    Worse than that I have seen them hire tens of people, who all on their first day as new starters were given 6 months pay and asked not to come back!

    Not to mention the corrupt goings on with their embedded Indian outsourcers.

    Clueless they are
    They need to hire people so they can be seen to be getting rid of people to keep the shareholders happy.

    Direct Debit = someone has control of when and how much money to take from your account.

    Standing order = YOU have the control.

    started a topic British Telecom

    British Telecom

    My accounts person is away on holiday so I went to check whether we had been paid £13k by one of our client only to see an £8k increase in the balance. I dug a bit deeper thinking maybe it was an HMRC direct debit for VAT or something. It was indeed a DD but it was BT that had helped themselves to £5000 from our account. Now considering that we only pay £150 per month to these people I thought this was a bit strange. Had we not paid them for the last 3 years or what I thought? No every month had been paid. Fortunately I think I caught it in time to cancel the Direct Debit and it should be returned tomorrow.

    I am going to be on their case tomorrow. What a damn cheek.
