once filed, both parties must appear at small claims

court. If party that didn't pay doesn't show, then a judgment will be made against them. If the person filing the complaint in small claims doesn't show, it will be thrown out.

Take her to small claims court. Good luck!
nn
I am filing a small claims action this week.
Have one doctor that I had problems with and only typed for him foer three months. He was unethical but then he felt that I should not charge for anything that was not actually typed, i.e. if he did a normal exam, etc. So we had a falling out and he owes me $200 and he has threatened fraud against me, etc. But I told him he could not bully me and that we would leg small claims court settle the matter. Am giving him a three day notices sent in a signed reeturn receipt and if he does not pay I will go to court. So if you are an IC that is your course of action. I work directly for the doctor, if you are with a service and you know the docs that you are typing for, can tell your MTSO you are informing them that they do not pay their IC's and you will not longer be able to work or provide services, but that depends if you signed a contract and stated you would not have any contact with the accounts. My first suggestion, write a last demand letter and outline that you will file small claims court proceedings and send a copy of that to their accounts.
Good luck.
I hope you sued in small claims court! -(nm)
WAIT! Before this gets further out of hand with the nay-sayers on here, talking about small claims
that, have you tried talking to them about a different account? They are pretty easy to work with, not impossible like the one I left that starts with M and ends with Q. (kind of)
Complaint filed
I think we all should go online and fill out the complaint form and mail it in along with a copy of all the complaints on this site. I would love to see that disrespectful SOB do some jail time.
I just filed complaints to the IRS..........SM
and sent copies of some of these job ads asking for ICs and listing a shift. I am fed up and sick and tired of this.
Insurance claims
Did anybody else receive their check from Medscribe NJ for the insurance claim typing yet?
filed for partial unemployment
I don't know completely your situation, but a few years ago, I filed for partial unemployment while employed at a service b/c the workload was extremely sparse and did receive it. When I filed, I also went looking for a new job and found one within a month.
My suggestion like others is to start looking now for a new job, but if the workload is low, you could possibly get partial unemployment now until a new job is found. Every state is different, so you would have to check with the unemployment office in your state regarding benefits, insurance, etc. Good luck in your search!
I "thought" that if you filed in your jurisdiction
naming her jurisdiction as the jurisdiction that handled it that courts would send it to that jurisdiction and have them handle it. It seems I did that once, but I could be wrong. I sure would not want to tell her wrong.
Anyhow, it is still possible to do that and not have to leave the house other than to get that paperwork to the proper court. Do not let her get away with it.
hope you have filed for temporary
alimony and support, even TX has temporary alimony. good luck.
Update - saw my attorney and filed for
Two people at the unemployment office told me I have every right to claim unemployment. My attorney looked over my contract and apparently the owner didn't cover all her avenues and he found a loophole and told me to file. BTW - one of the ladies at the unemployment office told me they are seeing more and more MTs filing.
There are also traveling claims examiners. (sm)
While I never experienced anything like Kforce, I did experience my share of changes working for several temp agencies that hired medical claims processors that travel. The pay was always on time, they paid for the hotel and the rental car, gave us a weekly "per diem" allowance each week for meals, gas, etc. BUT, some of the people they hired on these assignments would send chills down your spine. You had people using the rental cars to transport drugs, using gas money to buy crack, fighting in the hotels, setting the apartments on fire accidentally, arguing with roommates over who would do the dishes, sexually harassing coworkers on the same assignments, the list is endless. Not only that, but after awhile, as a traveler, you get tired of living out of a suitcase and rushing to catch flights and running through airports like O.J. Simpson in a Hertz rental car commercial. For all of those reasons, I decided to come in off the road and work at home. Also, there was one agency that didn't pay for the hotel or the rental car. The manager told us that sometimes we'd have to "whip out that credit card!" and pay for everything, and they would reimburse us. I didn't do it, and they ended up paying for my hotel and car, but I worked with some coworkers that were owed $10,000 in hotel and car expenses, and were still waiting to be reimbursed because the manager said he had he had the receipts in his suitcase. Some travelers had maxed out their credit cards paying for hotel and car expenses. So, bottom line is, travelers go through a lot, and it's not as glamourous as it sounds (not by a long shot).
All of the above poster's claims are true
Ditto to everything above. AWESOME place to work. Transtech takes me back 10 years, when this profession was respected, valued, and actually enjoyable.
Glad I'm not the only one who saw how ridiculous those claims were. :-) sm
No wonder MT wages are going down. We have dufuses out there making 2/3 what they were and thinking they are ahead! 
Anyone filed a complaint after not receiving a paycheck? sm
Stopped working at Breitner 3 months ago. I never received my last paycheck, and the one before that was short by $100. They owe me about $1,000 total. I am not counting the 30% trimmed off my line counts for 8 straight weeks in Extext to cover headers and footers when it really only equals 5 to 8 lines. Has anyone ever filed with the labor board on them? Just asking because I have read posts on here that they threaten & just want to see what I am in for if I do file. 
I got mine almost a week ago and already filed. You might want to call them.

