Seetec - can I do anything? (Currently working)

    Been working part time for a company 5 years. Got told in Nov 2017 I'm being made full time in Spring 2018. Same week Seetec contact me as I receive benefits for partner and 1 child, I go and tell them what's happening they tell me I'm on their books until I get full time hours.

    March 2018 boss puts me full time, I sign completely off social welfare and 'try' to leave Seetec. My boss has told me he refuses to correspond with them regarding me as I gained this employment years before I was part of their program & was put full time through hard work and all the rest.

    They were only ever a hindrance anyway, the tried to force me to look for full time employment telling me that it meant nothing that I had spent 5 years here or that a full time position was (and since has) being created for me. They offered me no kind of actual training, they refused to work with me when I provided working days and would consistently (weekly) make apps on days I was working and then when I called to rearrange the apps they put them down as 'cancelled'... by me. (sure that looked great to the SW)

    Anywho they consistently call me at the office every 14 days to check I'm still getting my hours. I do not want them contacting me, my boss does not want them contacting me. I do not receive Social Welfare and they did not help in ANYWAY to me procuring this employment.

    I do not want to deal with them anymore. I've called both a local TD and Citizens Advice, CA told me to write a letter of complaint. The TD told me the next time they call to give his name and telephone number and tell them to refer any future correspondence through him.

    Should I allow the TD to handle it (will Seetec even take me seriously if I try that via phone)?

    If a letter is my best course of action can someone advise what the content should be? I wouldn't have written very many formal letters of complaint before and I would like to be taking seriously and removed from their program/registry. They have genuinely and only been a burden and avenue of stress in my life.

    Also I seen mentions of contracts on google - I refused their 12 month contract because I knew I was being put full time in 2018 and only signed the contract until the 31/12/17 - I do not know the content of the contract nor could I put my hand on my own copy if I needed to, I remember the date though as I was adamant that I didn't want to deal with them in 2018 and though refusing the 12 months would atleast achieve that.

    Block their number or simply refuse to answer their calls. They'll get the message soon enough. Seetec don't give a sh*t about you, all they want is their commission for 'finding' you a job.

    There's previous threads about this shower and what they're up to.

    Well done on getting full-time hours!

    Seetec are an absolute disgrace and an annoyance!

    I am working the last 7 months and I continuously get calls 3-4 times every couple of days.

    I answered it last week and informed him that I am working and why are they ringing, he hadn’t a clue what my qualification was and kept referring to me as someone else! A career I never worked in! Then after I explained everything and where I am working he said that’s my file closed.

    Then literally 10 minutes later I had 5 missed called and a voicemail to ring him back!

    Never did, then all this week I have missed calls it’s total madness. I have emailed them and told them I am in work and can’t answer the phone, Jesus do they want me to lose the job or something!

    Now I get another 3 missed calls this morning, on the voicemail he asks me to ring him to update my file further...... sick of them such a joke of a place.

    Like I am not claiming so why do they need to keep annoying me!
