They are on my "credit hold" list. Thankfully I only got swindled for one invoice.
This is just a sad state of affairs. What can we do about this?? I have to believe there is some kind of movement we as abstractors can start!! How many of us are there on this forum alone?? The amount of monies I have owing me that I don't expect to get paid for is INSANE! True, a portion of it is my fault (fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me), but when you have a client who has an excellent payment history, who racks up $20K in two months then all-of-a-sudden stop paying, it kind of defies anything I feel I should have done to prevent it. It's like we abstractors have to have a crystal ball to determine who is a scum-bag and who isn't. I have NEVER failed to pay my abstractors or any of my other bills, even with all these clients failing to pay me--why can't other companies be held to the same standard??? Isn't there some kind of boycott or across-the-board standard we could somehow set up for our industry? I am sooooo frustrated by this.
