Re: Something to Do
Just out of interest, does this guy get much work from Repairs@? If he does, and stands to lose a fair share of work, then he has shot himself in the foot.
As there seems to have been a bit of time on this one, he looks to be guilty by default.
Think we can safely follow Ken’s action if required.

Re: Something to Do
Maybe we need to hang on till we hear his side. If he is slow in responding, he has no case.
Can we give hime 3 working days to respond, and advise a suggested course of action should he not come back to anyone on this.

Re: Is This A Forum Or What ?
Maybe it would be handy if you could remind us regards the earlier post.
Prehaps your timing was unfortunate, and the right people were not around at the time.
Can you pop in a copied link so we know what we are looking at?

Re: my home connect @ currys
The day I had a call from them, it seems so did everyone else and their dog. Just look at the original thread on this and you will see what I mean.

Therefore whose interests do they have to heart when they set up a network of agents at a cost to those agents, and then have them all in competition for the same work.
Pyramid selling with a difference! I shan’t be bothering with that lot.

Re: Public Liability Insurance
It is more than normal practice these days to be asked to produce documentary evidence regards Public Liability. In fact with some of those I deal with I anticipate the request. Nothing dodgy about that, more of a duty of care to all concerned.
Try doing work in a Wickes Store on an appliance. Nightmare, and if you get an officious manager, even worse. I get an easier time from the local Royal Marines camp, or the R.N.A.S. and they put mirrors under the vans.
There are national work providers, whom I shall not name that do not ask to see insurance, CORGI or anything else.

This gets creepy. I didn’t notice the old thread had come back to life. http://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/modules.p … c&start=90 But what a co-incidence? So there we are Martin, the Ghost of Christmas Past.
I know this is going off the topic, but; 1) How does a bird that cannot fly hover? 2) Not only the Arctic circle, he was well lost as he belongs in the Antarctic.

Re: Anybody out there?
Ask Martin.
He had a “pen-pal” on this site from somewhere out east, possible Former Peoples Republic of Yugoslavia.

Re: My Home Connect?
They told my office there were to do with Currys. Doesn’t show that on their site, and if you go their partner site via one of the links, http://www.thenationaltraderegister.co. … rships.php they list who they are affiliated to.
Yet if you look, there are no names on there.
If they come back I shall quote I’m on the Telephone Preference list.

Re: Seasons greetings
Holiday Greetings to Everyone.
I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends but it is so difficult in today’s world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So I met with my solicitor yesterday, and on his advice I wish to say the following:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the New Year, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2007, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that it is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wish recipient.
By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:
This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.
Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

we suffered there ridiculous system for a year & finaly gave up when they credited our bank account with seventeen thousand pounds which they didn’t owe us……….And then had the nerve to ask for it BACK.When we were agents a sudden £174,000 hit our bank account overnight. I thought it was an ex-gracia payment to recoup our losses.
We kept it to one side in another bank account as I knew they would come knocking one day. Not only that I didn’t fancy a visit by those with violin cases.
A few weeks later, there was a panic phone call, they wanted it back, and to add insult to injury with interest.
I paid it back electronically, but regards the interest, I suggested “Salire Montare Bicicletta”.

Re: Seasons greetings
Yes. Seasons greetings, Happy and Prosperous new year (if that is possible) and peace be with you all.

Re: TV weather forecast
I imagine it is Martin’s driveway. Posh part of the world. Terry Wogan, Brucie and the Queen as neighbours.
I never see my house in daylight this time of year, so I have no chance of taking a picture, and even less chance of being home to see it on the local news.

Re: CDSL
Pre-Booked calls.
We have been on pre booking since Jan 06, and to be fair it has worked a treat. It has saved us getting the grief from the customer regards, “What time” or “Not until then” so the onus was on Connect.
Anyway this last month or so it has gone tits-up on that. We have had a few that were out, and in all cases we billed Connect. Normally we complete the call down on the spot, get the Connect labour fee then refuse to call back until we get either a new job number from Connect with labour included, or c/card out of the customer. If the customer pays we open a new job ourselves.
Yesterday we had 3 that were out. We billed all 3, and told Connect. 1 of them has now been removed from us and assigned to another repairer, which means we cannot get money from them or the customer as she is still getting a repair.
The upshot of that is I have refused to accept direct booking calls, and they have agreed to my wishes. So, if any of you are on this, and would rather not, you know the means of coming off. Just be clever about it and it should work.
BTW I haven’t posted this.
