    Unfair claims

    My friend referred me to CS Accounting and he said that he was going to get a cheque for £100 which never turned up has this happened to anyone else?

    I received an email from Parasol about referring and I could win a trip to Barcelona, it was aimed at recruitment agencies but I seemed to have received it? Database issues one thinks.

    After speaking with another friend over at an engineering recruitment agency he had mentioned that they had binned off Parasol due to a number of mistakes.

    I will be leaving ClearSky Accounting and going over to Paystream.

    On the note of being unfair I received an email about refer your way to Barcelona this was shocking because it said Parasol on it which I have not used before plus I am not a recruitment agency plus im not sure if the email is border line bribery on referrals and will they pay out? ummm if they cant even get £100 to my good friend then I think a holiday is a joke.

    When I spoke to my friend over at MatchTech he mentioned that they had binned off Parasol for their poor attempts of bribing businesses good on you MatchTech for being honest and transparent.

    I will be leaving ClearSky Accounting and going over to Paystream because their just too underhand for my liking.
    Would you be happier if you did get a holiday to Barcelona out of it?

    And why don't you go Ltd and have done with it?

    And as for ANY agency being open and transparent.... Does MatchTech tell its contractors how much of a margin MT charges to the end clients?

      May I introduce you to some punctuation? This should get you started:

      , . ' ;

      Have a go with those and see how you get on with them.

        Aside from the txt-speak nonsense, what were the "unfair claims"?

          I am going limited with PayStream.

          Good point, but they have a good service.

            The £100 cheque, if a company openly offers £100 as a referral scheme then the referrer should expect to have received a cheque? This in my opinion is an unfair claim because they say they will pay but they never do?

              Thanks, I have amended the post. I thought that this was a bit harsh but that's life!

                Did the referrer chase it up?

                  Yes they did, the response was it may have been lost in the post. They have after the 3rd time asked them to send it again with signed for by.

                    Nowt harsh about it. Some folk get tired of reading this txt-speak stuff. At least some folk are upfront and highlight the fact that they don't like txt-speak.
