Bargain for payment due? Anyone else get this?
Received this e-mail today....
"Hello Ray,
I have been doing some “spring cleaning” in the accounting department, trying to stay organized and on top of all our payments. I have found many of our invoices without pay stubs, and have inquired about them with our escrow officers. Some of the escrow officers are very fast in responding, others may take a while to research payments.
However, I hate to keep you waiting any longer for payment, so I have a couple options for you to choose. I can either, send a check now for a print and trip fee ($60) until I hear back from the escrow officer, in which case, depending on if the signing actually closed or not, I could send you the remainder of the payment or call it even. Or, you can choose to wait on payment all together, until I hear back from the escrow officer.
Please let me know how you would like me to handle your payment. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and patience!
Thank you,
Name removed- Bookkeeper"
Pay me for print and trip fee for a loan they know good and well funded without a problem.
This invoice is at 25 days but they now want to bargain over the payment. They have found a new way to get a better deal. This would amount to a $45 signing and $25 print fee.
I plan on calling them tomorrow to let them know I do not plan to settle for this fes.

Well, I would tell them that I expect payment for the agreed upon fee listed on the confirmation.
Any correspondence you send them be sure you send it return recept requested so you get a signature. Send the demand for payment like you would any other deadbeat 30, 60, or 90 days. I let them know that after 90 days, it is my policy for the account to go to small claims or collection ...
Good Luck
