This invoice is paid and was paid in the manner that we pay all of our abstractors, which they agree to at the time of service. We are a nation wide organization with over 250 abstractors on our payroll and we process payment on a larger scale then some of our smaller competitors.  If our payment arrangements don't work for some of our smaller vendors, we always accept requests for modification of our process because we value their product.  We have made many alternate payment arrangements with some of our best vendors who have decided to work with us and communicate their needs to us professionally.  We have always recognized that part of the backbone of our organization is the experienced, reputable network of physical abstractors we have partnered with and we work very diligently to insure they are paid in an efficient, accurate manner that works best for all parties involved. 

That being said, threatening and extremely unprofessional emails to the president of our organization two weeks after submitting a search is not the kind of bullying we respond to. We have unfortunately had to weed through some terrible examples of abstract professionals to make connections with those interested in building a valuable partnership with our organization.
