Centrelink Loan?

[Cupcake]

So DP just called and the place he works is closing for 2 weeks for renos (great timing on his boss' part...Christmas woo!! ) so thats 2 weeks of wages we wont get (DP is casual) and i was just thinking and im pretty sure someone has mentioned in the past something like a loan you can get from clink of $500 or something then you pay it back through your payments...is this real or did i make it up with wishful thinking? Lol

Any info anyone has would be great, thanks!

it used to be $500 but now its based on how much ur payments are, i ithink mine was about 350ish. u can do it online if u have online services

[Cupcake]

Awesome, thanks hun. Do you just pay it back weekly or how does it work do you know?

[Enchanted]

They automatically take a certain amount out of your payments each fortnight

[Cupcake]

So with the online services is it 'Apply for an advance payment'?

[skybie]

yep thats it! its not very much a fortnight to pay back either

[Cupcake]

Oh nevermind, i can apply for an advanced payment of $107 lol. That wont help me a whole lot

Thanks ladies x
