Just wondering why they do this? Will I now show up on the scheduling or MSC list as a no show on the system.....
So here it goes:
- While on the road I get the " Can You HELP us " email from a scheduling company for an MSC.
- The instructions read that you must live within 20 miles of the location
the location is listed as being both in NH on line 1 and MA on line 2 with same street address
and that you must make a call then schedule an in person appointment
- I send a quick reply in between shops asking to clarify which state it actually is
- In return I receive clarification
- Within seconds of pulling up a google map to see if I am within the required mile limit,
I receive a "you have been assigned this shop and the due date is today" email
Now I'm thinking whoa that's not very nice.
- I send an " I decline" email back to the scheduler and explain the due date shows today,
and am 4 miles beyond the mileage limit described in the instructions therefore unable to complete this shop
-Scheduler replies with- I had to assign it to you to see how far away you were. I can change the due
date after you complete step 1. Attached are the guidelines. And within the body of the letter is a link
saying if you do not confirm by clicking this link or emailing the scheduler within 24 hours this shop will
be removed
- Couldn't open the guidelines on the road so email the scheduler and ask that she copy and paste them and send
- Keep checking while on the road and nothing no reply
At this point I'm thinking scheduler got someone else or it was removed from me because I did not confirm
But nooo instead the next morning I get a snarky email from the scheduler. She writes: the reason you can't open anything
is because you did not confirm this shop.
Well duuuuh, how do I confirm when I can't look at the guidelines.
So I send my second "I must decline email" to the scheduler.
I think this is the scenario that plays out when reports and scores get down graded and fees decreased at pay out time.
Ironically the MSC is a notoriously slow payer and has a history of decreasing shop payments. This is based on the numerous posts here that go back over quite some time.
