help how do I handle this?

I was hired as a subcontractor to close a loan at the first of July. The original folks were paid before the end of that month and I can not get them to pay me. They claimed they had to wait until some checks came in!?! Any suggestions on getting my moula from them, I have done several for them before but now they are acting like they are mad at me for some reason for inquiring about the amount owed. It is almost as if they are punishing me for asking about it!!

Did they send you email documents? Do you still have them on your computer? If so find the HUD and you will see the title company or the settlement companies name on there. Send them a demand letter. They are very simple to write...give them 2 days to respond to you and write that you need to receive payment in 5 days or you are contacting the title company on the HUD. Start the letter by saying "This is a demand for payment letter for the following services that I performed for your company....." Put a delivery confirmation and read request on your email that you send to them. Go to the post office and have a tracking number put on the letter that it was delivered.

July is way too long to wait for payment. Obviously, do not work for them again. You need to be the one acting angry....not the other way around. Their excuse is BS.

Sorry to say that some people feel the best defense is a strong offense. Don't let that get to you. If you did the work; they should pay as agreed. Period. You also might try a search for "collections". There has been lots of good info posted here over time.
