Anyone having trouble with the RE pubs?
For once Dundee has some but all the dates are blanked out for all of them???

Now they've sorted out the dates and someone must have taken about 10 of the Dundee ones!! Very greedy if it is all one person!

It says on mine that they keep your info on file, so presumably you automatically get any previous ones?

Can I do the same one again then. I'm a bit confused as they mention they use different names from your own, wouldn't it look odd that different names keep asking for brochures at the same address?

I can self allocate now, so would they still inform me?

you cant do the same 1 for 12 months. the system wont allow you to apply for 1 if you have already done it

Well, either phone them if you are that bothered, or try it and see. As I recall it's only as cheap job for a few pounds so not much to win or lose either way.

Thanks for your answers.It's not a bad bit of extra cash when you compare it to the pay for jobs when you have to go trawling out to the shops. Mine never arrived last time and the questionnaire is a doddle. These jobs and the phone call ones are handy in the school hols when I don't have childcare. Every little helps.

Hi

I did an assignment for Catalyst on 18th July but still haven't been paid. Do they pay by cheque or BACS?

I did one on 17th July and the cheque has literally just plopped through my door.

They pay at the very end of the month FOLLOWING the month in which you did the job. So you could wait 2 months for payment! I usually try and only work for them at the very end of the month, then I only wait 1 month for payment.

Am so fed up with their only having one client though, and have done the same store so often (Charlton) that I have purchased everything on their list of "non-battery" items!!! Good for putting by for birthday & Xmas presents though!

I'm furious with a supposedly good MS company, their attitude is awful. See below email received today:

[FONT=&quot]Please can you contact me as soon as you can for an update on the above visit? I know you have completed the visit but without the completed report we cannot pay you. Please can you let me know if you are completing the report or if I need to get this reallocated as it is now way overdue.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If I do not have the report or hear from you by 9.00am tomorrow morning (02.09.2010) I will be reallocating this visit and permanently deactivating you from our system.[/FONT]


The report is just about complete and i've had some issues which they know have delayed my completion, I've kept them as upto date as poss without telling them my issues (personal and unexpected). I do not like threats in emails, theres no need and i've replied back telling them so. I hardly get any work from them and dont expect to get any more now.
