The consultancy guys working for my current client are nearly all useless. Inexperienced, take forever to complete simple tasks, constantly off sick or taking time out for this or that personal thing.

Pleased the OP has had a positive outcome. The common theme for this and the MSC issue seems to be that ignoring the letters and not complying reaps considerable benefits further down the line.

Sounds like a pain in the neck, who will likely be a pain in the neck in a multitude of other ways (holidays, personal appointments etc) if they are like this from the get go. It's not a positive from IR35 as you are not in control of your own working hours, but i'd see it as more of a personal aggravation...
