It's not only the small outfits that pay late! I just collected over $3,000 from a "heavy hitter" mortgage company, and this was in payment for a collection of invoices which date back to last July! I'm talking BIG, SUCCESSFUL Company! Of course they got angry because I wanted to get paid so they aren't sending me anymore work. Then another very large, successful company didn't pay for 3-4 appraisals until 4 months later. I mean, these are the BIG GUYS!! In both cases, these were the excuses...........
1)Oh, our Accounts Payable is undergoing some changes
2)Oh, they moved our Accounts Payable to Texas and are regrouping
3)Oh, did you put loan numbers on your invoices?
4)Oh, we have a new person heading up Accounts Payble now
5)Oh, did you send an invoice with your report?
6)Oh, we have an excellent Accounts Payable Dept. Are you sure you sent your invoice to the correct address?
7)Oh, My!!! (the loan officer said) You should have notified me that our company owes you money. We ALWAYS pay our appriasers. And, NONE Of MY other appraisers have complained.
To get paid by heavy hitter #1, I worked with the local office first, then called and wrote the main office in the same state, then called and wrote the big accounts payable in Texas. As a last ditch effort I called the REALLY big guys in Cleveland. The guy in Cleveland promised me a check within 4 days and he kept his promise.
