Shouldn't this be in light relief (probably)?

Parasol have always been recommended on this board until lately that is so you may just be experiencing a temporary glitch. Personally I use ContractorUmbrella and they've been great but there are loads out there and you just need to find what's right for you. The only one I think we'd all advise you to stay well clear of is P4 - you may as well throw your money down the bog

so back to the point please... not asking for patronising, just advice
Unless of course your personal reasons are :
'I like someone else telling me what and how to do it, and working for an umbrella gives me a level of security akin to the bosses I had back in the world of permie'.

Dont use any of these, they are just another level of expense.
A simple Ltd. with accountant is all that is needed, even if you are IR35 caught.

Contractor services ratings? - in the aftermath of ParasolIT palava
Having had some problems with Parasol IT lately after their horrific and disastrous system upgrade a couple weeks ago (see that thread in the General section)...
Does anyone out there have experiences - either good or bad - they'd like to share about other contractor services companies?
Constructive feedback would be useful as I think a number of us are shopping around at the moment.
How is the customer service, response time, payment time, any major screw ups and what were they... you get the picture.Tags: None
