Market Force Gas Shop

I had an interesting situation occur with MFI. And have the potential for another interesting one.

I performed a MS-Audit at a station in a small town with the correct address. I get another one in the same town but at a different address. When I go to the address, it is a residence. Then after going to the post office and finding out that the address does not exist in that town, I take pictures of where google took me. I report it.

I got nasty emails from the Help Desk that the address has been previously reported. They state the first and correct address as being the location. So they state it's an invalid shop.

Fast forward to today. Both addresses are listed on the job board for a MS and announced audit. I am considering signing up for both, and performing both at the same location on the same day.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Don't mess with MF. You'll be deactivated. What you describe is/was very common where I live, where the gas station has one address (which you may or may not be given) but the address on the shop is the owner's house. In my area, what I did was go to the station (it was obvious which station it was because of the brand) and report that the address given was incorrect and list the correct address in the comments. After 3 or 4 reports like that, they got it changed. Fortunately, now it's changed hands and is shopped by a new MSC and they have the addy correct.

I agree with kryswyn916. I go to the correct address and report the address has changed. Immediately after submitting my report, I email the help desk and give them a summary of what happened. I hate this happened to you. I hope it all works out.

What I have not obviously made clear is that they expected me to report the gas station at the 1st address for the 2nd address. That is what I was told I should have done. So they have two different addresses for the same place.
