Hi,
I'm new to MS, signed up last week and have completed 4 jobs so far for RE and GFK which went well. Signed up to GAP and selected my first 2 jobs- supposed to do them on Sunday. Had an email from them this morning cancelling one of them saying they no longer require me to do it. The other one seems unaffected. Is this a normal tactic of there's? I've already read the issues with payment and wondering whether to bother with them at all!

I think that's quite unusual of them actually. It's never happened to me before, most I've had is them changing the dates of a couple assignments.

OMG! Thank god its the end of the week! Just had to call bank because money I paid in on an MS isn't showing in my account but I had 2 different shops on the same day and the man on the phone just told I should paid all my money in one bank because this can cause problems!!!!

Its the GFK quick banks - its a simple counter transaction but if you do more than 1 in a day you run the risk of them saying that

I would advise that you also check your list of completed assignments regularly. Gap has a habit of changing jobs to "cancelled/rejected" after they have been completed and submitted. It seems that Gap makes a fair few mistakes with scheduling (allowing us to self-allocate jobs that don't actually need doing, and not realising this until after the event).
