Recruitment Agency + Job Interview = What to do?
I applied for this job I saw on Reed.co.uk on Friday - http://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/technology-whiz/23036342
I did it on a whim, as I'm finding it difficult to get a job, and it's sort of up my street but not completely in the area I wanted to go into.
Anyway, the recruitment company Quality Personnel phoned me an hour later, and offered me an interview tomorrow (Monday) afternoon.
They then sent me a email with details on what to bring etc and they want my passport, NI number, bank details, list of references dating back two years, and a list of a minimum of five companies I would like to work for, or would like them to approach on my behalf.
The appointment is scheduled to last 1 1/2 hours, and I've got to pay for parking too.
Now, I've heard so many bad things about agencies, and I'm slightly worried about them wanting my bank details, that I don't know what to do tomorrow, whether I should still go or not. The office isn't local either - it's about 45 mins drive from where I live.
Any advice would be appreciated!

They are recruitment consultants. They recruit through Reed.
Don't see any problem with attending an interview, can't do any harm.
I would go, they may not have a job right now but in the future they might and you'd be first on the list as you've already been vetted.
