DHL, etc. and get quotes. If they have been in your family, you don't want to let them go. It might cost a little, but would be less trouble and they would be insured should something happen to them.

You can file mail fraud charges, plus contact her
local police/sheriff department and file a claim. It may take you a while to get your money back, if ever, but she may go to jail.
fedex/usps
I have encountered this scenario as there are still "tapes" floating around out there. I have had docs and other professionals send me tapes by FedEx and United States Postal Service (next day) which is considerably cheaper than FedEx, and for security purposes I make sure that the items require a signature, and not that they are simply dropped on my doorstep. And upon return by email, I've used a variety of email programs and file transfers etc. and beyond encryption, you can also leave the patient info off in places where if the files were intercepted, there would be no names or social security numbers. So, while this may seem like an archaic way to still be doing business, not everyone is up to speed with FTPs or using digital recordings that can be more easily transferred. So, it comes to the point where you are just making sure that you and the doctor (or other such client) are doing your very best to keep security at top-notch. I know local transcriptionists who still have "lockboxes" on their doors or mailboxes for tape and document dropoff, and so it's not an entirely digital world yet, so we just have to do the very best we can with security with what we are dealing with. Good luck with your account, and I'm serious USPS (next day) is far cheaper than FedEx and works in most areas for daily deliveries, and will save you and your client a few pennies.

FedEx it overnight. It's insured and there when you arrive.
If Dr. not worried bout sending tapes FedEx,

I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.
My friend who works for them is having her mail go to her own account. She hates this new mail prog

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.
I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
Did anyone contact HR at MQ yet?
If anyone has yet contacted HR at MQ, please post underneath what was said to you. 
Be sure to contact the doc and tell him! nm

How can we contact you?
There is quite a bit of due diligence required if you are planning to seel a business. The "typical" selling price of a business is 3 years revenue, but that is also based very strongly on its profitability, but I do have a group of independent MTs who may be interested.
I would contact that QA or his/her
supervisor and ask them to relisten.
I would contact...
the person that makes this program. I have had good customer service from him. It s/l something might not be set up correctly perhaps but Vann Joe would probably give you some help/tips if you asked. He has always been very helpful when I have asked questions regarding his products.
I have been using MP Count for quite some time for counting by gross line, and find it quite accurate.
HTH some.
contact me
I would like to discuss this with you, please contact me at my email address.
Thanks
Nothing that big, he was not there when I tried to contact
about it, sent instant message. it was report that always goes under STAT and I think had to let someone read over some blanks. He contacted me that night and we talked about it and I got it ok but then I had follow up wrist slapping the next workday from the higher up than him. What I was wanting to know does this go on with others, first 1 boss, then another boss- felt like tattling in grammer school with this.
I came in contact with them (sm)
And they gave me the simplest *test* which was basically not even medical dictation, and they tell you that they will *train* you and then provide you with a job, but first you have to buy *their* software. Fortunately I did not fall for their scam, but others have said that after your *training* and they test you, you never really get good enough for placement. Please believe the other posters. It is a huge scam.
Get rid of them (and if you pay well, contact me! LOL) nm

I would contact whoever is over you....sm
And explain to them and let them see who is right and who is wrong. Some QAers may need to be corrected.
You can also contact (sm)
AccuSTAT, Inc. in Wisconsin. They posted an add several days ago on the Job Seeker's Board for an ER transcriptionist. They appear to have a really good reputation. 
Thanks I will contact them...
Does anyone know if it also works with Emdat Inscribe then?
You really need to contact your sm
prosecutor's fraud unit and see how they suggest you proceed. You really need to be careful in posting her name and address because since you are an IC and she the "debtor" you may be putting your self at the very least in violating debt collection laws - penalties are not cheap. I believe you posted this a few weeks ago, right? Did you send that formal demand with return receipt giving her a deadline to pay? That's the first thing they (authorities) will ask for. $16k plus is a HUGE chunk of change. I really think you will need to resort to legal matters to collect, and probably by judgment. I know it's frustrating, but posting her name and address on the internet is liable to cost you much more than the $16K.
Can someone please tell me how to contact IRS...
anonymously to report an MTSO who is dictatorial in setting schedule and pay? I'm literally SICK of this and I am going to DO something instead of complaining about it. Maybe if just one individual does something about these cheapo, demanding MTSOs, it will stop after time. Thanks for the info!
Please contact me at the below

Friendly HHS contact
I was wondering if anyone had the name and number or E-mail address of a friendly person at the Department of Health and Human Services? I have a couple quick short questions concerning the HIPAA regulations.
Thanks.
There's 2. Got the contact name or the state? nm

