it is bigger equipment and expensive. AND they never worked so I did not owe them any money. Some were so "anxious" to work that I spent a small fortune sending it overnight so they could "get started" because they really needed to work. I want to believe in the best of people, but it is getting harder and harder.

How do I go about getting money owed me
by a small MTSO. She owes me a little over $2000 and I really worked hard for that money but have not yet gotten received it. This is owed me for pay periods ending 4/30 through 05/31. I will not mention names here because I'm not sure I am allowed to do that but would really like to let everyone know who it is so the same thing doesn't happen to them. Thanks for your help.
If someone owed me money since October, I would tell them that I
was not doing any more work for them until they paid me. Hope you did not do the stat for them.
Anybody hired a lawyer to get money owed from MTSO?
I have given MTSO 7 days to finally pay an old invoice but still nothing. Has anybody ever hired a lawyer to write a demand letter and how much did it cost? I believe I have to send demand letter before filing in small claims. The invoice is for just over $200 so don't want to spend a lot of money and be out even more $$.
thanks.
I have definitive proof from the MT that the money is owed. The MT is also taking action
on her part to get the unpaid wages compensated by the owner through the Labor Board.
The problem is getting an attorney to represent these poor folks that are owed money.
Knowing etranz, they'll just file bankruptcy.
I work on Escription platform and the adapter didnt work for me. I tried it on my laptop though
and the foot pedal would just not play correctly with the adapter. I think others have tried it and done it but it just didnt work for me.
That didnt work out right! Sorry.. NM

wonder why my email didnt work??
That makes me wonder, I have been getting emails lately, it should be working.
it just sounds like they didnt want to work with you anymore
I wouldnt let it get me down. I dont feel like you should go back to school. It takes time to do the more difficult doctors. Unless you did not go to school and do good. Only you know how well you learned and whether or not you feel comfortable with doing transcription.
I think this lady was aggravated and took it out on you. Dont give up.
Keep your chin up. This is a tough field.
I didnt ask for ANYTHING. Merry Christmas and watch your back when u work for a national.
thats MY point.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.

Money with no work
Sit down and analyze the situation and you'll figure it out. I know where you're coming from and I've done that.
I think they mean they don't pay what is owed
I used to work for somebody who did this. They sent the work to India and they worked for free for about 3-4 months without getting paid (yeah, they kept working) and then they would move on to the next company.
That kind of money is what has sent work overseas, IMO.

Hard 2 make money with no work.
I'm glad you think you are owed that much.
I have rarely seen such a ludicrous response as yours.
No moneys owed
Well the problem is........ she is not owed any other moneys.
I have been in business a long time and have always paid the ICs. Doris Latta loves to have drama going. THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING! Where is it?
You should be paid what is owed...
I am glad you are not letting this go and posts like this should remind companies that when you receive a service you have to pay for it. I have had trouble getting paid from other places too, and I am glad you are going after what is rightfully yours. Best of luck to you!
Does anyone else earn extra money at home doing something along with MT work?
I need some ideas. Fall is coming and I will have some extra time and getting burned out on MT.
Yes because i will be spending money i don't have and won't earn anything with work decreasing
;
Depending on who you work for.... you can make good money
I usually average between $15-25 an hour doing VR. That is enough for me. I think it helps if you have companies that pay for footers, headers, spaces etc.. Good luck.
No, they sent me a check for 2 cents saying they owed it to me. lol
I had better decide where to spend it
I once owed $34,000.00 in back taxes
and set up a repayment schedule, had the money taken out. They did not take all my check, just a small amount, as long as they were paid every month, and it took me over 7 years, but I finally paid them off. They were very, very cooperative and we told that what we could afford to pay them monthly and still pay our bills. They said okay and that was that. I never had any problem with them and I never went to one of those places. Maybe try talking with them and explain your situation.
Your $4K cost you $900?? I just did my taxes and on $7182 I owed - sm
$1099 in SE taxes, are you sure you figured it out right? I can't believe my taxes for almost 2 x as much were only $200 or so more than yours. Something does not seem right.
They at least owed you a call/email stating they would not -
After being in contact with an applicant, having them fill out a form, etc., it's just plain rude to give them no feedback whatsoever. What if an applicant let another job pass by while waiting for this one, thinking it was a better job and that because things had gone well on the phone conversation, that the application process would at least continue. Very unfair to you, and very rude of the employer.
I understand... But I will not lose money by doing free work because she chooses to bill (sm)
will a method that requires me to give away free work. I will politely explain my position when we have our meeting. If push comes to shove, I will tell her that I will switch to her method of line counting, but I will need 9 cpl rather than 8 cpl. If she won't do it, I will give my notice.
Thanks for the input! I appreciate your time!
oil field pers a "per diem" which is a set amt of money they get to show up for work that day,

