  • Has anybody received payment for the pain scenarios on Retail Active?
    I didn't upload a receipt for these visits bit awkward asking for one in these shops. I uploaded pictures of the product with the price sticker on. Last time I did a shop without submitting a receipt I was told a few days after they were refusing payment these have been 4 - 6 weeks.
    I did have a payment for the tiles visits today.

    Hi Folks,

    Sorry to neb in but I am wondering if anyone can help... I have done a few jobs for various companies and have recently registered with the one with the burgers and chicken. I am fairly confident with the drive thru ones but can I ask how you manage the timings in a sit in? Surely you can't have your phone out all the time - are there any good pocket timers etc to get as I have a smart phone so in pocket prob won't work.

    Thanks for your time :)

    If you have an iphone then try 'Any course lite'. Its free. and you use the volume buttons as stop and start.

    Not sure about android. Just go on the android app store and search for stopwatches. If your phone has a couple of physical buttons you should be ok. If not, Voice record will be your best option.
    Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk

    The search came up when I checked Noddle and when I got my statutory report from Equifax. Agree that it's not clear who can actually see what searches of your credit file and understand the precautions that banks take. This was only an enquiry and was a bit surprised that a credit search took place as I had not made any form of commitment to proceed and brief said no search would take place. Next time need to use false data methinks ...

    You're right, if the brief said you would not be credit checked then it should not have shown up on your file, regardless of whether it was a soft search or not. I think the banks/building societies are just being lazy by not wiping the search from our file after the jobs.

    This is why I stay away from these visits. The banks don't really care about our credit rating!

    Don't even get me started on the short-term loans....

    Ha Ha - Tern are busy looking for people to take out Pay Day Loans. Don't think they are shifting as the premium keep going up.

    RA (SEQ Solutions LT) payment pending for tomorrow :), for a pain scenario shop. Still waiting on a number of small supermarket shops, that were done well before this pharmacy visit :cool:

    That's good news :) It's so confusing trying to keep track of the payments with RA.

    I did notice last night that i have actually had payment for 2 visits I mixed up another two visits. It's a DIY visit I'm waiting on payment for back in early October.
