MYSTERY SHOPPING THREAD 17 - please don't mention client names or fees on here!!

Does anyone have any tips for me please - if you're willing to share? Have just started MS for this site and I've had a couple of surveys returned for minor things. I feel I am floundering before I've already begun, but I can find no advice on the actual site as to how to complete the surveys, etc. If anyone's willing to advise, please PM me. Many thanks xx

I read it and thought pretty much what you guys are saying. I had one missed direct debit years ago and that nearly stopped me getting a mortgage and as I have a lot of credit/mortgage/finance stuff going on due to my circumstances, I wouldn't take the chance of messing my credit rating up.

I did the recent GR bank and the manager there was saying people are getting turned down for the smallest reasons, this is really very bad.

I just hope people realise in advance how crucial your credit rating is, I don't care if they can wipe it, I wouldn't trust them and no bank will believe it was a fake non-payment.

Hi everyone, I havent been on here for a while but need a quick bit of advice. I'm due to do a MS today for GR and just got in my car to go and it wont start. I cant walk to bus stop (pregnant and have SPD) so am going to have to cancel.
Are they likely to tell me they dont need me anymore if I cancel one? Never cancelled before

I'm genuinely worried that somewhere, some naive newbie MSer who doesn't use this forum is thinking 'ooh, that's a higher fee than RE, I'll do that ...'. Just appalling.

GR are very, very good. give them a call and (if poss) say you are happy for it to be rescheduled if not say you need to cancel

They may offer you an extension. I've only done 36 assignments for them and during that time I've had to cancel one. I still get offered assignments. Just give them a call and explain. They are really nice.

Don't cancel, call them and explain the circumstances. You may be able to re arrange.

Thanks everyone, I phoned them and they were great, rescheduled it and offered me more assignments while I was on the phone. Happy with that
Thanks again!

Ok I called JKS to discuss this and the advisor I was speaking to hung up on me! I'm going to report this to the FSA as I dont think the payday lender or JKS are complying with the relevant legislation.

And yes, I meant to included the client name and I've asked to take me off of their client roster. This has made me feel queasy. My day job involves trying to promote financial inclusion and JKS are flying in the face of everything thats bad about this industry.

Poor show JKS, and hanging up the phone on someone with a valid concern. Disgusting.

Thank you for naming the company.

I've never registered to work for them, and certainly wont be now.