My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though

Send me the proof of the over $1900.00 that is owed. If you can prove to me
that you paid that amount, then all posts will be removed. I am not talking about any previous monies paid, but the last monies owed of over $1900.00.
BK does not cover student loans or IRS owed monies. bummer.

7 cpl gross and counts blank lines, IC status-- make a ton of money because it's easy work...nm

Ditto on Voice Systems. I have a friend who worked for them and ended up being owed .... SM
way more than $1000 when the first company went bankrupt. Also I had applied but decided not to take the job, and the MTSO literally begged me to come to work for them. I'm sure glad I didn't. Maybe this present company they've started will be better, but so far, it doesn't sound like it.
No, she didnt but so what if she did?
She was self supporting. She didnt take anything from anyone or go on the system.
i didnt see that.
what was the report?
How do you know that she didnt get ....
the newest edition out used??? I agree with it being worthless after a while but you can get used books that are the newest editions.
She didnt say they
were paying production. Probably an hourly rate position. Wipe off the drool. they ain't no fool.
Didnt Seem Rude
You didnt seem rude to me at all. You adressed exactly what I was looking to get more info about. Should I even invest in the training, and if so what was the best way to go? Was MT even something I should get into? Sounds like more bang than I want to get tied up in so I appreciate your reply! Thanks!!
DH now knows reality of my job, didnt at first.

Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
Why didnt your ancestors stay?
Why didnt your ancestors stay wherever they came from? What a horrible statement. We are all descendant from another country, unless we are American Indian. I know two doctors who live here and do help in their home countries. One from South Africa, the other from Mexico. One goes back each year to hold clinics where they operate on children.
Nixon didnt declare war
Lyndon Johnson stepped up the fighting in Vietnam, we were there back in the 1960's. Pressure was put on Nixon from the courageous and so right protestors to end our participation in a wrong war a war we were in because we didnt want the South Vietnamese to become communist, which happened anyway. The protests at Kent State were peaceful except some students started throwing rocks at inexperienced guardsmen. The guardsmen were called before the protest to keep calm on campus, which is something that should never be done and was never done before. You do not turn military against student protestors. You do not use military to guard Americans, that is what police are for. Only during Martial Law can you have military take over American streets. We have a right to protest. When the students saw the guardsmen, some threw rocks. The guardsmen then shot their guns. Trust me, this is how it went. It is burned into my psyche.
Thank you. I didnt know if there were a lot of parts to assemble.

Didn't have to do much of that (didnt really mind that
part of the job, though). Just didn't like working 11-7, hated the fact that with being responsible for so many patients, I felt like I wasn't giving any of them very good care.
Vets were I worked didnt want to pay for MT. Had

Are you sure she didnt mean strap, like black

Didnt know we have our own country now of Georgia!
I love my country(and state).
You're working to make money, not to spend money.
These people should be ashamed of themselves taking advantage of people this way!
I also blew some money signing up with Quixtar... The only way to make any money is to bug everyone
you know into signing up. I felt like a snake oil huckster. I hated it. I was flushing money down the toilet from the moment I handed over my money.
RUN, do not walk away! I do an entirely different side business now that I really love (in addition to my MTing, which I also love!) Find something you're good at and that you truly love doing. Then make a business out of it. That's the best way to have a side business. Selling discount toilet paper through Amway/Quixtar? Not so much.