Has anyone filed bankruptcy, had a credit report
I give up :(. I'm going to file bankruptcy but I'm concerned I won't be employable after that with another MTSO (or any other company; they almost all require credit reports these days).

I keep mine filed per year with my taxes.
In the event of an audit, I believe they can go back 7 years.
P.S. - If your company has filed form SS-8 ask for a copy.
If they won't give it to you, see if you can get it from the IRS; I believe you can.
And, of course you can still file your own SS-8 even if the company has filed it. I'm not saying an MTSO would LIE on the form they file, but anyone can make a MISTAKE...
The only thing wrong with this is that the claims are false. sm
I have been with KS for 3 years. I am treated fairly. I was also the lead for the person who is named as the person putting in the lawsuit. That person was fired for quality issues and is obviously trying to get even with the company.
Lawsuits can be filed. Filing one or having one out there does not mean that the company is guilty. If that was the case, there would be no reason for a case to be filed; you could basically just send a company a bill for whatever you want.
OK, there is ONE person who claims they make money with VR.
Anyone else?? Hello?
Thought not.
I just filed 2007 taxes for gross income of $52,341.

That's right. Back up your claims with facts, not with lunatic remarks.
Step up to the plate and post in more of a professional manner. Otherwise, it serves no real purpose. MTStars was not created for people to come only to post their personal smear campaign.
I am finding them to be great. I have had a few major claims since they changed to them. sm
Everything has been covered. My meds have been covered. My claims have been paid quickly. I paid my deductible and everything else has been covered, totalling over $12,000. I am very happy with Guardian.

Small MTSO
I am a small MTSO and I have two part timers that work for me. I try to allow them to make a good living but there are costs of running a business. I do the pick up and deliveries, I print, I buy the paper, toners, etc. I do the invoicing. I do the customer service. I do the QA, etc. So when I make 2 to 3 cents a line, that is sometimes barely $5 to $7 an hour after gas, paper, etc. I keep my line charge reasonable -- 0.11 to 0.12 and that allows me to pay 0.8 cents per line. But if my gals use their brains to use word expanders, templates, etc. they can make $16 to $24 an hour (200 to 300 lines per hour) which to me is fair. I pay them on time often first and sometimes wait for the check to come in. But you guys we do not make a lot when subcontracting out. But if a document is 400 lines I make $8 to $12 for the report and that is before all my expenses. So we are not jiving any of you.
Small companies
Please list the names of some small companies. I need to get out of a big national but don't know where to turn. Thanx.
To Small MTSO
No suggestions here except to keep up the great work and appreciation for your team.
I agree, don't waste your time on the ignorant's on this board that think everyone is out to screw the MT...it's a sad fact, but there are some who just have such blackened lenses to see through. It sounds like you really appreciate your team and there are more employers out there like you, really there are.

Well, I've online over 10 years and on boards/forums and SM means small message versus NM meaning no message versus LM meaning long message.

Three small accounts that I do by myself..sm
I do not do any type of billing for the accounts, just do the work like regular work that I download from the company...so I think that would be a good reason for a raise. But, I don't want to say anything to make them think twice otherwise because these accounts that I have are really good. Does that make sense?
Must be a small company
It is a small company. Sorry if you're not impressed with my work. It works for me. I could do over 1,000 if I wanted to, but this suits me. I have another part time job that supplies me with income also.
and that is only a small part of the
problems they have. Communication is nil, rude people to deal with, and total chaos.
Small companies not for me
I have worked for both and I think that small companies are very, very particular. Not that that is a bad thing, but ZERO room for error (everyone knows perfection is impossible 100% of the time). So if you can QA at 100% every single time with a national, a small company would be perfect for you. In all of my experience my lowest QA score was a 99.2 with nationals. Small company just made me feel extremely inadequate. That is one thing about communication with a small company, you can start feeling attacked for very (and I mean very) minor things.
HTH.

maybe ... small MTSOs can go either way .. sm
pay small because they are small ... or pay well, and say they appreciate quality work, and joke with you about other MTs they have on their payroll ..... and then you realize they are probably making the same remarks about you behind your back too.

see above post, it got posted in the wrong spot somehow.
