The man was asked to communicate with the abstractors that were owed money...it was done.  What other company has stepped forward in such a manner?

To improve communications the company set up a special forum for those that are owned money.  What other company has done this?

When asked for a plan on how the back invoices were going to be paid...it was done.  Not everyone was excited about the plan and had their own ideas for the plan, but a plan was presented...and it is their company to work through their financial problems.  What other company has come public and shared their plan for getting back on track?

They picked April 2006 to work forward and backward from.  No matter what date was picked there were going to be people who were not going to be happy about. 

Continual negative posts is not going to help anyone, if you already have a opinion about CRS then it won't change no matter what they do. 

Suggestions presented in a positive manner I am sure will be considered, but who would want to listen to bashing all the time?

Sue them if you wish, drive them out of business and most likely get nothing or see if their plan works.  Yes we all have food to put on the table and need to be dilligent on our collections, not wait until it is too large, it is a part of doing business, the risk of bad debt, every business faces it.  Good companies, as well as bad, large and small go out of business everyday. 

Never work for them again, your choice, your business. 

I am not parading to or for CRS, but remeber CMS, when they just decided to leave everyone high and dry? (or broke)...and Bridgespan?  No notice, no warning, just disappeared.

Give the plan a couple months to see if it works.  If it does great, abstractors get paid and CRS employees remain employeed.  If not the invoices that haven't paid remain that way without any additional loses and CRS will not have anyone doing work for them.

If and when you do get paid will you be willing to come back and post you got paid...possibley thank them for not cutting and running?

We, as abstractors, want to be consider professionals, but is this how professionals post on public forums for our clients to see?

...and yes CRS owes us money as well and I am willing to see if the plan works.
