    don't you need permission from the top to be posting as a company rep?
    helpful tips
    it's spelt d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y
    there - 'in or at that place'
    their - 'owned by them'
    they're - 'they are'
    it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)
  • As a Ann Summers Manager i can tell you that you have been highly misinformed on this!!!!! Upon signing the girls do sign aLegal Binding Agreement stating that they will pay kit rental each week until they bank €1800(sorry im irish) from sales and then they no longer pay kit rental.

    if they decide to leave the company they must return the original value of the kit to head office and then they are free to leave! they do not have to pay £500 for this kit!!! Unless of course they do not return it!

    i don't agree that the rep take the girls passport as only a photocopy is needed! however as another poster said i doubt your niece was MADE give her passport over!

    Please make sure you know all the facts before slating Ann Summers Reps as those of us make our Money from the parties do not benefit from bad posts like this!

    I think your exclamation-mark key is stuck?

    HTH :)

    Just maybe what the OP has said is true and you can't accept it because of your vested interest.

    My Neice had an ann summers lady visit her as agreed, then the lady took away my Neice passport and bank statement to photocopy. ( was this legal?)

    Did they use brute force and pin her to the ground? I think these thugs need to be taught a lesson and a night in the slammer may make them come to their senses

    (Note if you pm me, I can arrange a venue for a party)

Then my Neice was unsure about being a rep and rang up about geting her passport etc back, but was told she would only get it back when she attended the training day.

    Your niece needs to consider her identity security. What was she doing giving these things away?

    Why do they need the passport anyway?

    They might need to have sight of the passport to ensure you are entitled to work in the UK. But I would never let them take my passport away with them.

    I would have never under any circumstances let them take them away for photocopying.

    Passport and Bank statement....They must have seen you coming(sorry about that last bit)

    Ann Summers reps are self employed so I can't see how it affects the managers.

    So what's the value of the kit then? £500??????????

    You just said they have to return the original value of the kit NOT THE KIT ITSELF so what's the difference between what you posted and what the OP posted. Nothing! In my book anyway.

    Sounds like a mug's game.
