    I was due quite a bit from GR, but looking at my account, only three of the jobs are showing as having been paid by BACS yesterday. The rest are still showing as "payment pending"; even those done at the very start of the month. :(

    Hi. I was also dropped from Gap and they owe me over £100 for jobs completed prior to be sacked.

    In the sacking email it states that you cannot sign up again and their decision is final.

    :(

    Hi gapbuster updated there data base and dropped me from there books just after they phoned me and offered me 6 new assignments.
    after looking on other post on this site this is a common accurance
    so not really that worried except they owe me over £100 which I am hoping they pay me.

    I am considering signing up again too gap as there jobs would be ideal to fit in around the other mystery shopping jobs I am doing what do you guy's think?


    As for payments from them jobs completed between 1-30 of the month is paid on 24 of the following month or thats what it says on gap website.
    hope this helps.

    You won't be able to. They cross-check names/addresses/bank accounts and if you're found out they will sack you again.

    Aside from the obvious they've sacked you so it kinda takes the p*ss if you think you can just sign up again.

    Just looked at mine and they are all showing as paid. Is it any particular type of client that hasn't paid?

    It's mainly banks, but a few clothes ones too. I think the banks are usually quite quick - I can see one in my past history where the assignment was done on 17/1, and payment was made on 21/1.

    I'll just have to look forward to my GR payout in July!

    It's the phone shops that haven't been paid for me although I am sure it was the same the last time I done one

    Do you mean the REACT one I posted? Would you rather I had put 'Travel' rather than holidays?

    I was trying to be helpful! :)
