    too fast in my case - however after replaying the scenario with my partner the timings were actually perfectly feasible. strange. I was asked to describe myself so they could check it was me on the cctv. At this point I am thinking £X payment - really :) I was quite flattered that they thought I was in my mid twenties when I am actually 37 so every cloud has a silver lining. It is the first time I had had to report something negative and their gunning for me now :(

    It seems GAP have asked a few of us one here to ID ourselves. They weren't that flattering with me, LOL.

    Just a pointer, it's forum policy not to quote payments when you make a post :)
  • Can anyone confirm for me what clients A-Bai have left (over PM if not cryptically here)?

    go to aba-i.co.uk / signup and you'll see all the clients you can register with.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • I'm already registered with them but I had read on here while I was in India and not Msing that they had lost at least one client and I can't remember which one it was and I can't find it. But I don't want to waste my time continually checking for visits on a client that they no longer deal with.

    The shop where you use a book to choose things, then had to go back twice in a day has gone.

    A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work

    too fast in my case - however after replaying the scenario with my partner the timings were actually perfectly feasible. strange. I was asked to describe myself so they could check it was me on the cctv. At this point I am thinking £4 payment - really :) I was quite flattered that they thought I was in my mid twenties when I am actually 37 so every cloud has a silver lining. It is the first time I had had to report something negative and their gunning for me now :(

    I've had my timings questioned saying that it was too slow, except it was only me being served there were no other customers so the lady was being really nice to me and getting sauces etc and chatting with me. I don't think they should be penalised for that!

    I quite agree. The phrase dont bite the hand that feeds you applies here. But it all seems a bit silly like a game of cat and mouse between them and us. I don't know why they don't come up with some sort of automated system to work out timings or something.

    I've had my timings questioned for being both too fast and too slow :o

    I guess I've been lucky so far and I don't think the timings haven't been that far out.
