Muro colour maintenance

[tackleburger]

Anyone ever heard of this mob? been offered some contract maintenance work paperwor they sent through looks okay and the rates are fair. Trouble is I have a deep mis-trust of some of these firms but work is short just now could do with some easy stuff to keep the cashflow.

never heard of them but with all the scams going on at the moment I would check them out thoroughly first, how much are they trying to charge you for this work????

Not hear of them and no upfront payment needs to be made to them, which is good.
One problem I see is its up to the subcontractor to ensure payment is made at the time of the call out and if a cheque is bounced by the customer or won't pay it is taken from subcontractor, also if the customer pays cash it has to be at their office by the next Tuesday, but the subcontractor will not receive a penny for 45 days!
If you stop working for them the withhold payments for 120 days!
Not sure if this will help cashflow?
Also if you decide to keep some cash from a customer in part payment of an invoice the will charge you 10% interest it seems?

seems to me they wish to use you as a bank/money collector but thats the way most call out companies work

This company was called flush home services 3 months ago! all of the paperwork is exactly the same, as is the managing director name!

Be careful mate!

Lads please stay well away!

I hate it when these things happen, and the assss holes seem to be able to just start up again in a different name to do it all again!
