Just moved in and got a shock off the taps.............

Knock on the ground floor flat & yes 8 years ago we had the cu changed, took a look & both flats are minus a connection to suppliers MET.

Nice!

Got a cu change out of it.

will do just right for the nicey assessment in January......talking of which do they not send out letters anymore, I had a phone call today "Hi we left a message a week ago" err no you didn't as I've not had a notification of a message.."we will be undertaking you assessment on 4th Jan"......you will be on your own then I'm away  msl1: I shall call you tomorrow & book a convenient date once I can get a couple of customers to be home in Jan.......just gets on my tits same old same old every year year after year.

had my DIS assessment yesterday. I got an email over month ago, can't find it now. The only letter I got was 2 weeks ago reminding me, and saying that if I cancel within 21 days it would cost me £200.

Edit; Oh, and you only need 1 example of work now, apparently the leaflet is no longer sent and details can be found on the web site. This is all explained in the first letter, which I never got.

This is why I`m not Nicey any more.

The trick is that someone else cancelled, and they`re finding someone to "fill a gap". I agreed, until they told me that, because they had a new AE, he`d want a full day; and I`d have to give them £ 390 MORE.

So I said "Foxtrot Oscar", and left them where they were..........Robbing bar stewards

I had an email that said   " Following our telephone conversation yesterday we confirm your assessment for Jan 15  blah  blah "   

There was no phone conversation but I suppose that  date is as good any ....... they had my cash about 3 months ago.

 

[Andy™]

if they phoned me and said that, id be reminding them that they didnt phone yesterday, and that they can put the date in writing...

i did once postpone an assessment the other year. sent email well outside 7 days notice (10 day, iirc), they finally replied to my email the day before assessment saying that i would be charged. i asked them to tell me what date my email was sent, and how many days it had been since then...

 

[NozSpark]

LOL... I haven't had an assessment since mid 2014

 

[pewter]

LOL... I haven't had an assessment since mid 2014

me either

 

[Andy™]

LOL... I haven't had an assessment since mid 2014

mid-late 2014 for me. oh wait, thats because the scam got told where to stick their membership...

 

[NozSpark]

Oh.... I'm still registered though

The 'scams' earn me so much money through big spenders insisting on them I sign up with a smile on my face.

the scams earn me nothing, its just an expense. ive only notified about 3 jobs in the last year. probably go elsewhere early next year, but if it wasnt for 1 customer who i do a lot of (mostly non-notifiable) work for then i doubt i would bother with it

Domestic - 5%. Commercial 30%. Industrial - 65%.

I called & spoke to a very nice lady who explained that they were indeed trying to fill slots that have been cancelled by contractors & my name came up on the list......a new assessor called Chris apparently is now covering my area......wonder what biscuits he likes?

Anyway I explained I'm playing catch up after a period off with the busted wrist, the nice lady asked when would I like my assessment to be...................so tail end of Feb it will be when the bookings dept  decide to call and arrange it.

 

[Lurch]

I got a phone call today, assessment tomorrow. Typo on one of the emails the other week so I was somewhat surprised. Not got any biscuits in either, he'll just have to have a bag of crisps and a swiss roll.

 

[Blue Duck]

Mine was about 6 months late!!! Assessor man said something about a lot of AC's missing an assessment and them having to catch up so I expect an email in a couple of weeks! :lol:

He doesn't go for biscuits. I had a foxes selection box but he wouldn't bite. just made sure the tea bags in the office were fresh and gave him a lift to a funeral!

chris thomas?

 

[M107]

Don't know Andy, she just said "Chris was looking to fill a free slot"............................................... msl1: .........................I did chuckle when she said that, but alas the innuendo just passed her by.

How strange - Im purely Industrial and not one of my customers knows what a scam is and are more than happy to accept a standard EIC / EICR etc without a scam number on it

Do you mean real industrial or toy industrial ?

All of our work ultimately goes back to the same client which if you are not NICEIC you will not get on their approved suppliers list.
