No Check, No more work!

Sorry, I have to rant....

I have a contract with a Real Estate Company. I get a check at the end of every month for doing their vehicles.
99% of the time, I turn in the bill about 1/2-1 week early so I can get my check in a timely manner.

Well, I still have not been paid for October yet, and here we are WELL into November. I turned the bill in like I always do, a week early. I keep getting told the check will be written out tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. I went last Monday to pick it up, only to be told it will be ready Friday. WTH.

Friday comes, I go in, no check. Saturday, no check. Today, no check. I got fed up today. I told the secretary, whom says sorry to me all the time, even though it has nothing to do with her, to call and ask where my check was. She did, no answer.

I told her to tell him that I will not be doing their cars until I get my check, and now, I need the check at the beginning of the month before work is started. (I wash 4 every week)

I am tired of getting called 2-3 times a week to wash cars, even though I washed them already that week. Then ever get a check to top it off. I have been doing their cars for about a year and a half now.....

Sorry, I am just pissed off and had to rant.

carry on....

Understand. It sounds like a company in trouble. Hope you get it.
Different subject, did you ever get your money from the GI that bought your generator?

Considering the market, they pry don't have any money lol. Do you know what their current sales are for properties? That would give you an idea of whether money is there or not.

As Surfer offered, they are "all" in trouble and the perks have stopped quickly in that industry in hopes to keep the business above board.
