Complaint Review: THERESA CATANESE C TAYLOR AGENCY - EVANSVILLE Indiana Nationwide

In November 2005 I was hired to do a video shoot for Bristol Scribb by Lori Rosas of the C. Taylor Agency. After 90 days of not receiving payment I contacted Mrs. Rosas and was informed that she had since disassociated herself with the C. Taylor Agency. She had recently found out that the owner, Theresa Cantanese was cashing the checks for all modeling/actor jobs and not paying the talent for their work as agreed per contract. I contacted Mrs. Cantanese myself and was given lies after lies from Feb. 2005-May 2005 via email and phone. She frequently told me that the check was 'in the mail' or that the client had not paid yet and she would have to invoice them again. With the help of Mrs. Rosas who was also a victim of Mrs. Cantanese, I tracked down the receipts of the cashed checks that had been deposited back in January! She was lying for 5 months! I proceeded to file against her in small claims court for everything I was owed, plus interest, mileage, etc. Of course Mrs. Cantanese did not show at the court date in July 2006. However, the judge awarded me the claim since she failed to appear and I had to now re-file for payment. I filed again and was set to go to court again in August when Mrs. Cantanese received her second summons and would be in contempt of court if she failed to show a second time and would have a warrant issued for her arrest. So I suppose she decided it was in her best interest to pay the judgment against her and I received payment for my court judgment the same week I filed against her again. I considered the matter at rest until I have recently found out that she continues to do unethical business practices and withhold wages to talent. She is telling the same lies and cashing money from clients that is to be paid to the talent. She owes thousands of dollars in unpaid wages to talent all over the country. Do not get involved with this agency because you will never receive payment unless you take legal action against her. She frequently threatens people who speak out against her with slander lawsuits, however we have yet to see her take anyone to court because she knows she will have to answer why she has not paid her talent. I also spoke with Robert Vega of the U.S Dept. of Wages and Labor and he told me not to worry about such idle threats. Slander is considered FALSE words spoken to damage someone's good name. You can consider these charges to be true because I have documented proof from a court of law that Mrs. Cantanese does not pay for work done for the C. Taylor Agency! I also have emails from Mrs. Cantanese herself trying to lie to me about my wages when I had a cashed check receipt in hand proving otherwise. I thought that my lawsuit would teach her a lesson but I guess not because I am starting to hear about people all over the country who are victims of Mrs. Cantanese and her agency. The only action I would recommend is to take the agency to court for your unpaid wages and try to warn others about doing business with this agency. This agency needs to be put out of business for good! Natasha Columbia, Tennessee U.S.A.

Theresa, honestly do you think you should be volunteering? Maybe you should get a part time job and pay those you STILL HAVE NOT PAID! Its really sad to want or hint for praise for something that should come from your heart and not from some blog wanting to recognized as a good person. Alot of people volunteer but they dont announce it to the world because it is done in good faith, nor do they want to be rewarded for doing something good for others. This is no surprise that you would post All the good will work you do. While the other side of you is keeping & spending money that is not yours to keep. Did you think these models worked for you for charity? to pay your agencies electric bill. You speak for yourself and you seem to think what you did to these models was their fault. when in reality you volunteered not from the goodness of your heart but to be boast about it on your blog on myspace. You are really sick! No, you are what you are! A THIEF, LIAR, A STEALER, no different than a robber that breaks into homes and takes something that is not theirs, so no matter how you word it you have taken more than a pencil or pen. you knew what you were doing and you were hoping it would go away but it did not. GOTCHA! It all caught up with you and your lying deceitful ways back fired. so in reference to theresa blog below on her myspace- can we all vomit now???? I've been a good person. I volunteer ALL the time. There's the Potter's Wheel Ministry, food drives, clothing drives, my church, Easter Seals, Muscular Dystrophy, etc. I am volunteering at least 6 hrs a week somewhere. I'm good - right? I try to do good whenever I can. The Word of God says that our righteousness is like filthy rags. (that's the Theresa Catanese version, by the way) No matter what we do - it's not good enough. There's nothing we can do physically that will ever be good enough.
