I have been working for a client named Cara McClure Black for quite awhile… At first she was comedic and funny which isn’t very new really with people that I get to work with online. I have had a few projects with her mainly doing banners and for awhile had the chance to do SEO for her.
She’s been fine despite the delayed payments for a week or so for three months that I’ve worked with her, but I have always been considerate enough with her reasons (which sounded like an excuse to me) not until she asked me to have a project for her son lately whom I have to do several projects with that amounted to about $280.00 which hasn’t been pad yet for running two months now. I have been skeptical with working with her with the last project since her last payment for her SEO requirements were delayed for over a week or so, however since I’ve been dealing with her for quite awhile. I just let it pass instead and considered doing the graphic projects as she required. She’s have had all the promises to even at a point gave me a specific date and yet didn’t cover it and instead told me that she just told me she’s covering it by then so she can shut me up. How professional is that?!! Some conversations we had over the matter hasn’t been saved since she’s never been on Skype a lot lately… if she were i wouldn’t knew but messages from facebook weren’t responded to and of course facebook chatbox doesn’t give you the privilege to save conversation history.
The reason I believe she’s not covering it (though she says the not usage of his son has nothing to do with the payment) is because her son ain’t using them at all, to which i mentioned that if there were any revisions, it could have been done, but over a month with no revision requests simply meant that everything in the project is simply fine… And it makes me wonder why would the “my son ain’t using it” reason would come up after a month? why would that even come up after a month then? I even asked as to why it has to be brought up after a certain period of time if that was the issue after all coz if there were revisions at some point, it could’ve been addressed earlier…
Going through this… i felt totally annoyed as it seems as if I am the one who’s being offensive when I needed to beg for a service I didn’t ask for. And going through the dates since the project started and the reasons she’s giving me, no professional would ever reason out that they have to sell chairs on Craigslist to cover for this and that like and make it sound like it is my problem that I did a project for her after all… To even at this point where it’s already the 7th of May, I still am not getting any decent action over the matter. She’s mentioned she’s covering for the invoice… but i guess i’m not getting it anytime soon. If you were in my shoe, wouldn’t you get angered as well… we all have dues and responsibilities… if you can’t be responsible with people you owe with, how much more can you put credibility on the business you’re proposing to other people… especially in the networking arena where credibility and trust to your upline head counts most.
Till now… I left a message on Facebook chatbox… the only one I’ve done a screen capture of… so far…
