    I was suspended in January, no messages from them. In April I broke their one main rule and found a number and phoned them.:eek: OK got through to the wrong team but the nice lady emailed someone in the correct team. I then got the email I should have got in January saying I was suspended! Then a few weeks later got reinstated. So wait a bit, I also sent mails to find out what was going on with no reply.

    I've never phoned them but have e-mailed them on numerous occasions and used their website enquiry facility.

    As you say, it's very hit and miss though. Sometimes I receive replies from my e-mails and sometimes from website queries. Sometimes I never hear anything at all.

    For some reason my GIPB*ster account has been suspended, has this happen to anyone else? I know of no reason why it should be. I emailed them 2 weeks ago, when I first spotted it, but have had no reply! (now there's a surprise!)

    Think yourself lucky - I'm suspending them :)

    Still nothing from BARE for me :mad:

    I never got paid for a job I did for them last year. They kept saying they didn't have my bank details and I kept sending them, nothing ever arrived. Just starting to look at last year's accounts and realised this, I have emailed them yet again, no doubt the people dealing with it will have left.....needless to say I am not doing another job for them unless this gets resolved. They seem to be totally incompetent.

    Has anyone noticed that ESA seem to have changed their tack on putting up fees automatically if jobs fall late? Now I am getting tons of emails asking me to make an offer including mileage....

    I've not had that, but I have noticed that the jobs just hang around for ages and wonder if loads of people sacked them when they kept dropping their fees. Also, I think they put short dates on, but really have several weeks to get them done in, as its only after 3 weeks or so that they start putting the fee up.

    why what happened? im assuming they've done something to you guys?

    They're quite strict, I couldn't do a visit once due to illness and only told them on the day and they now won't let me take visits, yet i still get sent emails listing the visits available and can still log in and check whats available. So it would be so easy for someone to send a document but i don't really see the point of someone being like that.
