How long do you wait to get paid?
 

How long does someone owe you money before you call them out on it? Promise after promise of payment, week after week after month of chasing for money. How long do you wait before you take it to a public forum?

This company in particular is not one I would like to "ruin" so to speak, but after weeks and months of "the wire has been sent" and time and again giving runarounds and excuses, I am pretty much at the end of my patience. This is basically the last outstanding customer for ANYTHING still left over from the time before my current position. I know these people have been going to shows, so obviously there's money there... why is it so hard to pay me? I would have no issue even if they made arrangements for payments (which actually they sort of did and STILL didn't follow through), but I simply keep getting told it's been sent and yet nothing is coming. I have recieved wires from these people before so I know that's certainly not the problem.

I would be perfectly willing to keep things pristine as long as there's SOME resolution to this, but I'm throwing down the gauntlet now to let these people know that if there is no resolution on this subject before the day is out, I will be forced into a position to make this much more public than just this post. I loathe the thought of doing so but I've been left with no other options at this point.

If this were only a few hundred dollars I would not take issue, especially on a public forum, however it is a substantial amount of money, they had had their product IN HAND for months (and are likely already making use of it), there is ZERO reason or excuse for this to go on any longer.

i would say 3 months...thats a long enough time for them to send you money...

send them this link and give them a week...after that just call them out on it...

It's been more like 5ish or more at this point at least.

Release the hounds!!!

kinda off topic, but I have to wait 5 weeks before my affiliate cheques from america actully get into my bank account.

I told you I would pay you when I got the chance. I just haven't had a chance yet because I needed a new laptop and my nice new hi-def widescreen monitor so get off my back woman!

:)

I'm sorry LadyM geesh! I said I could pay you in sexual favors!
:(

Uugh...we've had this conversation before I think LadyM. Sucks for sure. I think the longest I ever had to wait was in the neighborhood of 6 months.

WHAT?! I thought I was the only special one that got paid that way!!! :upsidedow

I think i'll have a seat right here.

Bitch, get back to work! We'll discuss payment after your job is complete. :1orglaugh

that's long enough!!

Do you outsource? :)

We can discuss bilateral labor trades and union terms later :winkwink:

Ya for sure... and 6 months is too long too! I don't want to cause shit, I just want a resolution. Nothing worse than things interfering with business when you should just be DOING business!

havent got in this situation.. but i will.. i know definitely know what to do.... "invite others to get their own pop corn and start some drama" :thumbsup

Well they are in touch and will hopefully get this resolved. I don't like unpleasantness and will not start it unless I have no choice. We will see how it goes :)

Actually, this is the second last issue, the last issue I will definitely fucking be calling out.

About 4 years and counting.

SOWWWWYY!!!

There are so many times one can write the alphabet with their tounge before it falls off, you know!

I have waited up to a year. Though that person never lied to me and gave my any bullshit lines like I will send wire tomorrow etc. They were just straight up and said I am hard times and I can not pay you right now. That I could respect.

Now if some company or person mislead me or whatnot, then oh well release the hounds.

Out em!!! ;)

It's not us I hope? LOL!

DH

LOL! I think you owe us $10k, can you deliver by the end of the day? I'll try to invent an invoice before then! :winkwink:

Bump for ladyM .. hope you get your money :D
