Can I ask why Helion deem it necessary to upload a picture and full ID and so much information?

I understand more information can help appropriate assignments being given but that would be age or sex and things of that sort.

I want to shop for Helion but I really don't want to upload my picture and giving a copy of my passport is something I feel uncomfortable doing with my bank

Hi,
Please let me explain.
Unfortunately in this business some people feel the need to lie about who they are, in order to get more work; also some people make more accounts.

So this way we can validate your account against your ID, once this is done by me or a member of my team it is deleted forever, as per European law we cannot store Ids's.

I hope this helps and I understand your worry completely. I can always give you a call if you like to talk to someone on the other side!

Thanks
Max

Hi Max

I suppose my registration with Helion will have to be on hold until I have a form of ID that is not my passport. Please take no offence but I do not send copies of that over the internet by principle.

That's disappointing but I appreciate you explaining it in more detail.

Thank you for your response

Fax it then.

Last time I joined, they had nothing, so I de-registered.

That's a bit short-sighted isn't it, given that they're still a relatively new company?

This could probably do with adding to the first post, given that it's been asked so many times!

For anyone who wants to do more than the 2 jewellery shops allowed on BARE, email the project manager. They had quite a few left so I asked, and I've done a total of 5 now. Woohoo.

Yes I do agree. It's not a good idea to de-register from any companies! Even if you never do work for them, just keep the registration open because you never know what will happen in the future. Also, I believe people like GAP will not let you re-register once you deactivate your account.

Plus companies lose and gain clients all the time so one might not have any work one month, but then loads the next! TNS are a prime example for me. Done one job, not that impressed with them but I'm still registered, I just don't do any jobs. Next month however they may pick up a brilliant project that I want to do loads on!
