And I did two visits for GR on the 1st, one is showing as paid and the second is still pending - any ideas? I've not had any queries or contact from them to let me know there was a problem with the report so that's also slightly concerning me.

I queried this with GR a while back and they said basically different clients want the report sooner than others. So some of them you could get paid within 10 days, some take a month. If it's not this one I assume it will be the 15th Dec (thereabouts) as I'm in the same position with one of mine.

Dont forget they pay again on the 1st of each month so not long to wait.

I had that last month, 2 visits, same day, same client, within 10 mins of each other!!
But one was paid in one pay run, and the other in the next!

I think if they ever have any issues with a report they tend to contact you pretty quick. I had a phone call first think on a Monday morning to say one of my answers made no sense. I asked him what I'd written, and he said it was literally a jumble of letters and numbers. I think my little boy must have had a whack at the computer when I nipped to the loo or something and somehow I hadn't noticed!
Must admit when I have a lot of reports to do I can be a bit lazy on proof reading myself before submitting. :A

Has anyone picked up an ESA Bank job? Do you have to actually open a new account? At no point does it say you have to change your mind and back out.

Same client, and they were done on the 1st of the month so already missed the previous payment run (I've done jobs in the past for the same client that have been paid 6 days later). I was just quite surprised since I'd not heard that there had been an issue and naturally given the time of year I'd rather like my payments to start coming in asap.

I picked up 2 but they are financial reviews nothing to do with opening an account.

Just seen the scenario you have and page 2 tells you that you don't need to open the account and gives you a back out.

The brief I read said you don't open an account, you say you want to think about it etc. Ties in with there not being a credit check.

I haven't picked one up as there was none local enough to me, and I am not travelling to far afar at the moment as I'm too pregnant and waddley, but I'd had a look out of interest after I saw the alert, and in the info I read under the Instructions, it said you don't need to open it, and gave a suggestion of what to say as to why you're not opening it.

On another note, can people throw a couple of suggestions out there of things that can be asked in Gap Chicken places. I've run out of things to ask that sound remotely normal!!

DPJames

Thanks team, I didn't see that bit of the brief, but I have now, cheers.

Gap chicken, could you not just ask for the time? Or does it have to be food related?
