FYI Richard is still up to his old tricks of not paying invoices on time.

I have several that are over 100 days and nothing but promises cheque in the mail, cheque going the mail and can get on Friday.

Beware.
 
I've been dealing with Roxane, she is a bit better, she says check goes out but than it sits in there office for about 3 weeks. Regular payments come at 100 days...
 
Thanks for the info...will keep close eye on them & try not to get the account too high.

2 invs on the acct avg $500 each (March & April) - chq promissed this week
 
Be very cautious with the credit amounts you extend this company. There is quite a long history on the forum - do a search and read for yourself.

Then make a decision - whether it's worth waiting 4/5 months to be paid - for a load in which all your expenses pertaining to it were paid after 30 days.

I agree with Accounts Receivable, Kathleen. You might consider holding off doing any more business with them until you get those invoices paid. There have been threads about Over the Road going on for years...and none of them are very positive.
 
Send me your company name, instead of slandering Over The Road, and I will make sure a check goes out ASAP

Thanks, Mike

Seriously???

It shouldn't come to people having to take time out of their busy workday to post on this wonderful website JUST to get you to cut a cheque - and this is after first calling and calling your company without getting any results.

You don't want Over The Road slandered? It's easy - Pay Your Bills!

Just saying...
 
Wow, I don't see any slandering going on here. Just members conversing about Blondie's 100+ days invoices that she would like paid.
 
I don't think I am the only one who considers this excellent website to be a "course of last resort" when it comes to collecting old invoices. If the problem can't be resolved through normal procedures like e-mail, telephone calls, office visits, etc. then why not tell the other members about your experience? As well, a discussion about tardy payment trends can hardly be described as slander.
 
I'd be very curious to hear about the timeline associated with ASAP..... to me ASAP means today.... everyone has 2-3 minutes to spare in their day, and "as soon as possible" to me means, as soon as I finish my current task on my plate, I will deal with your task....

Keep us all posted when you actually receive the chq.

OTR: If you need a courier company to guarantee delivery within 90 minutes of booking time for this cheque up to 75 km's away, A&B Courier can ensure your cheque is fully track-able in case Blondie wanted to track her cheque while in transit. Not sure if people are willing to trust that its "in the mail" If you have a number of late payments and which to negotiate a deal for bulk cheque deliveries to your vendors, we can work out a deal! But you'd have to prepay of course!
 
I think "slander" is a pretty heavy word to use in this case since slander involves making a false statement. Since several people are experiencing the same behavior by this company, it cannot, therefore, be "false" information. If we're going to get technical, slander (in regards to law) is "defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc.". Libel is the word you were looking for as it pertains to written defamation, just to be clear.....

FYI here is the definition of the word SLANDER:a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report
so if you are paying your bills in a timely fashion, then yes you are being slandered. If, as they say, they have been waiting 100 days or more for payment, then it is by no definition SLANDER
 
FYI

I did not pick up any cheque for what is outstanding for us. We still have invoices that are now 107 days old.

I did call and left a message for you before posting this.

meyers1469,

As per the original thread post - Blondie's account and their receivables are still owing. "Blondie" has nothing to do with O'Conners. As per my private message to you on Monday.

The issue with Blondie is still pending and unresolved. When that member is paid in full for their 100+ day old invoices - an update by that member will be posted here.
 
Following your threads & comments. Acct was put on HOLD as invoices of 79 & 58 days remain unpaid...chq in signing last week, promised t/b mailed last week was not mailed let alone issued. Is t/b issued today. To follow ...
