Now Wash Your Hands
Ripped me off to the tune of several thousand pounds

Now Wash Your Hands have ripped me off to the tune of several thousand pounds. Back in April I took on a job with them to develop a flash Quiz Game for the BBC Eastenders website. The job didnt go very well, but at the end of the day I did build this really cool piece of flash software for them and after stringing me along for months and generally being real a**holes they told me yesterday that they arent go to pay me anything for the massive amount of work, stress and hassle theyve put me through.

At one point, when it was clear that the relationship was disintegrating beyond repair, I received the following email from the Managing Director, Neil Jeffries at which point I realised what a bunch of wide-boy media d***s I was actually dealing with.

I am a little lost how you have the cheek to ask for the full amount of xxxx, in which we would have paid you if you were to deliver a completed product. However if we DO find a resource that is prepared to work over your existing code and we can recover the project with our client, we will agree to pay you something, but this will definitely not be the full amount as agreed.

I wasnt asking for the full amount. I compromised on half because the job had gone badly, but at the end of the day I did deliver them this software (view it here) which took up a lot of my time and effort and stopped me taking on other work from real clients.

To string me along for months and then not pay me a penny is blatantly ripping me off. And while I cant MAKE them pay me, hopefully this blog post will impose some small discomfort on this very dodgy company.
