You worked in a bank and put yourself inside IR35 because you were asked to provide a personal bank statement to prove you weren't in jail when you were on the bench ? Really ?
You never produced bank statements for a gig? Well jolly well done you !Comment

So you're prepared to argue that anyone who suggests possible reasons is completely wrong, based on you having no idea.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

You simply cannot compare the risk approach of a large company bidding on fixed price work to a one man band that has zero notice and can close his company at the drop of a hat. They need different approaches and in a one man company it's going to be belt and braces which means assessing the risk of every person that walks through the door.
Claiming a client carrying out due diligence on an individual makes the B2B agreement a sham is ridiculous. The same individual is likely to have to go through H&S and IT policy processes when they get there. Does that make them employees as well?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by fidot View PostI literally have no idea why they would ask. That is my whole point. They don't prove anything anyway. If there is a requirement to check for a criminal record, CRB is a more comprehensive check, which is being performed anyway.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Your original post didn't question the legality as much as pose the question "Can I use some law to stop them pushing me around yet still give me the job I want?"
As long as you adopt that permie attitude you will attract derision here, and quite likely elsewhere."Don't part with your illusions; when they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live" Mark TwainComment
