what portion of business contract violations do you find silly? payments within the contracted due dates? you should take the law more seriously. and it's obvious that you stray away from these forums as displayed by the disconnectedness you exhibit between you and your shoppers.

business contract law requires more than trying. it means fulfilling the payment contracts within the represented time periods to avoid illegal misrepresentation of the corporation. you are indeed a corporate representative, and therefore legally responsible via affiliated representation.

we are not remotely concerned with the 1-10% of non-payments that were due to shopper error. we are rather concerned with the 90% of non-payments referenced on this forum which directly reflected corporate misrepresentation.

what types of threats are you referring to? i had sent a legal warning and it was promptly responded to.

although i had contacted the client directly, my shop had not been excluded. you may not be in direct communication with your clients. they already know what's going on, and shoppers continue to contact them directly referencing your misrepresentation. it is virtually the norm at this point.

excluded from what? getting recruited for more non-payed shops? laughable.

you're either very popular (or more likely infamous) or you don't know how to manage your spam folder. have you considered a new email address?

you were not in timely pace with contracted payment requirements even prior to maternity leave. and now you suggest that you're going to get caught up now that you've fallen even more behind? don't blame the baby. blame the corporation.

please don't use all caps. it is considered shouting. did you read the forum guidelines? they are much like shop guidelines. no shortcuts here please.

and we are trying to help you. we have noticed that you require help.

all of these shoppers have put in requests to simply be paid. and all payment requests are special.

yes, this thread, along with others, has alerted you to these payments issues, we're sure. we're glad to point these issues out for the sake of your awareness.

the client has already read these threads. they're way ahead of you. you're the only one who's arrived late here.

that won't be enough. basic legal compliance to contract law is prefered.

you have not displayed this authority in the past. rather, you just recently suggested that you were merely making 'special requests' as you called them to a higher corporate authority. are you now again suggesting that you represent the corporate authority?
> I don't threaten, I TELL IT LIKE IT IS.
you tell it like it was perhaps. but not how it currently is. and again, stop shouting with all caps. it sounds threatening.
> Again, I am trying to help you people.
too little, too late, 'you person'.

we were already telling you what's going on. you arrived late to the party, and are just learning of it now.

let you know what? to stop posting? that sounds like a threat. you can run away if you like, but we'll still be her waiting for you to poke your nose in again. unless you decide to lurk in the background instead before your next appearance.

my account has always been fully updated. i haven't moved for 20 years throughout the duration of my mortgage.

you're suggesting that you have authority to help? do you have authority or don't you? you were making assurances before that the payments would be made. but it hasn't happened yet.
> I just want each and every one

you're offering a personal guarantee? just write personal checks to the shoppers then. your employer will pay you back within 90 days.

glad to hear. we've made progress.

are you suggesting that franchise compliance hasn't paid you either? yes, that has got to be quite frustrating.

not 30 years of contracted business payment misrepresentation, we hope?

sure thing. will we be reimbursed $3000 for the cruise? the economy has been hit hard recently. but if franchise compliance is handing out free cruises, count me in.
