Has anyone accepted a catalogue shop job yet? I notice the fee has gone down and I just wondered if it's because there is less to do this month

It's a jewellery counter visit with no purchase. :j


On another note is the catalogue shops cash or vouchers or does it change from month to month?

TIA

Is it for a £xx incentive? If so it's only a jewellery counter visit with no purchase. :j

Thanks - I thought it might be that as I did some of those in December. You might want to edit your post as I don't think we are supposed to mention actual fees on here;)

I've always been paid in cash for these.

Im very new to ms and did one last week for a well known company. I had to take out a loan which was never actually supposed to go into my account. It has however and now there asking me to send them a cheque back for this money which they will send back to my bank. Is this a scam? Has anyone else had this? Can I not just cancel a loan or does the 14 days cooling off period not apply to banks? Any help much appreciated as Im getting worried about the whole thing. I was sent an email originally but I have completed the form on their website.

This sounds REALLY dodgy to me, which company is it for? DO NOT send them a cheque, no MS company I have heard of would ask you to do that!

Seems very odd....I wouldn't send them any money.

You should be able to cancel the loan within 14/28 days and pay it back without incurring interest. Can't see any need for the MS company to intervene.

Which company was it?

I agree with Johnny. That sounds like a scam. No MS company would expect you to apply for a loan and get the money into your bank a/c. The nearest they do is get you to see how they deal with loan enquiries to check how they deal with you etc but they would always tell you to not actually go ahead with it.

Post the name of the MS company on here and we will advise further. At any rate it will help warn others.

Do I need to email my receipt from my stamps job or do they just use the transaction numbers I entered?

Oh well another day of snow (sorry to those who haven't got any!). DD1's school has been closed and she's itching to get out in the snow and play. I rearranged an RE job yesterday to do today but have just e-mailed to explain that it's too dangerous for me to get in the car today. I live rurally and at the top of a hill and don't fancy getting the car out with 2 kids. Hope they understand. Everyone else OK? x

Hiya, I need to postpone a job due today too; it's frozen solid outside. I have a few days left in which to do it. Need to let it thaw.

Had heavy snow yesterday, and the news kept saying more snow was on it's way. Moved todays jobs to Thursday in case I couldn't get out. Woke up this morning and all the snow has gone :rolleyes:

Been poorly and still not feeling 100% so will just stay in and do uni work instead.

Sorry you're not well, Becles. Hope you feel better soon.

All our snow has gone too (I'm a bit further down the road in Teesside). Not fair! Weather forecast still going on about snow but they don't know what they are talking about.
