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!
    one post, and to attack a well respected and highly recommended supplier. Hmmm...

    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...?

      1. Complain to Nixon Williams in writing not on here. Most misunderstandings are caused by people not communicating effectively particularly if they are doing it on the phone, however a concise letter or email normally sorts this out quickly.

      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.

          Hi Deshlocums,

          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.

            Just like to add that I switched to Nixon Williams just over a month ago and to date they've been absolutely brilliant. I'm sure its just a one off problem.

              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.

                They were sound as a pound when I used them last - whatever the issue is then Im sure they will resolve it swiftly.

                  Maybe that is why they are not massive in Scotland
