    Alternative to Crunch recommendations?

    I was using Crunch and was happy but they then messed up and refused to partially refund 1 monthly fee as a solution. I’m sick of these companies that screw up and “apologise” without actually taking ownership. My time sorting stuff out for weeks if free right? Can anyone offer any glowing...

    Terminated for asking questions about my data.

    Contract Yeah, thing is I'm pretty experienced. I am privileged to have landed a new role a few days later. However I'm not one for "staying silent" when it comes to this type of unethical behaviour. The part I missed out is I have legal insurance and a claim has been accepted under contract...

    Terminated for asking questions about my data.

    Interesting replies. I sort of wanted to gauge the response, it's curious that the company is unethical and the focus is on the recording. How did you mean I got this wrong? By asking questions? I did my research on this one: Employment law - Can my employee record our conversations? -...

    Personal data request - is this normal / legal?

    Thanks for the replies Hmmm....I get this. However they also want an NI number, certified address.... I think it's overkill and risky for me to send over this volume of information. A passport I can make peace with but like you said they have no legal remit. This definitely treats a copy...

    Personal data request - is this normal / legal?

    Hey all, I’ve just landed a new contract - as part of the recruitment company’s vetting process they are asking for copies of my passport, address and NI number. This is on top of all the company documentation. I have two issues: 1) is this legally required? I am technically employed by my...

    ClearSky errors and customer service.

    At 200pm they are a premium car, not one with 100,000 miles on the clock. I was recommended by a colleague to use Parasol, I used them without any issues, then when I was ready I researched SJD and Clearsky. I even visited these forums - both had horror threads so I had to take them with a...

    ClearSky errors and customer service.

    Brilliant, so let me get your the logic of your sentiment clear: You're telling me that their errors are my fault as I chose them as as accountants... So it's well known that they're awful and it's my error that I chose to go with a company that's such a mess?

    ClearSky errors and customer service.

    I thought the forums would appreciate an update, I recently had an huge issue with ClearSky (see link below) http://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/118084-clearsky-liabilities-shock-poor-advice.html I had figures through that came as a massive shock, I was told I owed a large amount of...

    ClearSky, liabilities shock and poor advice.

    Thank you for all your replies, I’ve been trying to gain some advice about this for a while and this has been helpful. There seems to be a split between those that agree that I should have been advised and others that believe it’s my role to have known. However the fact there is a split makes...

    ClearSky, liabilities shock and poor advice.

    Hi all, I'm really hoping someone may be able to help. I've been using Clearsky for about a year, I joined as they touted themselves as contractor specialists, I was on their assure package hoping that they would take care of everything, hassle free and provide me with the right advice. I'd...
