If you search the posts, I think the Company board, you will find that the monies paid to AAMT
for CMT/RMT cerifications are being used to offer "India" rates to workers in India to test for their CMT/RMT cerifications. I REFUSE TO BELONG TO SAID ORGANIZATION AND I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MY HARD-EARNED FUNDS TO HELPING INDIANS GET CREDENTIALED.
If it's a business letter you use a colon. if it's a personal letter you use a comma. nm

Any agency you use should be licensed and bonded.
and always to check to make sure that's really the case because some tell you they are when they are not, just to save money on the fees and make themselves appear more credible and trustworthy.
Merry Maids is a good start!
As far as creditors, once you signed up with the agency, they have sm
NO CHOICE but to work with the creditors and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT calls from them. There are plenty of laws on the books protecting people like you. You need to contact your agency ASAP and tell them which creditors are harrassing you (yes, that is what they are doing if you cannot afford to pay them), and quit talking to them. Trust me on this one. My husband and I years back got into a major bind and worked with a credit agency where we learned about a lot of laws.
So, we began writing our own cease and desist letters directing them to our agency or saying "we want to deal with the original creditor and not YOU", i.e., capital one, etc., and they left us alone. We cleared out debt and it's been pleasant ever since.
So, you have fallen upon rough times. We all have. You HAVE options. You can keep your house and you can have phone call-free days.
You are doing the RIGHT thing by using an agency instead of filing for bankruptcy. Too many people are filing because they see no end, but there are ways to avoid bankruptcy. Plenty of ways.
Good luck
It is JAHCO and having worked for a gov't agency
with rules also in place - there was a 5-day rule to have your interview dictated - although they then wanted typed within 7 days - the biggie was having dictated w/i 5 days so would be fresh in the mind of the dictator - and think that sort of applies here too... obviously H&P needs to be dictated so patient can be admitted and paper work started but in my mind thinking OP needs to be dictated STAT while still fresh in mind of doctor before he forgets a lot of the details! There are also safety issues obviously - H&P first, any consult next before surgery so surgeon can have all the facts, but just because dictated does not mean MT has to kill herself to get it done - what is that saying about 'your incompetence is not my emergency'............Or something like that????
This gov't agency does not prohibit offshoring,
that is, it was not explicitly or implicitly stated in the RFP. But I have a feeling they knew by the ridiculously low price that the "C" company was funny business. My company did state in its cover letter that the agency should inquire of other vendors whether they offshore work.
Anyway, my company is not going to protest because the contract went to, I have to say, a great competitor. Frankly, we don't want to be bothered because the agency made prospective vendors jump through hoops of fire for a small amount of work each month (IMO and exp).
2 words - collection agency
Technically speaking you have to use a collection agency of some sort for a certain amount of time before being able to write it off as a bad debt. Yeah, they take like 30% sometimes if they collect the debt but 70% is better than 0%. I have done it. I have had to do it twice. One i had to write off and the other I got paid. You will have to have some proof of billing and your trying to communicate with them. I would even send them a registered letter via mail and give them 7 days or you will turn them over to collections. Add a nice fat late charge to that...i dunno 30% or so. hee hee. :)
What agency can help me with a co. who consistently underpays me....sm
then says they will have to make it up on the next paycheck. This has gone on for over a year now, with so few checks correct that it just boggles my mind. I just want to know who I can contact to make this company pay me correctly. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
Can you send it to a collection agency?
Is there any way you could send this to a collection agency?  I don't know if it would work for this, but I know that some places that give out equipment (like Direct TV, etc.) has in their contracts that the quipment is only for as long as you have the service and must be returned to them as it's still their property.
I know it's not the same thing, but it seems like this would fall into that category as it was assumed that it's still your equipment and they were only allowed to use it as they were working for you.
I agree that it's stealing. You wouldn't go into an office and just take equipment home from there, so what gives you the right to take it from a company via mail?
Has anyone ever worked for a temp agency? sm
I am thinking of working for a temp agency for extra income. I am trying to find out what kind of testing do they do.

That's what I'm thinking, too. Our agency told us to refer ALL creditors to them
and they were awesome. I'm thinking she doesn't have a good one, either. She definitely needs to call them or switch agencies, like the one you mentioned, to help her.
if the child is adorable and has charisma, i would take him to a professional modeling agency.
if they see something in him, they will pay to train him and do the photos for free as they will make money on him. if they aren't willing to do this or they want to charge you, i would think he is just like millions of other children, adorable but not so much that an agency would hire him as is. most models are "discovered" because of their charisma/beauty and don't go through the costs involved to get photos, etc. the agencies do it for them because they see potential.
What about your local hospitals, Manpower, employment agency, Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. nm

Could your hubs become a patient of a home health care agency and then you could work for them

I work for an agency, type for a major hospital - no hourly wage - just production. nm

