June 16, 201411 yr comment_385676 Got a question today which I can't really answer. Customer of ours rents out offices and new tenants are in therefore we need to change the name on the URN. Customer asks, why does it cost £65 to change a name? What do you tell your end users as I must confess, can't come up with a valid answer myself. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36892-why-does-it-cost-%C2%A365-to-change-the-name-on-a-database/ Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

June 16, 201411 yr Author comment_385678 £78 something with the VAT if it has a PA as well Do customers never beef at the cost? I thought most alarms admin wouldn't accept cheques anymore and invoiced the alarm co for payment via BACS? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36892-why-does-it-cost-%C2%A365-to-change-the-name-on-a-database/#findComment-385678 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

June 16, 201411 yr Author comment_385682 Yeah but changing XYZ Limited to ABC Limited is hardly £65 of cost on the cops side is it? www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36892-why-does-it-cost-%C2%A365-to-change-the-name-on-a-database/#findComment-385682 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

June 16, 201411 yr Author comment_385687 I thought you'd be well versed in explaining away high charges for trivial work? No comment. At least for £65 they would get 1/2 hour of our time, not 5 mins. www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/36892-why-does-it-cost-%C2%A365-to-change-the-name-on-a-database/#findComment-385687 Share on other sites Share on LinkedIn Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share via email Share on Pinterest More sharing options...
