[quote=Anonymous]Rematch reports are written in vague terms to give the agency wiggle room to rematch an AP and not actually say what the rematch reason really is.  I recently sent an AP into rematch.  The rematch report described the situation in such a benign way and omitted the key causes for the rematch.  It is hard to prove intent to deceive through omission.  What surprised me was that the report said we were not interested in speaking with future HF.  We never said that and would have been very willing to speak with any HF.  Was there an intention to deceive or just a clerical error - who knows?  The responsibility rests with the new HF to insist on speaking with the previous HF and perform as much due diligence as possible when considering a rematch.  Surprisingly, many HF do not.  I even had a HF who was considering my extension AP (not a rematch) and never contacted us.  We were also in the same city.  Conversely, we have had agency discourage us from speaking with ex-HF because they will just say nasty untrue things about the AP but we called the ex-HF anyway.  We rather judge for ourselves than trust them.  Agencies have their own self-interests.

As HF, we need to bear some responsibility to dig into the story and speak with all the parties involved, the AP, the ex-HF, the LCC, the PD etc.  At least if one or more is unwilling to speak, then this should raise more concern leading to more digging.[/quote]
