    VOIP alternative to BT Cloud Voice Express

    Thanks for your reply. That answers my question unfortunately. Moving away from BT isn't an option as it's a fairly new contract.

    One of my customers, who I do the odd computer work for, recently changed to a BT digital contract and they supplied him with a router and a gadget that connects to a digital phone supplied by BT. This connects using Cloud Voice Express and has a device plugged into the router that then...

    MTD – more admin than expected?

    For CIS clients with just income it should be much easier. From my understanding the CIS deductions will be fed into the MTD software so shouldn't even need to do anything other than press the QU button. I only have one CIS client over 50k so we'll see how it works in action.

    Hydr

    Thanks Ozzy, Ian was very kind to advise me a couple of months ago when I first was looking for invoice factoring, but due to the low volume was unable to help. I managed to find the company we are using now and I think Hydr is the only other alternative. Ian gave his comments on hydr as that...

    Not received final months wages

    From what I can gather, the newco took over in September but there was no official changeover. My aquaintance was let go at end of September and as far as they are aware was still employed by oldco. Certainly there was no tupe involved. Whether the other employees were tuped over I don't know.

    Not received final months wages
