That was quick, Tom. Nov 11, 2012

Thank you.

I hope it also works in my case. I made an entry in the BB as well to warn others.

Have a nice Sunday.

Yes... Nov 11, 2012

... twice, a few years ago. I got paid very quickly after that.

I hope it will work equally well for you, Gudrun.

...is that if the non-payer offers to pay, in exchange for you removing your negative BB comment, agree. Then when you receive payment, add an *even more negative* BB comment.

That kind of dishonesty + blackmail on the part of a non-payer deserves the most severe response.

Another yes Nov 11, 2012

I was paid the next day.

And with Tom fully on the blackmail aspect.

Another yes for Tom Nov 11, 2012

... because it worked, every time.

The problem is how the WWA options are phrased. I would definitely work for any of those problematic payers any time... if only they paid me cash in advance!

Most of them had extremely pleasant and professional PMs, however their accounts payable department was thoroughly nonfunctional.

Thank you, Gudrun, for raising this question.

Thus far I haven't sent such a report, but I will do it now based on our colleagues' positive reponses.

And I fully agree with Tom. Bad business conduct merits... negative BB entries.

Once. And I got paid very fast after that

I'm sure it will work in your case as well. Good luck!

I only reported in excessive cases, three up to now. One company paid in full 18 months later and without relationship with the complaints. They are doing fine now. From what other translators told, I understand that they now have inhouse translators and do not subcontract anymore (they can't!).

The second one paid me after a long while, but I was one of the luckiest ones, several dozens of translators are still waiting. They took them to court. The BB was very useful here, because they could contact each other.
The third company went bankrupt, so payment will be impossible.

Interesting, Nov 11, 2012

Christela.

Yes, a BB entry is always useful sooner or later.

By the way, this agency has a few entries, all of them being positive (5) - up to now.
