    Well no payment from them - am now wondering if I did give them my bank details. Will get in touch with them and find out.

    My RE payment came today though :-)

    Login to their Prophet system, you can find your bank details in the profile their somewhere.

    :cool:I

    I did some work for them earlier this month and was getting worried when I saw about submitting an invoice. Emailed one of rhe people there who said as long as they had my bank details I should get paid at the end of rhe month (ie tomorrow). Am hoping my payment will be there tonorrow.

    Be aware that on your bank statement they may not appear as "Retail Active". If I recall correctly it turns up under "Sequential Solutions".

    Ah replied to your other post, but you get the idea!

    have to admit i am doing some as need the cash!

    totally agree with comments re the ethics of the company though as they seem to make a big deal out of being fair to everyone, not misleading anyone etc... (you should read some of the stuff they admit to on their food labels that they dont actually need to put on there)

    did the bank job today and got given a leaflet. i read the leaflet as i am thinking of switching my account anyway and they had a whole page on the ethics of the co!

    To be totally honest, I have to say that my perceptions of this company have gone downhill due to their association with ESA. Their MS programme was becomming a joke (certainly for the grocery arm) even before this new malarky and for a company like this to chose an ms company with such a blase attitute towards any concerns shoppers have just doesn't seem like a good fit.

    I know it's been asked before, but how hard are the BARE car circuits for a novice? They're desperate in my area, and I'm effectively free all weekend, so would a circuit of 5 be possible? Are the questionnaires difficult? I'm just aware that for the fee I would normally expect to dedicate a lot of time to it.

    They are an easy job.Just do a bit of reading on the models before you go in.

    Due to client confidentiality I cant and wont be able to discuss it with you.

    I did a car circuit for Bare in my very first week MSing, so they're not too taxing. It does take time though.....I did a 4 car circuit and it took me almost 5 hours.

    Touche! ;)

    I did email BARE and ask them the same thing....they acknowledged by allocating me the job without replying! I'd better get researching cars and apologising to my Gran who I've just killed off to inherit some money. :cool:

    They are time consuming -as often you need to wait to speak to a salesman but not over taxing -I think for the time involved and fitting them all in if you get behind schedule which happens quite often-It's a fair fee. Just make sure you don't mix up your notes-all car salesman feel the same after a few calls ;)
