It is a brutal process, and probably of no consolation to you that this is not a uniquely British process but one which would operate in much the same way in most of the western world.
You’re right, of course, that there are always risks in paying up-front. Sometimes (depending on the circumstances) you can mitigate some or all of the risk by paying by credit card: the credit card company then has to repay you.
When I was very young I lost some wages when my employer went bust, eventually receiving about 15% of what I’d earned. So I understand the bitter taste.
