Agencies to avoid....

[Bee]

Yep. Ive been getting calls from them or another similar company. Staffed by Indians with a very poor grasp of English and using such crap phones every word sounds distorted.

I have the same feeling and sometimes hard to understand, but this is not the worse, it's the kind of questions they made.

e.g:

Where are you from?
Portugal
Do you have a Portuguese passport or an European passport?
I'm portuguese so I have a Portuguese passport
But i'ts an european passport?

LOOL

Following this, I lost interest to hearing the rest...

Vector Resourcing Limited.


1. Take 25% off the top
2. Late payments
3. No direct email communication with their staff, only group email addresses (replies never have a name on them)
4. Direct phone conversations are recorded (whether you like it or not) and they will claim you/they said things in them which you don't believe was said, but the recordings sometimes "go missing" when you ask to hear them, or when they are supposed to be presented to court.
5. Misrepresent you to the clientco and misrepresent the clientco to you.
6. Will claim clientco are not paying them and thus they don't need to pay you
7. Will accuse you of a variety of things, mostly false or unproven
8. Final payment will be at least a month later than all other payments, can be more than a year. Clientco will be blamed, you will be blamed, and they'll claim it's within the contract
9. When asked a simple question, will reply with reams of pages of response unrelated to the question but will make new accusations in said pages
10. Accuse you of "bribery" when you ask them to cut their %.


...want me to go on?

Not completely correct. The free movement thing is for Schengen countries only.

Actually, its utterly incorrect. You do need a passport to enter UK even if you're an EU citizen. As has been said, the UK isnt a signatory to the Schengen Agreement.

Given how UK Immigration officials work 9or rather dont) though, Im not surprised someone managed to get in by flashing a citizen's card!

For now......

Oh dear.