Contact lenses ? sm
 I got new contacts a couple months ago and am having trouble with them collapsing after a week or two of wear, making it really hard to get them in. I am beginning to believe they are making them softer so that we have to replace them more often. TIA
Contact lenses
If you take them out at night they will last forever. You shouldn't sleep with them in because the contact lens blocks the exchange of oxygen with your cornea. And besides, if you take them out, they are fresh and feel great in the morning when you put them in.
Does she have family you can contact?
I had a former coworker say something completely bizarre to me one day. It turned out she had an undiagnosed brain tumor and she passed away soon after. Saying things completely out of context can be signs of other neurological problems, early dementia, stroke. I have no first-hand experience with bipolar, though.
No pay/no contact/no work
Would it be appropriate to directly contact the accounts on which you work and speak to them directly about your situation? Or is that not kosher?
Wouldn't it be best to contact your
tax preparer? Like everyone, you have unique finances and a general answer here may not apply to your specific situation.
Why don't you contact an authority? Like your
It is amazing to see such serious questions posed here.

Contact your phone co., they may have some

12121212 can you contact me...(sm)
Click on "reply by email." I would like to talk to you about MT hospital work in Memphis area. I am new to the field and would like to learn more about it in our area. Thanks!
I was wondering if you kept in contact. You see
how the families say that sometimes and wonder if in fact they do.
Did they get a divorce because of the show? That would be a shame.
Also contact United Way
We were in a similar, very difficult situation a few years back. In desperation I called the United Way and they matched my family up with a company in our area that went out and shopped for my 4 kids. They bought everything on the list and even wrapped the gifts before delivering them. They left an envelope for me and my hubby with a $100 bill, a gift certificate for a Honey Baked ham and a grocery gift card. When I did my Christmas shopping at the store, they scanned the gift card - it was for $100! I started crying right in the store. I will never forget those angels on earth who saved Christmas for my kids and saved my faith in humanity. And, by the way, it is not too late! I didn't know help was available to people in trouble, so didn't call until 5 days before Christmas! They did all of this for us in just 5 days! Tell your friend there are many who have been where she is right now and she will get through it. There are many, many wonderful agencies and people who will help you, she just has to ask. I pray that your friend will get the help she needs.
Contact AAMT
I encourage you to contact AAMT and ask that your exam be reviewed. I do not know if that is possible or if they have a policy concerning same, but ask anyway.
I am so sorry that you had to experience "family stress" during exam time.
If you have a contact number, and you really
want the job, you may want to try that avenue. You can try to come off on the phone like you were just following up and being quite honest about it state that you intent is to be of bother, but you would love to join their team and help with the "new" account. Sometimes I think the companies looking get so involved with recruiting that they can get lost in that for a time. If it is clinic work, I have noticed that pretty much weekends do not really count, so I would try to stick to Monday-Friday as far as communications with them. Acute care accounts are a little different, I think, in that regard, as they are more apt to communicate on weekends since they usually require staffing as such. I hope this makes sense. Good luck in your endeavors.
contact expressscribe..sm
a lot of these programs were not ready for Vista yet. I would have waited at least a year before buying Vista due to just that reason. Personally maybe you should have found out of ExpressScribe was compatible with Vista prior to buying the laptop with it preinstalled. It would have saved a lot of hassle.
I would if you have contact number.
contact other MTs in your area to see if they need (sm)
Vacation coverage, etc. I have done this and actually acquired an account from someone who was retiring. One thing I can recommend besides *pounding the pavement* is just get yourself out there by maybe joining your local Women in Business or Chamber of Commerce or something in your area. Or any hospital functions, fundraisers, fairs, etc. You don't have to go with your whole resume or brochures in hand. Just get yourself out there with an open mind and you never know what might happen.
Also, when reading your local newspaper keep an eye out for announcements about doctors joining clinics, opening practices, etc. Also my paper has a *People in Business* section. Check it out.
But other than that, 18+ years is a lot of experience and since you are very good, well I cannot imagine any company turning you away for whatever schedule you wanted.
Contact Mr. Cummins......
at Twenty-First Century Research in San Diego at 1-800-563-5418. He has a lot of used PC-Dart stuff, and I think still sells refurbished units. I sent him my old TTU, along with dictation cards, about a year ago. He is your best bet for problems with PC-Dart. Good luck!!
If you are an employee you can contact
the Labor Board. You can send company a certified letter requesting payment within 10 days. You can file a complaint with the BBB and/or the attorney general.
You need to contact US Immigration (sm)
I would not do anything before you find out if it is okay first. You could jeapordize your case. The US Immigration has a 1-800 number you can call. Also, you could ask an attorney.
I did contact my QA supervisor and
she states that she has sent an email to all of QA to make them aware. But that has been said before and each QA person continues to do something different.
Did you contact McAfee??? They may
be able to help.
ICs in contact with others MTs from the same company
Do any ICs working for a company have the ability to speak with other MTs at the same company? I thought if I could just talk to other MTs working on the same account as me, I would have a better understanding as to whether or not the account is difficult or if I just need more experience.
