    Parasol Increases Admin Fee (Again)

    Hello and thank you for your email today.

    Your email mentions that the deduction will be £95.90 a month, and within minutes of receiving this email, I got another email from Parasol News stating “With effect from Monday 21st April 2008, your Parasol admin deduction will be revised to £87.95 per month.”

    So what’s it to be ?

    Either way, Parasol it getting more and more expensive for the standard user like myself, who doesn’t earn a massive daily rate and therefore is hit the hardest by such increases. (As opposed to someone who earns triple my daily rate and can easily subsume such an increase).

    You talk about all the added value you offer Parasol Customers, yet I’ve never needed these services. All I want is simple payroll. Yet I feel like I’m being charged more for services that I don’t need and will never use.

    Parasol seem intent on driving their customers away, particularly the ones at the lower end of the scale who don’t earn massive rates and can casually ignore such administration increases.

    Regards,

    This is getting beyond a joke.

    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          That may well be the case and would indeed be appropriate I feel.

                  Sorry but what is the point of this post?

                  At the end of the day they are a business and if you don't like the prices they are charging, then vote with your feet and leave. Moaning about it to other people here on the forum isn't going to change anything. I don't like the price increases of petrol, gas, electricity, council tax, and milk to name a few, but you don't see us all on here moaning about it.
