I'm one of their latest victims, left them after a couple of months and they owe me my last wage, i didn't get any fuel allowance for the last 6 weeks which was one of my main reasons for leaving, other reasons were the amount of cancelled jobs and messing around I did for them. It cost me to work for them in the end! I'm gonna send this guy a letter

Hi guys, worked for them up to March, they had loads of work but were quite disorganised. At the end at least two in every three jobs I went to pick up had the boiler orders cancelled when I turned up to pick them up - complete waste of my time. Didn't hear anything from them for two months in sorting out my final pay and almost gave up in the end.
I got a letter from them last month and contacted a woman called Allie there - who got it sorted for me. The email address I used was [email protected] and I also called them on 0845 0700997. Worth a try guys – nowt to lose. If all else fails there is always ACAS etc. but they did get it sorted for me.... and I had almost given up hope!

I have been watching these forums for some time and I makes me wonder the same thing, so ill post on here the same thing I posted on the electricians forum.
Are the people on this forum the people who left all the shoddy workmanship behind for all of us to clear up.......
Thus the reason they havent been paid when they finally left or was pushed......
Then I wish you luck, but I wouldnt hold my breath if your in the group I mentioned above.

you will not get paid out by running to DECC or crying wolf to OFT.
If you all have valid grounds to get you money back then like I said to the sparks, why havent you been paid? Did you not expect it due to bad work?
Im no stooge infact I just call them as I see them, but you people are deluded. If your all so GOOD then you must have other jobs? Just leave it and move on.
In fact I am still going to leave them asap, due to bad organisation and planning. So in fact im probably on your side, TTS was one of the great firms to work for about 2-3 years ago.

Hello - My husband is having a nightmare getting any wages/expenses back from TTS. They also have made illegal deductions of wages for late paperwork etc...Also - TTS arent registered with the Tax Office so have been deducting your wages but not actually paying the inland revenue - so all the lads now have big gaps in employment as far as tax contributions are concerned. We have been advised to contact the inland revenue fraud squad asap. What a nightmare this firm has been - we are taking them to a tribunal and would advise everyone else to do the same.

2011 - The Year So Far!
We've had an interesting start to the year here at Total Trade Services. Towards the end of the last financial year the Government Department responsible for the majority of the funding of the schemes we operate on insisted that all monies were spent by the end of the financial year. A limited amount of carry over was permitted. This meant all hands to the pump and a big recruitment campaign while we scaled up to deliver.
Did we make some mistakes along the way? Absolutely, and we recognise that. We want to apologise to our clients and employees for any issues with the level of service provided during this time.
We recognise that in some situations we did not recognise or respond to situations quickly enough. During this time we also recruited significant numbers fo join Total Trade Services who were office based. This meant we had new teams on the ground being supported by new people based in our office and consequently our level of organisation wasn't as high as we would have liked.
We can assure you that during this process we have absolutely learnt the lessons and look forward to putting those learnings into practice. There has been frustration with us as an organisation and for that we apologise - we are doing something about it!
One very important lesson during this period is that despite what has been at times a poor level of organisation, there have been many instances where the level of service provided by our team has been nothing other than exceptional.
We operate in a volatile economy and in a volatile industry. The days of economic boom and our industry doing nothing but prospering are very much behind us. We need to constantly adapt and change. This is why our review of working practices is aimed at making us very much stand out from the crowd moving forward.
For any customers who have any outstanding issues please contact us on 0845 0700997 or email [email protected]. We are committed to resolving these.
For any employees who have any outstanding issues - please email [email protected] or contact Allie on 0845 0700997 and we are committed to resolving any outstanding issues. We would like to meet with you to make sure these are resolved.

hahahah well it looks like these forums worked, the messages to the DECC worked BUT one of the office staff is on these forums and unfortunately has confirmed that the management TOLD THE OFFICE STAFF WHAT TO SAY AND HOW TO TREAT THE TEAMS AND CUSTOMERS!! Step in the right direction maybe but they should shut the place down really and I personally won't stop until they are gone!! So anyone want to follow my lead and contact the DECC with concerns and complaints?
By the way lads if you are after your wages make sure you have ALL correspondence and job pack details to hand as TTS are now sending invoices to unsuspecting ex employees who are owed money for overpayment of wages!!!! Be prepared be very prepared!

I joined this forum especially to post in this thread... worked 9days for them in January before realising what kind of an outfit they were and never got paid.... went to a tribunal 40days ago (I won since they never even showed up) but surprise surprise I'm still waiting for my money.

I came across www.moneyclaim.gov.uk where you can send them a court order and they have to reply or they get a CCJ
I rang up and spoke to allie she actually sounded like she was there to help but remains to be seen if I get paid

Hello mrs kirk. I spoke to the plumber who is putting right your husbands work and he said hed love to show you some pictures of what hes had to deal with.
I havent been with them long but the deal was if we left or were laid off we wouldnt be paid till our outstanding jobs were checked. if you agreed to this when you signed up then it seems a bit daft to complain about it now.
Just to clarify im a sparky so cant criticise anyone for plumbing work, but im fed of reading complaints about pay from people who nearly cost all of us our jobs because they didnt care enough to do a proper job.
