    NatWest charge £7 a time on top of exchange rate, so I think I'm going to open a new bank account elsewhere. (I don't want to use my Barclays account)

    Yeah like essjaytee says, the process is automatic, its just down to your bank what rate you get and any charges. Really they shouldn't be charging as we are in the EU, but lots still do.

    It seems a good time to be paid in euros, for the majority of my time I was being paid at 0.75 ish, this last one went in at 0.84 so basically a 10% increase.
  • So yesterday, I received a rejection email, two hours after saying they would send me the links (today) to the test.

    Today i havent received anything

    Should i now assume I've been rejected? Very strange behaviour. Have emailed them but no reply.

    Dont see what I've done wrong? not broke any of their agreements. Should i now assume this ones dead or do u usually get your links later in the day? They did say 9am

    Do you mean you have been sent a test failure mail when you hadn't even submitted the exam? (Thats what happened to me and some others previously)

  • No i got sent a complete rejection, you know thanks but no thanks.

    two hours after saying i could take the exam.

    So confused, emailed them no reply, nothing to my email with links so i must assume somehow, they dont want me

    Strange

    That's what I mean't...I received the full rejection mail when I hadn't submitted the exam at that point. They are having glitchy problems, so keep trying to contact them, in case it's another error.

    They are moving from an old system to a new one, might be the problem.

    Having asked LB if it was okay to work for BH while under contract they were fne about it so bit surprised they said no to leapforce!

    Referring back to my previous post where I asked if I could work for LB and other similar companies at the same time, I mailed LB for absolute clarification on this, as there were differing views on here from raters.

    The LB response was: Unfortunately we do not permit Raters to work on similar programs as this would cause a Conflict of Interest between the roles.

    I thought others should know, in case like me, they were interested in multi agency work.
    You can definitely only work for one or t'other only, which seems fair enough :)

    Well ive emailed them through the contact us link on the website Wednesday and Thursday, and they haven't got back to me either time. How long do they generally take to answer emails? Is this the best way of contacting them can't see they have a direct email address?


    I must just assume they aren't going to follow up. Bit confusing all round to be honest :(
