I asked for on 31/8/11 for a letter to be sent confirming the amount I have earned for a visa application. Despite Alans ensuring me that the letter was sent out, it wasn't. The dividend vouchers I asked for were sent but not the letter. I'd made numerous phone calls because this was so important however I did not receive the help I needed. In addition to this I was not given correct Information by theperson dealing with my account. Alans reply was effectively ' yes she didn't exPlain in the email but anyway we sent you a starter pack u should have read the fine print' everything in the pack was gobbledygook cos im not an accountant. I relied on them to tell me what to do and was let down. Now I'm stuck. No letter possibly no visa!
I've seen the starter pack and it's not gobbledigook, unless they've rewritten it, and I'm not an accountant.
And this complaint a whole 5 working days after your initial request.
And no visa. Shame...Blog? What blog...? -

2. Your accountant is not your company's finance director. If you have the inability to understand the your basic legal obligations in running a company then you should not be running one."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with the service we have provided. I will discuss this with Alan Jackson, the team manager ultimately responsible for your file, along with your account controller to see what has happended here.

I'm an accountant so effectively a competitor of NW but I'm going to go into bat here for them. I have NEVER taken any business from them but I have done from every other major player in the contracting scene. Although that may be because I am predominantly in the Scottish market and I don't think NW are massive up here, I think it says something about the quality of their work. I have also seen the start-up pack and I would say that its a lesson in plain-English.Comment
