I foolishly took an assignment from them in July.
Last week, in the aftermath of a hurricane and in the midst of an 8-day power outage, they called me wanting to renegotiate the fee. I lost my temper, but was mostly mad at myself. I knew they would try this as I saw some others on here talk about it. I took the signing in a weak moment when I didn't have anything else going on. I figured I'd probably get paid eventually.
The pitch is so dumb, "I just heard form the 'accounting department' and we really didn't make any money on this signing. Can you help us out and take a lower fee? We've got lots of business to send your way if you can work with us".
Does anyone agree to take a lower fee? They must laugh their butts off when they find a sucker big enough to take their signing and then agree to a lower fee. (I'm sure some of you are laughing your butts off at me for taking the assignment at all, but that's ok.)
