I'm with Parasol and quite happy about them. If there's any delay, it's always the agency's fault.

yes they are reliable and seemingly trustworthy, but their customer service is terrible if you ever have a query about anything (prepare to be ignored). not that i'd expect any of their competitors to be any better.

or so they say!!! for 3 mths they swore blind it was the agent, however the agent had already shown me the statements and proof that it had been paid.

they were fecking useless, and as soon as they offered to pay me out of their funds cos it had been going on a while (a lame acceptance) i then left them. wouldnt touch them or recommend them

I know a lot of people here in the forums have recommended Ltd over an Umbrella. I am fairly new to contracting (2+ yrs now

) and have been with only 1 Umbrella Company.

I was wondering if the others here, have any favourites....

Have you noticed that those who recommend ltd are those who've been doing it for years and therefore maybe have some reasons behind their recommendation?

I tend to not use an umbrella these days.
I wear a bush hat, as it is far more practical.

shocking to hear the Parasol service has gone down the pan - they always used to get rave reviews for their service and win awards for it and everything.

I guess times change!
