Inflationary increases you might argue but not "I have to pay more tax I want more money" IMO.Comment

I don't think the increase was always there as I have asked in the past and they had said that this was the max price. It's also a contract renewal so your point might be valid on the squeeze.
I'd be very wary of the excuses the agents are giving you. I could be totally wrong but until I saw the clients rate card I'd assume the increase is from the agent not the client.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by Skag View PostThank you all for your input. I just managed a rate increase of 7%!
So, to anyone who is reading this, there is hope and, as always, you don't ask-you don't get. Ask and thou might get!
Unless you're direct and, we dont know because you havent said, the rate increase is probably your agent cutting their already inflated margin rather than the client paying more.I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!Comment
