have you contacted them about the bill? How many times and what methods have you tried to contact them?

I had a case where a client did not pay for a shoot I did for them. I sent them an invoice each month, a special letter with each invoice AND I called and emailed many times.

After 6 months I sent them a registered letter indicating that I would seek a Small claims court judgement against them. They paid up promptly then with apologies.

Don't just rush to court, the judges want to see that you made reasonable attempts to collect your money before you filed your claim.

I don't recommend the collection agencies unless you have a LOT of deadbeats or you have a judgement and only need to collect...and only use a collection agency if the amount is over Ten Grand.

RRACY 08-03-2009 09:49 AM

In short, I've contacted them many times in the last 7 weeks without a response. Nice follow up. Hopefully it won't go that far.

No check, no email from nichebucks. Since most photogs have abandoned my thread, I am asking for help in the form of bumps from affiliates and anyone else. If Bill from Nubiles can push the button a few times, so can many others.:2 cents:

For sure, but I'm trying to stay positive. That said, I've exercised an extraordinary level of patience with this jerk around forced upon me.:ugone2far

Today is 6 months. Still nothing.:eek7

Well, we've been burnt before by webmasters long before the economic recession and all I can say is from that moment forward we would go under contract and get paid up front... No pay, no content... This puts the burden of responsibility on you to pony up the materials, and you're protected, the risk then is with the webmaster as so it should be as they're the ones making all the $ off your content. So collect for 2-3 shoots first, then deliver, if they want to move forward, collect for more, etc, and use the farmers market method... Sucks that rich douche-bags blow off good artists!

Looks like a dead program.

Good luck collecting your debt anyway.

Matyko 08-14-2009 08:26 AM

Is this case resolved properly?

AdultHardcore 08-14-2009 08:39 AM

Thank sucks! I hope you get your money!

rokstarz 08-14-2009 08:46 AM

Bump for your money.

Maybe it's time for programs to start securing contracts with select shooters. This freelance model is obviously coming apart at the seems in these tough economic times. Maybe take a page from other business models where manufacturers secure long term contracts from proven suppliers.

It looks like they'll be paying the $1950 they owe me. I will post when the check clears.

JP-pornshooter 08-21-2009 02:56 PM

i have somewhere around $20k outstanding with a few different programs.
with a few exceptions, my policy is that i dont shoot any new content for the program until the last shoot has been paid.. with some programs it can literally be months before i shoot for them again...
