I didn't have very good A levels either. One very well known recruiter told me I might as well give up because no one would be interested in taking me on! Now 5 years later I'm waiting for my final exam results which could mean I qualify! Forget automatic applications and target companies that accept CV's - but it had better be good / practical and not read like your applying for a PhD!!!
If you have the money, a postgraduate diploma (9 month course) in Actuarial Science would be a very good idea. It's how a lot of mature students manage the career change.
