Used to be with them many moons ago, they were decent at the beginning however started cocking up (wrong account No's to pay HMRC) and not admitting it, wanted a fee for me to leave.
Had to get in touch with owner/director. Wouldn't touch with a barge poll.
qhHe had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.
I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

When I first started out contracting, many years ago, I signed up with these people. They were very knowledgeable, very helpful, & full of good advice - I, on the other hand, knew nothing about contracting, or how it all worked in those days, so thought Paystream would be the answer to my prayers on starting out as a contractor.
Problem I had with them was they could not do simple arithmetic, i.e adding up a list of expenses, etc. I found myself needing to double check everything, and after 3 strikes (& heated calls) they were 'out'; I'd lost all faith in them by this time. I found a decent, local accountant, & went ltd. I'd like to think that things have improved since my time with them, but judging by some of these posts...Last edited by SteelyDan; 17 May 2017, 19:37.Clarity is everythingComment

Speaking of bank accounts, are there any basic business bank accounts that I could use? They all seem to charge for them - don't really understand why and how they are different from normal personal current accounts?
Back in the day when IR35 first came out a local accountant wanted to charge me £750 for "research into IR35". Yeh right. I'll tell client they owe me a weeks pay while I stay home and read the manual.
Even this time around, different local accountant didn't have a clue. Tried to tell me I couldn't use a limited company, and that HMRC would'nt let me trade if I only had an invoice to one client a month. Lasted weeks that one.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment
