    Hi Mimi. Where your RA payments separate as usual, or was it a lump sum. I received 1 payment which I presumed was station, but it was short of a few quid! I didn't get my cheap shop payments, so owed 3 of those too! I had to send a chasing payment form in for the Station ones!

    Hi. I got 2 lots. 1 was for the pharmacies and the cheap shop from October. And then the stations were another lump sum. RA payments totally confuse me anyway.
  • OOh my cheap shops are from beginning of December. I agree with you on the confusion. They need to start paying on a more regular date, than all over the place.

    Or better still, just put a little note saying PAID 24/12/2012 next to the shop in the completed section, or even a little P next to the shop details. It would help wouldn't it?

    Have a lovely weekend pet, and everyone else too.

    it working now it would not let me view the jobs i left and went back in.
  • I'm pretty late to this. I'm not working and not claiming benefits.
    Could do with making an extra £30 or so a week.
    Can anyone recommend the best places to start?

    Also, is it a good way to pay for your NI stamp?
    So if you do OK out of it, it will help towards state pension,
    and if you give it up, you can qualify again for Income Support?

    You work as self employed, so the companies you work for do not pay your stamp. You have to register with the tax office and can get a certificate to exempt you from paying NI if you only earn a small amount.

    I have recently had to start paying NI as I make too much now, so you can make a decent living at it. But all my children are in school now and I do this as my full time job.

    HTH. Mandy.
  • Hello
    Fairly new to this but have done a few shops since November. I don't see Assosia mentioned in this thread although I will admit I have only read the beginning and then skimmed a little. Are they okay? I have been paid for some cinema audits but still waiting for others. Having read some of the stuff here I have a lot to learn but it is all really interesting and I'd like to say a huge "thanks" to everyone.

    Go back through the threads looking for the phrase "company who is not mentioned" or words to that effect. They don't like to be discussed for whatever reason on t'internet.

    Assosia are an established company so I'm sure you'll be OK. I think it fair to say that they are not everyone's favourite, I can take them or leave them and not had problems with them myself. Apparently they don't like having their name mentioned on here but as their website gives full details of the type of work they do I find it odd.
