    J&C Associates?

    Thanks oilboil, much appreciated. If I end up contracting through them I'll post my experiences. On an unrelated note, I can confirm though that C*apgemini are a load of tulip. Never again.:mad

    J&C Associates?

    Thanks all - I usually check companies house (webcheck) and the latest Gov company lookup, but haven't looked up the credit search (yet). The directors seem to be an american couple, one of whom runs another company with a varied history which has recently taken a controlling interest. That...

    J&C Associates?

    Thanks - I did the google search as well but as you also found, that returns no hits. They're advertising a role, and not having dealt with them before I wanted to see if they are dodgy, average, etc. Eek - you say they have changed management recently - so there may not be anyone here who has...

    J&C Associates?

    Hi - I've tried to search this forum for an agency J&C Associates, or any feedback on them, but with no luck (I don't think the search function recognises 3 characters or less, so J&C produces nothing). The search within each result for "J&C Associates" don't seem to contain any mention of...

    NOW Pensions - Data Breach

    No it's not hearsay - email was from provider, and I've spoken to them on the phone. How many were affected? "A big number.." - they couldn't (or can't) actually state the figure. So there will be many on this forum who are affected, and they should be aware (if they aren't already). Leaked...

    NOW Pensions - Data Breach

    Yes (and Troy Hunt's (whi runs it) Twitter page, and NOW Pensions breach is not on there - but it was only a few days ago apparrently, so may not have been made pubiic yet.

    NOW Pensions - Data Breach

    I got an email this morning (genuine by all accounts) from NOW Pensions (now owned by Cardano) informing me that somone with access to their data posted all my info (name, NI number, address, email, etc) to a pubic forum, from where it was copied. This happened a few days ago. ICO, regulator...

    Left - client requesting personal laptop audit

    I suppose the current contract (end of this month) is still in force - or maybe not - as I'm signed off. They could use that?

    Left - client requesting personal laptop audit

    Not sure whether to post this in Legal instead. 3 renewals at client (many many months), last 2 weeks of contract left and stress got too much (external issues plus internal harassment) and I've left (signed off, stress) - had enough. Client wants access to personal laptop to make sure I don't...

    Umbrella question...

    Ahhhhhh - No - you don't. I don't avoid paying, never have, never will, have always paid for everything. What I am trying to avoid is total wipeout, which does not help any of the parties involved. The law is not rational, and couldn't give a tulip about what is in the parties' interests. Self...

    Umbrella question...

    Although I run a Ltd (have done for a few years) I may need to go through an umbrella (for various reasons, earning less etc). Despite looking at all the FAQs and guides etc, I really can't find any answers to the following question: If being paid via an Umbrella, do I have to take the exact...

    Outstanding invoices due - but company has closed?

    I'm still Director - I thought by closing the company I could force the payment of outstanding invoices through some other medium than the company. I'm trying to avoid putting the (have to say well-earned) invoices through the company (think ex-spouse). Oh well!

    Outstanding invoices due - but company has closed?

    Ok - how do go about getting them 'assigned' - is this a technical thing an accountant does (I'm assuming so)?

    Outstanding invoices due - but company has closed?

    I am in the unfortunate position of chasing some outstanding invoices that *may* eventually be paid. However for reasons I won't go into I need to close my company down. So this raises (for me at least) a couple of questions: 1) If I close the company down - can the invoices (if they are...
