How long does it take for RE to process a report? I submitted mine on Tuesday afternoon but haven't heard anything back yet.

I submitted my first report for RE last Thursday, and it was processed this morning. I don't know if they usually take so long, this was just my experience.

Other companies, competitors, read these posts and that's why we have to keep all the information confidential. So that they don't pinch the contracts and reduce the fees...

I don't think MS companies have crystal balls.

Exactly what I was thinking.

If they've asked you to submit it for the third time, ask them for the fee three times and if they still refuse to pay for the job, sue them.

I'm very aware how easy it is to take someone to court with the right evidence and this is the sort of thing they'd really not want to bother with and would pay what you're asking for at a guess....

If you're going to stop shopping with them then at least force them to pay up, don't let them off!

Anyone actually tried? Would be interested to hear what happened

Can I just mention that Assosia take breaches of confidentiality VERY seriously and by mentioning fees you are, in effect, breaching the confidentiality agreement you read everytime you do a job for them. It would be better not to discuss them on a forum in anyway. I am sure those who work for Assosia have had emails recently, making it VERY clear, that nothing is to be discussed on open forums and frankly, I am surprised people haven't taken this on board.

If that is what you believe, I am puzzled why you responded on an open forum (copying my post) and simply did not PM me!

Think I spoke to soon, just checked my emails again and the report's been processed!

£900 a month? :eek: :eek:

How many burgers and pizzas is that? You must look like the michelin man!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Yeah but he does do it full time and can dedicate most of his day to it. Most people who MS have full time jobs and do it for extra pocket money and perks.

I did 2 jobs for RE at the end of last week, had no problems submitting them, and have just checked my account and they've both already been approved ready to be paid at the end of the month. So not everyone is experiencing those ghastly problems. I hope those of you that have had problems with them get them sorted.

I can second that. 9 visits from last week have been approved without any queries.

I am puzzled as to why you would want me to PM you. As it happens Assosia will be aware of what you posted and if, as you claimed, you did phone through your results, you will be very easy to identify. The people there take ANY breach of confidentiality seriously and you have made a mockery of that by mentioning fees and one of the types of jobs Assosia may or may not do.

Not that I expect you to care about it.:mad:

Ive just joined all these MS jobs and have been accepted by quite a few. Have one question. Jobs seem to have a fee which I will get for completing an assignment and a reimbursement fee. Do I have to spend the whole amount quoted as reimbursment (even if the job spec doesnt ask for anything that expensive) or will they give me that amount regardless?
