I would love to give a definite for this and I will try - it just falls right on an awkward day in terms of a project I've got going on....

[vwdan]

Yes, and ref a form - I spoke to them specifically about the scenario. They didn't request anybody fill any forms - they told me specifically pass over bank details and my reference info to the brolly and that was that. Maybe Paystream did something further behind the scenes - can't comment on that,...

[vwdan]

You did it over e-mail?...

[vwdan]

No, the provider needs to know if it's an employee contribution. If it's an employer contribution they don't care - and that's how HL will treat "random" deposits

Either way, it's how it worked. I gave PayStream the HL details, and every month I get a letter from HL to say they've...

[vwdan]

Remember, there's no risk to HL taking it as an employer contribution - the risk is people trying to claim that it's a personal contribution.

It's no different to paying from your Ltd Co bank account, or via debit card. You give them the money, what you give goes into the account - job...

[vwdan]

Are you just here to be awkward? There were two questions posed:

"Can I contribute to SIPP via umbrella company?"

and

" I wanted to know if Paystream(or any other umbrella company in fact) do a direct debit from my payments into SIPP providers like...

[vwdan]

Yes, I was with them. They have a form where you can simply give free form details of your SIPP, the bank account, and reference number etc.

I think they required some provider details to make sure it was legit, but there's no "approved list" or anything. It's actually why I chose...

[vwdan]

Paystream will pay into a SIPP, yes. Not via Direct Debit though - you'll need to provide them instructions of a bank account, and they "manually" send the payment each month

[vwdan]

Yep, though I always feel it was a tragically under appreciated show...

[vwdan]

If you're looking for some phraseology to help you feel better - you accepted verbally, based on the conditions as were described at the time. Had you known in advance it was going to take weeks to onboard, you wouldn't have accepted. You feel misled, and feel that the information given was false....

[vwdan]

Always, and I've insisted on a few clauses being removed. One was an attempt to pass unlimited IR35 losses over to me, and I've had various overbearing non-competes removed too. They probably wouldn't be enforceable as written, but good to be thorogh.

Funnily enough, for one consultancy,...

[vwdan]

Lol, verbal, amateur. I pulled out of a contract on the Friday before it was due to start, after waiting weeks for clearance.

It wasn't nice, they were far from happy but...it's business. You've gotta look after yourself first - in my case, there was already some bad blood due to previous...

[vwdan]

I'd also recommend getting an LDC - as it's a nice to have if you ever come to sell, or have a tricky neighbour. That said, mine took absolutely bloody ages to come through and in the end I started the build without it (and hoped for the best!)

Very easy process though - I did it all myself...

[vwdan]

An over simplification, surely? I've done some hiring and quite often we'd wind up sat there with a few candidates CV's after interview, especially if things were really tight between a few.

The CV is your sales brochure, fundamentally, and I'd expect it to be referenced throughout the...

[vwdan]

I'll confess to being a little facetious, but I don't really see how else it can be interpreted.

Woman gets "arrested" by a warranted Police officer (And I think this is key - he wasn't a "fake" police officer or anything like that) and promptly raped and murdered....

[vwdan]

Quite right, it was just implied!...

[vwdan]

This man, being a bloody PCC, specifically said women need to be more "streetwise" when it comes to being arrested by Police Officers. Can you honestly not grasp why that's problematic, and why he's been absolutely trounced for it? He has, quite literally, blamed Everad for "allowing"...

[vwdan]

Committing a dishonesty offence when in a job where integrity is critical, and where courts may call upon that integrity seems pretty foolish. Zero sympathy from me - mornonic decision making, and clearly whatever his reasons he's unsuited to the role.

Found this quite intriguing:
...

[vwdan]

You never addressed it the first time round. By expanded, what you actually mean, is skirt over the very heart of the thread....

[vwdan]

Anybody else struggling to understand why Vetran is so keen to gloss over the context of y'know, what was actually said and who said it?
