yesterday and funds now available!
just to clarify as i was unsure at 1st, you apply for the £1k summer loan, pay back £22 p/w for 50 weeks (£1100) and you also must save a further £2 min p/w
i know there can be credit card offers about but if its deducted straight from wages then 2 or 3 hours o/t and you'll hardly notice
