I've been producing videos and providing photography services for some time now.
Along the way, I've had to come across bad ass companies and delays in payment.
These have always come from small to medium sized local companies :bsmilie:
Here are some actual stuff I've experienced... Anybody care to add to the list :bsmilie:
1. Your Cheque is in the mail.
Means: Don't call any more
2. You mean you still never receive your cheque?"
Means: I BS you the last time... next month then really send you.
3. It is our company policy. Client don't pay us, we don't pay you.
Means: We will pay you when we happy.
4. So sorry, we did not receive your invoice.
Means: I receive, just not gonna pay yet. Send another invoice and we see how.
5. So sorry, we lost your invoice.
Means: I receive, just not gonna pay yet. Send another invoice and we see how.
6. Although we used your videos we feel they are unsatisfactory so we have to hold payment.
Means: We don't feel like paying you even though we used your materials and delivered to customer already.
7. You have to abide with our company's payment terms from now on.
Means: See number (3)
8. We no longer have budget for professional photographers. You can continue to shoot our events but it'll be for free and you have to give us copies of the photos.
Means: They discovered Clubsnap :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:
