    It's a legit company offering the work. I've done other assignments for them and been paid. They were just straightforward enquiries in shops with no comeback.

    They may be legitimate but are they ethical considering what they are asking someone to do?

    Legit, but definitely not ethical.

    Would you be interested in their next survey. You have to default on your mortgage for 12 months and then complete a survey on how your repossession went?

    It pays £100 by the way!!!

  • I forgot to feedback my response from the agency.

    When I threatened to report them to the FSA, they contacted one of the Credit Reference Agencies who confirmed that a Payday Loan - even paid back on time - would affect your credit rating. They've withdrawn the assignment on the basis of this.

    Well to be fair, any loan, if reported to a CRA, will affect your credit rating, with that particular CRA. That is the basis of how they operate.....

    Its really nice to see someone take action, and as a result the assisgnement withdrawn, there would be people who think great an easy £50 without taking into account the results and any comebacks etc.

    Your certainly one in a million,
