I had 2 and a half months invoices outstaning and can possibly offer a ray of hope. I talked to Networkers MSB and they look legit and confirm they have acquired Qualitas. I can now confirm payment via my umbrella so all is not lost - phew!
Just a pity there wasnt a bit more communication - have put us all through a lot of worry a bit unnecessarily! Although given the initial credit check response from my umbrella and other people's experiences of getting paid mybe we had a narrow escape through this acquisition.
Good luck!Comment

Nice to hear jlambert.
Lessons learned for all:
1. Know who you're working through - if google suggests AN Other is an oily rag, then at least ask around as to why AN Other is seen as a rag of oiliness.
2. Get paid as often as possible and make sure every single payment date is confirmed in writing.
3. Don't give agencies any chance to push back your invoice, get it 100% right every time and demand that they confirm receipt.
4. Remember that your last invoice related to a particular contract is likely to be the hardest to settle if you're dealing with a shyster. You can't leverage the client and squeal 'business risk' if you're off site.
5. If your brolly is paid to process payments then make sure they chase as well. Some people on a site I know well were 2 months worth of dosh down because they hadn't checked up.
6. Nobody *really* knows who is who on a public bulletin board, as we saw with the bn66 stuff.Comment
