They clearly can't afford designers... some of their site tours look like they are from 1998. Shame, their content would convert otherwise.

Doesn't he have some big profile on omp? That's so silly to bail on one shoot unless he did it to many others.

The purpose of this thread is to force the issue of non-payment. There is no dispute of them owing me for one shoot.

Shame.....I have at least the next 12 updates already shot....Just busted a nut in a hoe's ass less than a half hour ago.

damn thats messed

Got a link to that?

bad news ..not good at all

Nothing came up for allstarcontent but two for allstarphotography. The only way a link will come up is if you're logged in. I could be mistaken about remembering them but maybe not.

Sunday mornings are good times for bumps.:thumbsup

So are Sunday evenings :thumbsup

Bump for you, good luck.

50 unpaid shoots

Thanks for the bumps guys...:thumbsup

Bump for the night crew

Burp...:glugglug

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.

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.

that sounds like good advice, thanks for sharing.

Bump........

Thanks J...

and another:winkwink:

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:

Bump for ya

to the top

Here's a bump for you, I hope you get your money!!!

Hope you get paid man.

Here is another bump

Thanks a bunch guys...:D

sucks :Oh crap

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

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.

Sites are still up for me.

Ouch.

another bump for you

Bump for you to get paid.

thump bump

Thanks, ladies and gents...:winkwink:

Is this case resolved properly?

Thank sucks! I hope you get your money!

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.
