    Undertakers. I shall leave the rest to your imagination. It's bordering on the ridiculous with a lower fee than before. What a surprise for ESA lol.

    Mine was fine earlier sorry. :(

    Unless you count shockingly quick proof reading as a problem (two jobs over the BH weekend both were approved within hours :eek:)

    I've been signed up to Bare for a couple of months, and whenever I apply for anything (I have taken the basic test) it just sits there and the date gets later and later (or just passes) but they stay pending in My Apps. Can anyone tell me if this is normal for Bare as it's not an experience I have had with other companies and I work regularly for about 8 others? Thanks.

    From Bare themselves
    For XXXXXXX Visits we have already assigned the number of visits we needed, and it was only 15.
    But we still keep them on Job Board in case any of these ones which are assigned would be canceled, then we can quickly find somebody who would like to take canceled assignment.
    I am sorry for the confusion it causes.

    Totally stupid system :eek:

    I still have a job pending who's cut of date was the 28th April. :cool:

    I find BARE very incompetent and unprofessional TBHO.

    Lol why would they be ringing me, I'm worried about the apparent current efficiency of the proof readers not their competance...for a change! (Plus I really need to double check that I actually have changed my phone number with them).

    Not that it helps you, hope the report didn't take too long to redo.

    How many jobs can anyone see on ESA?

    The number I can see has not changed in 12 days and the back-up stuff has disappeared.

    If you are under a certain age, you won't be able to see the death shops. I can't see them either. Just checked now and there were only 100+ visits.

    The back up shopper thing was just a scam I think to get people worried thinking there was someone else in their areas taking the jobs. All mine went to back up, and then the "person" or ESA dropped them all a day or two before they had to be done and they all become available again. Strange or what?

    Just picked up 2 bank jobs, the one with the counter interaction on GFK. Not gonna alert as not sure if they were dropped or are being put on at the moment. Enjoy.

    i know that in some cases the backup was genuine. a shopper in my area told me that he had three shops on backup and i had those 3 shops.
