Slowest Paying MS Company

I went to check up marketing website today and they are SUPPOSE to cut their checks in 30 days and mail them out. Sent a message to the scheduler today but have heard nothing from them. Funny that when I needed to ask a question about the shop before I did it they sent me a message back with in a few minutes.

More About Payment

GOODMAN Up to know I have not received 2 shops done last year, I always have to email them before to recieve payment. I think this will be my last doing shops with them.

ATH too I've encountered problems because the dental shops I did the Dental office never got there check. Therefore my credibility suffered so I declined the second wave of dental shops because of this.

I want to add About Face to the list. They have had trouble last year with payments. They sent out emails stating things had turned around. I did a couple of jobs but it took more than two months and they sent partial payment. I had to remind them of the other work I did in order to get paid.

I have had problems in the past with Goodman Assoc and even Bestmark. I had a very expensive dinner thru Bestmark and it took several months to get paid - I actually filed a complaint with BBB to get my money and of course, they dropped me.

I'm 100% the opposite. The bank shops that I routinely do have very minimal reports, and I've never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for any bank shop. Word of advice, do bank shops between 1:30-3:30 (unless restricted otherwise). People generally tend to bank either in the morning, during their lunch break, or on their way home from work. From about 1:30-3:30, banks are all but ghost towns.

Franchise compliance recently listed jobs in my area but I cannot get anyone to respond to my requests for payment. Freeman is really slow but they keep you informed.

I agree with Goodwin being slow. I had to wait for October and November shops in 2009 to be paid in April 2010. I do not shop for them anymore. I shop for 7 other companies that pay very timely, including intellishop!

Franchise compliance is horrible in not paying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I received an email from Checkup on April 12. Here's the info:

"Sorry for the delay...Accounting is processing checks and will go within two weeks.

Thanks for turning in your receipts. Below are the shops that I have received receipts for",

When I registered on his site, I saw the prior message that he had left for the shoppers about the payments. I immediately knew he would be running in arrears, but I took that step in faith. Sometimes, you have to do that in order to help the little guy. It's like walmart being CRI and Checkup being a mom & pop store.

I don't shop at walmart.

I have done 2 for Franchise compliance. One took 4 months to pay, and the other I did at the beginning of this month, and after reading this forum went to check my status. It says I will be paid at the end of June, but I was bonused $10 with a $9 reimbursed expense. I may have hesitated to take it if I had read this first. The first shop I did the business that I shopped was closed and they gave me $ 5.00 for a phone call. I had just about forgotten about it actually. I don't know if I would do many shops for them, but I like the pay, and financing $9 for 2 months isnt too bad... Wont take a Freeman or anymore Goodwin shops...

Where did you see a message for shoppers about payment?

Yes, I saw that same message when I signed up too. But I just thought it was a reminder for the shoppers when they would be paid. That was last year and I believe they would be getting there checks in November or December???? Who knows. No checks in my mail box for January.
