... Posting on behals of Paul BaileyTo anyone who knows me they know that I am not the sort of person to air my dirty linen in public but just for once I feel I have no other choice as I DO NOT! want anyone else to go through the worry and distress I have suffered in the last 3 weeks, this message goes out to anyone interested and is my personal experience of working for the new parcel delivery company PARCEL DELIVERY CRETE also known as PDC who are happy or not as the case may be and as a customer I will say I was also happy too.I have lived here on Crete for 4 years now and although ok like many of yourselves find ourselves on a tight budget and can little afford to lose or waste money, when I recieved my second delivery via PDC we got talking and they said the business had taken off really quickly and that they were looking for more drivers, as an ex HGV driver in England with 15 years in the transport industry I thought that this would be an ideal job for me to supplement my income as had only had 7 weeks work in the summer and as we all know need to pay for an accountant here even if we only work a very short time also would only be for a couple of weeks a month and suited my semi retirement. I have made just 2 trips for this company and even though on the first journey I was very surprised to find that I was expected to pay for all hotels fuel and tolls out of my own pocket until I returned I was paid in full within around 10 days of returning to the island. so of course I did the second trip THIS IS WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED! I have now been back for more than a month and after many promises and messages to put the money owed to me in my account there has been only a very small percentage of money appear, I and my partner have messaged and explained repeatedly that we cannot afford to lose this money which amounts to almost £1000 at no time did they refuse to pay me and still have not but still no money. I delivered a letter by hand just in case the messages were not getting through and said that if they did not pay me they left me no other course but to take some sort of action to reclaim my own money, this did get messages started again which ended in a heated exchange of cleverly worded responses to my messages. that night I recieved an e-mail which is now accusing me of causing damage and not doing a good job for the company which I totally refute and have messages prior to all of this saying how pleased they were with the job and economy of fuel ect that I had achieved on my trip ONLY AFTER THE REPEATED REQUESTS FOR REPAYMENT WAS I TOLD THAT I HAD CAUSED DAMAGE!! This lead me to investigate these people a bit deeper and low and behold the lady of the company were known to many forums MUMS NET, MONEY SAVING EXPERT, RIP OFF BRITAIN ( episode 6 series 8) TO NAME A FEW for a previous business known as Grumpy but Gorgeous when reading the reviews I saw a very familiar picture emerge of poor business practice and poor employee treatment and support, I have also found out that another one of the drivers is also owed a similar amount, I am sure that I will be recieving threats of none payment and accusations of doing a rubbish job if I do not remove the post after this has been seen if they follow true to form but feel that I have to warn any future employees that this is what has happened to me, the final straw came after seeing photographs of them having a fine old time out in bars and restaurants even after telling me they simply had not had a moment to spare to sort my banking and I am left struggling to pay my day to day bills, we have now been blocked on all their fb sites and accused of harrasment for attempting to get repayment of our own money!!! Sorry for the very long and possibly boring story but I feel it has to be said
