    Thanks, I did think that but I can not find a phone number or even an email address for them. Anybody know where I can find this?

    Mine sent me an email when they started their job .. but if you look on the job info page (after you click 'self assign if qualified'), it says: click here to find your contact person ... click there!

    The UK contact email addresses are at the bottom of the page. Different people depending on your region.

    Off out 'shopping' now. Hope that was useful.

    Just want to praise TNS, email query secured a telephone call from them within 2 minutes. Top Marks!

    On a downer, another ticket from RE. 3 apparently unanswered questions. I thought you couldn't submit with unanswered questions and I remember filling these in. What a bunch of w******!

    I had an email off the allocator saying I will be paid this month a day or so ago.

    Plumbers....:(

    Let me know if you get paid yonk. Is anybody else still waiting. I am being totally ignored by the company and don't know what to do next.

    Won't be til the end of the month.

    I think I emailed allsorts of people, including the allocator from the job page...Jen has suggested threatening legal action and I would probably look into a small claim if I don't get paid. It's all online and as there was no problems with the jobs, I doubt they have a leg to stand on. Only difficulty would be they are based in Europe, I suppose.

    Is anyone else's BARE jewellery visit still showing as 0.00 instead of the expense? I'm getting a wee bit scared. I know they have a bad reputation for paying up. I don't want to be out of pocket.

    I've already asked them about this. They said not to worry. I've always been paid without a problem. Fingers crossed for this one!

    Left Kwik Fit as they tried to rip me off. Now getting mobile Co. to replace it. Its a Merc and husband bought it for me (2nd hand - 6 yrs old) but he wants me to get Continental tyres as apparently they're the best almost affordable. Says he will pay for it as I was nearly crying down the phone. And I'm blonde too and have found crying and acting (or not acting) really dumb has worked a treat for me today. Must get postman a really nice bottle of red. :)

    Darl you know my husband works for said(mercedes) company right..... tyres aren't that much!!! go to ATS.

    Surely you mean all four in just over 4 seconds.

    I saw it done many times on Sunday.
