Yup correct, it’s the company that passes you the call and pays the bill that ultimately foots the bill, whether they get paid or not is not your concern.

Oh dear, oh dear that doesn’t sound to healthy.

Well I ain’t taking my other half, not a chance of it with the kids.
However, as I was saying to Ted last night, I wonder if they do rooms with a spa bath? 😉
K.
And on this subject….
Ted needs to know how many places he’s booking on Das Boot
I need to know what type and how many rooms to book at the Butterfly
Please give us some numbers to work with?

Re: NESN UPDATE
appboy wrote:As a fairly new agent for NESN (without contract), you may be interested to read the details of my meeting with Maria Whelan (Head of network and opeartions) yesterday. Please respect the confidentiality of the information, she is returning mob handed tommorow with some answers to my questions, I will of course divulge the outcome. 😀
That’s it Phil, they’re coming back with the heavy mob to sort you out! 😉
appboy wrote:NESN are on stop with my company, and yesterdays meeting was to try and sort out the problems and get us working again.
Hmmm, I wonder why that is now? Would it be perhaps that they can’t get anyone else to do the work as no-one else wants to know about it?
appboy wrote:Maria asked if I was working for MFI, I confirmed I am and asked if this was a problem? No, as I have not signed a contract.
Adn if you had signed a contract what difference would it have made given the above? I smell bullshit!
appboy wrote:With that out of the way, I agreed to listen further! Maria explained that the lack of confidence with NESN was a Northern problem and all the Southern agents were quite happy 😀 !
Oh yes, the South’s just peachy! 😆
The fact that they have no cover in Devon or stretches of the home counties is a figment of everyone’s imagination!
appboy wrote:I asked about the payments problems, and she informed me that NESN had approached the bank to increase its overdfaft and all future payments would be 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d}!
I asked her about the missing 12k from my last payment and who gave them permission to contra 12k and pay my connections bill!
She appologised and explained that J.T had been on holiday and it should not have occured! I was not on my own, apparently another 10 agents also took a hit 😥So are they going to re-imburse you for the loss and the damage caused to your cashflow? I think not!
I also had this out with MFI, apparently NESN have no authority to contra the accounts without your explicit consent, the fact that they have done it in the past to me, you and others leads me to believe that they’re worse than I thought.
appboy wrote: Apparently they have more work than they know what to do with ❓
Read: they have more work than they can cope with, hence the farming out of all the admin to a third party. Said third party also wants a cut of the pie, still less for the people that actually do the work.
appboy wrote:She was very interested about the Whitegoods site and DASA link and was really pushing for info, I told her a lot was happening and a new network was being formed, she said NESN was not worried as we cant possibly offer the services that they do! and as such, did not see it as a threat 😉
I know they’re interested and I’d lay odds that they’re shit scared of it as well.
As for not offering the services that they do, just what services is that? Buggering about with the figures to make them look good or the ability to piss off as many people as possible?
K.
Yep, more or less echos my thoughts on DASA of late as well and I know I’m not alone in feeling that way about it.
To be fair though, there are some council members hell bent on shaking it up a bit. 😉

Hence the need for as much feedback as possible, whilst I’m not directly involved in this since it is a DASA project I can see the merit in it and I can see it being the most radical shake up of the service industry in years! No, I’m not exagerating, this is a one-of-a-kind project led by an enthusiastic team of service people doing the job day-to-day trying to make their lifes and everyone that’s a part of this better and easier.
And, very importantly, more profitable!

DAve and I meant the old downloadable PDF document which appears to have vanished into the ether.

I’ll see what he says, it’s a friend of mine and I think he was a bit gobsmacked at the price of the switch…at trade!
Again, another glowing example of over-priced spares in relation to teh cost of the appliance, or a replacement!
K.
Hehe, I’m probably not on it either as I think I’m persona-non-grata and I FINALLY got it sorted a year or so ago after three years of trying to renew it!!
JP, don’t get too upset. 😉
