    The last time I had a manager Dv with me maggie thatcher was still prime minister! must be because im too fat !! are we talking 45p per statute mile or per Dm mile ???
  • we measure a mile in our office by how far an agent can go before they either have to have a fag ,a burger, or how far they run from doing any work

    They've been trained well then.
  • at .45 pence per mile is way not enough, by the time you have carted a few lard AARRSSEE agents on DVs your fuel consumption rises way through the roof,
    i drive a golf diesel and i have noticed on some DVs i can only get 25 to the gallon, with all the stopping and starting and the extra weight you carry,well enough said
    Me thinks you forget yourself on here! only a few days ago you were a DOM. Now we know thats total bull and you're full of sh--. just the usual wingeing dm spouting off utter drivel again. trying to have a pop at agents. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. roll on this week NO SALES FOR ME or is that NO SALES FOR YOU!!! Week 21 same again. We'll see how much you like your bonus this month then. And for the record its 45p per mile for dm's up to 10,000 miles. Anything higher than dm is paid at 13.5p.
  • We also know that as a dm you wont be doing any arrears visits at all as last time I was aware you would need to stop and start your car and do short journeys or are you one of the dm's who drive 10 miles between calls just to bump up your mileage? Just another example of the company subsidiseing peoples wages with taxpayers money.

    WOW, Dont you just love people high morals. Ive just had a look at some of your other posts!!!! Encouraging someone to do SEX LINES like some of your friends!!! EWWW Dirty men W*nking while your friends talk to them. Yuk. Oh and I notice you telling someone else to use web cams!!!! Yuk takes it one step further. MORALS dont make me laugh. lol.

    Comparing an informed choice to work within the adult industry, with encouraging people who can ill afford to get into debt, to get into MORE debt, while scaring the eldery out of their winter heating money, or the unemployed out of their food money is what is laughable. Tell me, DO you ever consider the implications of your actions on others? If so, and you can STILL swallow working for a company such as the provident, then you are made of tougher stuff than I.
    The only thing we know for sure, is that we know nothing

    Interesting that you seem to think of engaging in sexual activities (something myself and a lot of people think is a healthy activity) as immoral but selling sub prime debt (which has been shown to damage countless people's lives) is somehow a public service. Seems to be broadly the same attitude as those who allow violence on TV but not sex, with one being harm by definition and the other ... well most people enjoy it don't they?

    Personally I feel that just because there is a market for sub prime lending does not make it right to provide it due to the damage it causes. Can you give a reason why sex is immoral other than "EWWW"?
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    This thread is getting nasty with agents getting aggressive and angry if they dont like a comment. I have to consider maybe you therefore deserve all you get as are unlikely to get of your bottoms and fight properly due to all the infighting.

    I also agree with others and my experience, that agents round here are not interested in wether a person can pay it back or not previoulsy, just after the sale and now perhaps will be more careful if they suspect they are not going to get payments from a household who obvioulsy cannot afford it.

    And for the provvy sc** who keeps putting his card through my door, stick your loan !!!!!!! I would not lower myself.

    I have more respect for shopacheck and that is saying something as they have faults too with over selling to those who cant afford, but at least they dont force it down your throat:)

    I suggest all genuine agents move away from this site and leave the ill informed to insult themselves we do not need to justify what we do, and if Marvin is a genuine DM I hope that whoever from head office is monitering this site realises who he is and deals with him.
