call natalia for a price, then call o207 212500 ,,, the DTI and assist in getting this illegal operation shut down, they admit to not being legal!!!!!
This is potentially very serious to the reputation of the cc industry, in the uk.

dont worry.
i had clean up jobs from this type of cleaner (splash & Dash) and all it does is make you look more professional.
I have a A3 leaflet that i not used yet that address the problems for prospects that use splash and dash. and the disadvantage of cheap carpet cleaning. it goes on to tell people how to choose.
my aim is that if i get to many in my area is to drop the leaflet in the same was at the same time as they do, then the prospect will have a leaflet with cheap prices on it and one that put doubt in their minds
its not aimed at anyone it just tells prospects the signs to look out for, and way thay are so cheap. so it should not get any comback from any splash and dash guys.
I have a friend that is in a much more risky business that you would expect this type of compertion to get heavy and all they do is call him as customers and ask some really silly question. in return he just winds them up in a nice way.
we all know how hard it is to make it, and given that some people will look at what we as professionls change and think they can make a killing.
BTW just be carefull what words and how you express yourself in public as this subject is a hot one. use it to your advantage.
you will find it will be prospects at the low end of the market that will use this type of service and living essex let just hope they dont upset any dog owning shavan head boot wearing person with bad workmanship -)

If you have evidence they are operating illegally you should ask HMRC to investigate.
If you do not have evidence they can still investigate by raiding the firm

hi ian
do you have faith in the system to look out for us? I dont believe in them, I know people that can work but dont, and in one case has an wife not from this country working cleaning homes and he is not made to work,
I got him a job window cleaning in london with my mate and he lasted a day, he claims disabilty its really funny one day he has a walking stick the next he on his push bike. this has been going on for years.
if you read the papers you would have seen about the problems at the home office this goes right though to the sharpe end. my sons mate works for the old bill and he hears all the time about how they know about lots of these type of peoblems but are inafective in dealing with them.
the problem is not these people but the system. as john read said "the home office is not fit for purpose" we just have the live with it.

I went on a training course a while back and about 15% of attendees were East European. However, all had been sent along by an employer.

They learn how to do it then start doing themselves.

Spoke to a manager of an employment agency on Monday................tells me the East Europeans don't have to go through the polce checks which are mandatory for UK residents............so, we can employ and start immediately, East Europeans, but have to get two references and disclosure document for locals...............
There is a great deal of deception taking place by the current government, who are brainwashing our kids and lying to us about the need for foreign labour...........while doing nothing for kids leaving school and university.
