      What a total joke! I emailed back stating I think it's an absolute con.

      I'm curious to know how they could renew it for £350 though...

        I wanna know how they can renew it too, though I think it's based on a role they put you forward for.

        Agree if I wanna know my clearance is still active, I simply call the DVA like I've always done.

        WHAT A CON!!!!

          the sooner someone does actually set up a business providing security clearance the better... current system is carp

          errrrr...
          re the two above posts - have a read again.
          all they're offering to do is chase the renewal with your client on your behalf

            Because they're probably ListX and can hold and apply for clearances for people working on projects requiring them. There are several Agencies that are ListX.

            For one to charge an admin fee to transfer Clearance is ludicrous and tantamount to blackmail since they can effectively tell a contractor pay up or no contract start.

              Hays to charge to see if your clearence current

              Hi All had the e-mail from hays ,The way I read it was if you wanted to be included on Hays defence /goverment contractor lists , They wanted to check if your BC/CTC/SC/DV was current and that they would get an third party to check your security clearence status for them hence the cost of £58.50

                Its not outrageous, its ******* unbelievably outrageous.

                Surely the Vetting Agency should be aware of this extortion?
                I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

                  My SC has lapsed - will they renew it, even if I haven't got a contract with them?

                    This is a scam, I have reported them to the appropriate authorities.
