    When the cheque has been received then it will be a fair online claim to make. At present I deem this as misleading and unfair. If a company says that they will pay out on something then they should honour this statement and send what they advertise.

    I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion, text speak is part of our lives as is Twitter and all the other annoying social networks.

    Point taken but in my humble opinion it was still a bit harsh.

    I am going limited with PayStream.

    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?
    Good point, but they have a good service.

    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.

    started a topic Unfair claims

    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.
