Why would we assume this?

Haven't we just done a round?

I agree that they use to be a lot quicker in paying. I've had to chase them a couple of times.

Has anyone ever done any work for Mystery Shoppers Ltd? I've done one assignment so far. They appear to pick up assignments other companies have difficulty in allocating. I haven't been paid yet. I read that payment is within 28 days of assignment completion. Just wondering if anyone knows how true that really is.

I did a bank job and was paid 25 days after the assignment.

Thank you! I spoke to the bank, and they have said TNS should never have said these were going to be soft checks, and have offered me a high three figure compensation amount!

I did this job too, but thought it was a full credit check. What did TNS do when they found out you'd contacted the bank and revealed yourself as a mystery shopper?

Hello,

I'm wondering, if anyone can point me in the direction of a pre-made spreadsheet they'd recommend? I'm numerically dyslexic and can't trust myself to set up an excel sheet that works!
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have been liasing with TNS since June about the credit checks, and they constantly said "they are being removed" so think 4 months was long enough chance to give them! I sacked TNS after they lied to me about this anyhow, no trust when allocators lie to you to get jobs done.

I am still chasing a payment from MSL that should have been paid at end of Aug! They have never not paid before. I have emailed twice and phoned them, despite reassurances no payment has been forthcoming. Their accounts dept will not acknowledge my emails. I am this time sending the late payments fees and the rest in a letter, rather than email and demanding immediate payment. If that doesn't work, I'll be taking them to the small claims court and contacting my solicitor. I am wondering if they have cash flow probs and might be going down the tube?