Whatever it takes
to remove yourself from that situation within reason, do it. If you think the arrangement with your brother is going to keep your BF from slinking back in, the 'brother' all the way. If his habits change in the future, you'll just have to make necessary adjustments at that time.
Takes one to know one!
I am with the program and I enjoy very much working for MQ!
If people are not spoiled at MQ, then why on earth are they now complaining about having a set schedule? Why don't you get the with the program and look at all the companies that are hiring and when you realize that 90% of those companies want a set schedule, then I will be waiting here for an apology. Until then, go brush your teeth!
As far as being a dope, why the heck are YOU STILL WITH MQ IF THE SUPPOSEDLY TOOK ADVANTAGE OF YOU - HMMMM????
As many as it takes! LOL
If the doctor dictating can't be bothered to dictate away from the gossiping females at the nurses' station, speak clearly and slow down, why should we lose money because they're inconsiderate? It's better than guessing and getting it wrong or just making stuff up. You'll get the hang of the more difficult dictators if you keep on doing them, but even they can't control background noise or static.
you have what it takes to be and are sm
a successful MT! I don't see how anyone could be a good MT with an interest in medicine. Too much of this business about how many lines to type nowadays etc and no interest in medicine, no wanting to do research etc. I have seen several folks like you in my career and hired every one of them. They are still transcribing today and have great careers. I am beginning to think its futile to try and explain this to some folks. They either get it or they don't and want to argue.
Obviously you are a great MT and you know what it takes. I have a couple ophthalmology books and can part with one if you want it. E-mail me!
here's what we did -takes awhile, but
if you have a video camera, tape every car that stops at his place and any transactions you might see (you do not have to be outside to do this - through a crack in the curtains/blinds works) take the tape to the cops - they will handle it. Or maybe they already have him set up on a sting....or are on the take. Where do you live city/state-wise?
Takes a few pp's for deducts to come out.
Yep, filled out paperwork first.
Call your supv or better yet call your training coord or payroll people.
That's what they are there for.
I can't do that because it litterally takes my
breath away. It's like I'm smothering. My aunt had wood heat and I couldn't even visit.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
What's the difference if she takes
6 hours to do 8 hours' worth of work, or if she takes a break for 2 hours after she does say 5 1/2 hours, comes back and finishes up her "8 hour" schedule? Would that make you "feel" better? Oy-vey! A day's work is a day's work, but you want ALL of her time. What is the problem? Work ethic? I think not. She has done a FULL days' work in less time than what you would like, so what? If one does 8 hours' work in 6 hours, then anything over her 6 hours would be OT, oh that doesn't count in your book. Would you pay more for her to work OT? I bet not... The only thing she would get for being a good, fast transcriptionist is fired for NOT doing more than her share...niiiiiice... Crazy!
It takes a little while to get used to the lingo, sm
but you'll do fine. Just get in some practice before you start on production. BTW, I've noticed over the years that most of the work services get as "overflow" is ortho and OB/GYN.
I have heard that before but the one that takes the
cake is the one who took the recorder to the bathroom with him.
It takes concentration
Just imagine you are Jessica Rabbit - remember the way she walks? LOL
Mine always takes...
the $ out immediately. Most of the time the transactions show up within an hour or two online. There are times when the $ is taken out but the transactions don't show up for several days, sometimes even a week. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Since it is a holiday weekend, they probably took the $ out already and it hasn't shown up yet. 
$22.00 plus tip, takes 1/2 hour nm

Awww, that takes the fun out of it! sm
I look like a little kid when I eat corn. I just love it. I wind up making a meal out of it. I have butter, salt and pepper on my face and don't bother to wipe it until I am done. Terrible, aren't I? But, it is so yummy.
I have just found that it takes sm
so much more that just the actual typing when you gain your own account. You have to deal with the obtaining your money part, and the phone calls for dictation not in place or they misplaced it. It is great, but there are some downfalls to having your own account.
Try ctrl-Z and see if that takes it away.
Meanwhile, i'll research it. :)
It takes time
It probably seems like it is not worth it because you are new. No other account will be easier and probably harder. So you have to stick with it, get a good Expander as since you have the same doctor you should only be actually typing about 2/3 of what he says and probably more like 50%. Use your autocorrect if you don't have an expander. You don't say how long are your lines -- what side margins and what font are you using? I have helped get newbies started and always paid between 7 and 9 depending on how much clean up work I had to do. Again, it will take time and practice. Don't give up. Though 6 cpl is a little low, if it is still 65 character line, in time you should be able to get 200 to 300 lines per hour which is not bad and once you get him down good, ask for a raise. But you have to get your speed up. You have an advantage of having the same doctor and so listen for his common phrases and put them at least into autocorrect so you don't have to retype them. If he doesd any x-rays or procedures, make templates. Anything to save him time. His exams, put into autocorrect, etc. Are you an IC or an employee??? Good luck.
Mine does that too and it is because it takes
so long to expand that I'm typing the next word. No matter how much I adjust my settings it still doesn't expand fast enough. I used PRD for years and got spoiled I guess. It could expand entire physical exams in the time it takes ShortHand to expand COPD.
It takes me about 8.5 hours...
But I do about 1600 lines per day
It's like learning MT all over again. It takes
