Complaint Review: Contingent Network Services LLC - Hamilton Ohio

Payment by check received from Contingent Network Services 07-09-2009. Late payment 27 days for first job successfully completed. Late payment / partial payment as "paid in full" 16 days late for second job successfully completed. Agreed to saying no further legal action to be taken in order to receive payment. From: Scott Campbell To:Able Al's Sent: Mon, Jun 29, 2009 08:36 AM I have researched the 2 jobs you have completed. One job was completed on 4/24/09 and was due last week. The day you posted this it was at 61 (60+1)days. I will pay that this week. The other job has not been invoiced yet and would not be due until July even if it had been invoiced. In the future you might try to display your frustration (which I was unaware) in a more productive manner. Thank you.

Initially when I accepted job 58707 I was told by Krystal payment by would be made Net 30. Then I was told next by Bob when no payment was received past 30 days that payment would be made Net 60. No payment arrived days after Net 60. Still no payment to date. Initially when I accepted job 59348 I was told by Bob that the work order was to be paid on "fast track payment" and I would receive payment Net 15. When no payment came after Net 15 I spoke with Bob again and was told payment would come by Net 30. Still no payment to date. Job 59348 was not put in your web system for me to upload my paperwork. I was instructed by Bob just to e-mail the completed paperwork directly to Bob. Bob stated he was having you, Scott, issue payment directly from Bob's authorization. Krystal stated when I called last week that job 59348 was showing in your pending payment system. Still no payment to date. When I called last week regarding past due payments Krystal stated she would call me right back after speaking with Bob whom she indicated was close by in the room. She never called back. Upon performing due diligence on Contingent it has come to my attention you have a documented history of not paying for goods and services received in a timely manner. I have spoken directly with a number of other subcontractors whom completed work for Contingent previously to verify payment issues. All of the subcontractors spoken with are willing to provide proof of payment problems from Contingent should this matter need to proceed to court. Payment payable to "Able Al's" must be received for Contingent jobs 58707 and 59348 no later than 07-03-2009. Legal counsel has been retained in Hamilton, Ohio. All affected end users and vendors along with media outlets and other appropriate authorities will be contacted regarding this matter promptly unless payment is received no later than 07-03-2009. Payment will be verified with issuing bank for sufficient funds upon receipt. Thank you for your cooperation, Able Al's From: Scott Campbell To:Able Al's Sent: Mon, Jun 29, 2009 11:15 AM No offense but I don't believe you retained legal counsel. And if you did that would be really silly and pointless. I am sure if you actually had legal counsel in Hamilton or anywhere else for that matter they would tell you that. Your silly threats are nothing more than annoying.
