I agree 100% I would definitely not even consider doing one of these at the moment, the economy being the way it is, noone knows whats just around the corner.

That said, and to put RE and their paltry fees into perspective, i've done a couple of credit check ones in the past for other companies and have received £75-£100 in fees per assignment, granted these were quite in-depth and lengthy loan assignments but the fee was most definitely in proportion to what was undertaken.

Anyone even considering doing these had better have a bulletproof credit record and full confidence in their financial future. Credit card and finance companies can, and do, turn people down for credit purely based on the number of searches carried out on their credit file within a 6 month period.

3% have said they would do it for no fee????? :eek::eek::eek:

Seriously I mean why would you choose no fee over a £35 fee. WHY???I've got !!!!!! all on next week apart from one GR job. It's been really quiet for me. I keep missing the jobs as I've been out and about with the baby this week. I may have to see what GAP have to offer (I know, I know!!!!)

i have a tax question please... i just registered myself (and was late so will be fined £10

but if i have made a net loss at the year end do i still pay tax. I revenue officer said that if i registered for small earnings i would not have to pay NI? but if i made a net loss would i still need to pay tax??

i am confused! also, how would you calculate printing expenses... how much per page? secondly, if i travel by tube for the jobs but have a monthly card can i put it as expenses? do i have to show receipts for the expenses?
