OK - but not when they give inside info which only if they work within VM they would know?:confused:

The utilities (all of them) may require them as their engineers may need to enter a property whether an adult is present or not, to make the installer safe.


i think you will find that gas and maybe electric ( though it has to be an emergency as if they want to gain access to a meter they need to give two days warning ) are the only ones with a right of entry last time i checked ( i know there were some changes on who has access to your property ) the others as far as i am aware require police or court order to enter

lol if you want to see who can get in read this

the story at the bottom titled "A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BRITISH SUBJECT" has made me laugh

PM'd OP

For potential customers peace of mind, appropriate checks are now carried out for staff specifically those dealing with Credit Card details and entering the home.

Virgin salesman, i would not employ you in my company, i'd rather take the chance of employing one of the staff you mention with previous convictions.
At least they would not be going out of thier way to cause unrest between colleagues of the work force.
Jobsworth, busy body and pompous ass are a few of the terms that spring to mind, as well as a few others, but i won't post expletives on the site.

So be it John, but unless you are running a major direct sales operation in the UK I doubt I will have the chance of working for your "company"!?:o:

You may feel I am "going out of my way" to address this issue but I dont look at it like that. I am within the top 5% of VM sellers in the country. If you would welcome convicts in your home then thats your choice. I work hard and want to work with people who are going to give VM the right reputation. We still have hundreds of people working in direct sales (including me) within VM remaining unchecked.

You are allowed your point of view but I doubt the potential customers of VM would feel the same way!? As for "Jobsworth" it is my obligation to let VM know of this issue.

By the way, whats your address? I will send round one of my convict colleagues - he will take your credit card details, place your VM order followed by a great night out on you and your details sold to the highest internet bidder (you being a company owner and all - he may get good price)!:)

Let me know - I will sort you out!;)

erm, you seem to contradict your self, when you say "As for "Jobsworth" it is my obligation to let VM know of this issue", when in earlier posts, you state you would not talk to HR or GSID.

This is not an official VM forum, so probably doesn't count as letting VM know.

Can I ask you. How do they manage this where they have outsourced call centres to other countries?

It's worth mentioning that back in post #22 I offered to pass the information you had on to Cable Forum's contacts in VM. That was more than a month ago. To date you have not taken me up on this offer (which still stands btw).

It makes me wonder how on earth you plan to let Virgin Media know about this 'issue'.

Thanks for the offer Russ - yes please pass on the info.
