How to get money owed?
 

Company in usa owes money for content about 40k. What is the way to get money back? I would be grateful for an advice

Name the company. That's a good place to start.

an argentina producer owes us 2k dollars worth in content

Hire a lawyer and sue them?

Step 1 is outting them.

Collection Agency?

K will never pay you, maybe you can resell the content? .... :2 cents:

exclusive content producers know who the company is :2 cents:

Did you have a contract?

no he did not, none of us did.

If it's the company I think it is, then their rep has just nominated himself and their site for a GFY award.

First, make their business name, and the full name of your primary contact public knowledge by posting it here.

Second file a police report in the city and state they are legally registered to do business.

While some agencies would discourage you from filing with them, they are required by law, if you insist. They also prefer you be personally present when communicating with a police officer, but this also is not required.

It's best to prepare a statement of facts in writing, and be certain that the English is very good, so there is no misunderstandings.
Include all information you have on the business, owners, managers, and representatives.

Finish the letter with a declaration like this:
"I attest that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, all information in the above referenced statement of facts is accurate and complete."

(Your signature) Date
Your full name

Your company name
Your company address
Your telephone number including country code
Your email address

Attach a copy of your passport, and email the police officer with whom you spoke on the phone.

If you need me to hold your hand through the process, email me directly: alex AT nalem DOT com

Once you have the police report and number in your hand, you can demand your client to pay you with X days. If not you will proceed with filing a lawsuit (complaint) in their local jurisdiction by hiring a lawyer. You will pay a small retainer fee in advance and this lawyer if they win the judgment and successfully collect, will take 25-30% in additional fees.

Good luck!

I assume they got all the model releases and content then charged back.

So basically everyone knows there is a company scamming a bunch of people, but nobody will publicly out them, which might lead to more people getting scammed?

Good job guys!

Touche....... :2 cents:

OR

that company owned them $$$$$ too, and they still keeping some hope to get pay one day :1orglaugh ( It's a me my self and I thing.......)

Send the Boogeyman.

that's how Brandon Ackerman got to do business on here for years

only at the end people came out and said that he scammed them for 5 figure amounts

I would do it in a heartbeat but in this case I am not involved and therefore can't say 100% if it's the company I think it is

Not sure ma. Have no idea who reps them however all this stuff doesn't concern affiliates. I'm assuming everything is fine in that area

Not outting a scammer because you feel it doesn't concern a certain demographic... Where's the logic?

he is still doing it on the content forums

is it a 3 letter company?

uh don't bash them it could end up being a counter if you sue.

good point :2 cents:
