    Just had a half hour phone call with ESA going through a blow by blow account of a dreadful travel agents visit from a while ago. I hate it when the staff query what I say, makes me feel like a liar even though I know I'm not.

    This was one of the worst visits that I've done, the staff were verging on rude and quite aggressive initially but they've said that I wasn't interested and wouldn't look at their screens, as well as contradicting half my report. Not nice, leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

    From Alerts thread, consecutive posts, over 12 hours apart:





    PLEASE check that an alert has not already been posted . Lots of us get email notifications when the thread is updated and it's very annoying to log in to find a duplicate post. Especially this near Xmas when I'm busy getting things ready for the big day and don't really have time to be on here.

    Don't be so miserable - it's Xmas :beer:

    People are only trying to help each other and lets be honest it does not happen that often but I think the fact 3000+ were showing people got excited :rotfl:.

    Yeah, but it's not the first time this has happened, and it does get annoying to log in to find a duplicated alert...and this one was over 12 hours apart.

    It doesn't take too much skill to check previous alerts to make sure the one you are putting on has not already been posted does it...?

  • Hi All,

    Was just wondering if anyone has had any money from Bare in? I am waiting payment on my first 2 jobs for them but still no sign :confused: I have entered my bank details, Swift Code and IBAN all in the extended profile section but is there something I have maybe missed?

    Thanks

    Hi All & Merry Xmas!! :santa2:
    Sorry to re-post this but can anyone help? I am waiting on nearly £30 and don't want it being delayed just because of something I haven't done!

    Thanks :D
    2019 will be my year!!

    Just got my second payment from BARE. I was wondering why I'd only been paid for one of the two jobs I did and a letter just popped through the door from Alliance and Leicester telling me that they've taken £10 for the privilege of using their bank. W*nkers. I suppose I should be lucky that they didn't take £10 for the last payment as well. Best change it to Halifax for next time!

    Yeh I wouldn't mind a small percentage, but that was over a third of the payment that they took for their "low fixed fee".

    I've just done my last jobs for 2009, couple of reports to fill in and I'm gunna update my spreadsheet between xmas and new year.
