Honestly, who's business is it anyway.

  If the first poster had an agreement with the company she was working for that she be paid on a monthly basis & they went 30 days beyond that then they were in the wrong & she had a legitimate right to be concerned. 

I've been in this business since 1975 & have a  unique arrangement with each client as to payment.  Some pay monthly, some when it closes; some every two weeks & some, when I pick up the phone & remind them to pay me.  I know, from experience, that there are no hard & fast rules as to collecting what's due.  It's whatever I can work out with each company.  When clients decide for whatever reason, that they don't have to/don't want to/can't afford to  pay me & I cannot get them to agree to a payment plan, then it's up to me & nobody but me, to decide what to do next.  Sometimes that means posting on SOT on Abstractor Watchdog.  I can vouch for the fact that posting here generally gets an immediate response from whoever is running the show at the company that isn't paying me & that, fortunately for me, as a result of posting here, I have been paid pretty expeditiously.
