If that is GR then I submitted a report last week which was a nightmare and I had alot to try and explain. I ended up having to do txt spk and not in proper sentences, I was expecting a query on it (I had written up the full report in word before trying to reduce it so I was ready for them). The report has gone for payment so I assume they must have accepted it which really does surprise me.

It was GfK - don't know how much detail they expected. Annoying really as I wasn't approached in any of the departments I visited so had to wait the 5 minutes then go and find someone. Plus 2 assistants talked over me whilst they were doing a quote but I could hardly write anything about it.

oooooooooooooooooooooo me too!

I actually asked about it yesterday and was told it was only for people who had done lots of jobs for them. 15 in 2 weeks obviously counts :j

Think that should read 'If only there were some jobs anywhere!' :rotfl:

ESA Self allocation

:eek::eek:......WOW, I'll be on the bl''#,y phone to them first thing tomorrow......

I do on average 60-90 jobs a month for ESA and have done for over a year. I even have a tax code with them now and I get my tax deducted and NIC (without losing my self employed status) because they have a threshold with HMRC. It causes a right headache when I do my books etc.

I was told they are still tweaking the self allocation and that was only last Friday :mad: :mad:

I'll let you know what they say to me, talk about taking the biscuit, lol

Can anyone advise please?

Did my first jobs for Retail Active yesterday. No place on their site for bank details other than Paypal. I am aware that you have to send invoice. Do they send something for you to return or do I "create" something? Should this be per job or a week's/month's worth of jobs?

Thanks in advance.

Will send you a pm with the invoice link as not sure if I am allowed to post it on here, if you haven't had the info already......

Got my self-allocation email too and i've only done about 5 jobs for them :huh:

Scotties_Mum

Got mine today too, and my surname is a 'C'.

I have done a lot of jobs for ESA and regularly get called on for others.

MrShopper, good luck with your call, I only do perhaps a quarter of the work you do with them each month, and if I hadn't got the email I would be fuming.
