I've received a payment from 'Premier PR' today, and am trying to work out who it's from!
The amount is the same as I was owed from First Tracking (for a job in June that I only realised a couple of weeks ago I'd never actually sent the invoice for ) but looking back over previous statements it has shown as being paid by First Tracking. Guessing they might just have changed this for whatever reason, I find with React sometimes it says React, sometimes Lodge something or other.

I did try having a search on here but nothing came up!

Yeah it's FT. The last few payments I have had from them have been from that account.

Thank you. Was hoping they weren't going to get funny about the fact that the invoice was massively late!!

I note (with a resigned sigh) that GAP have once again failed to pay by the end of the month. Remind me why I agreed to do 2 last-minute jobs for them today? Any psychic bank accounts looking hopeful?

Because, like me, you have "MUG" tattoo'd on your forehead??

It says on their site:
"Shopper Payments
28.09.11

The Finance Department have advised us of a delay in processing payments for the August shopping period. This should be fixed by tomorrow and all shoppers who successfully completed an assignment in August will be paid on Friday the 30th.

Please accept our apologies for this delay. "

Whether that means we'll receive payment tomorrow or they will process it tomorrow, I have no idea!!

It's becoming an all-too regular occurrence isn't it. If we are late with a report they don't pay us and yet they think its acceptable to consistently pay us later and later each month. Methinks they have severe cash-flow problems.

It's strange really, you would think given that their main clients in the UK are such huge corporations, they would be paying on time, as it's not like the burger people have cash flow problems that would have a knock on effect.

Morning all,
I just want to know why PIP asks for my NI Number in the Bank Details Form. Do they need it for tax purposes or what?

No, but they would get favourable payment terms compared to a single man in the street operator, so they'd probably pay on time just be given longer to do so

I didn't put my NI Number on the Bank Details Form and they still paid me, no problems or questions.

No, don't run away Miss Qwerty. I have a question to ask to the Suffolk MS contingent! Can anyone see the burger place near the cinema? I haven't seen any jobs for there for ages. Just wondering if I'd been banned from there.

It was sad to see another GFK client on re this morning. Fingers crossed its a special project.
