Hilli Dunlap Enteprises (HDE) aka DL Dunlap Enterprises doesn't pay up

Completed two shop within a day for this company at the end of April. Got paid for one of the shops at the end of June. Still haven't been paid for the other shop and it's going on 90 days since the shop was submitted and accepted. Funny how this works...if you don't complete your shops on time, the company will reduce your fee or reject your shop. But they take 3 or 4 months to pay you and there's nothing that can be done about it. Well, I will not be completing any more assignments for this company!

I'm glad for the several posts lately about this company and their slow payment. They have been recruiting for a fast food very close to my office. It would make a nice lunch when I don't have anything else going. This week there are lots of e-mails and they are begging. No way. I don't need to do a fast food that I'm lukewarm about and then experience problems getting paid. I'm staying away. Delete!
They had had issues going back 10 years at least. Feel free to check out their history on the V forum site.

Their plan is to pay only the shoppers who complain and constantly recruit new suckers. I was told this by one of their former schedulers.
I was just about to post what SoCalMama said. Payment problems started over 10 years ago.

The only way I was paid back then was to threaten coming by the office for my money (the office was near my home) and I don't think I have worked for them since they paid me in full around 2004.

LOL Same threat from me, plus I think that I did file with the BBB. I recall suggesting that I would bring a very large and ugly friend with me too. I am fancy now, but back in the day, I did work in the shipyard in the worst part of town.
Don't these companies realize shoppers are comparing notes? I'm new to all this and am reading through all comments on these places and that's been a large deciding factor on who to shop with. Has anyone else had any issues with them since this thread was started?
I did a couple of small jobs for them this year. The first was not paid on time. I emailed the scheduler when I hadn't been paid and was paid immediately. I completed the second job and was paid the same day it was reviewed (so, a couple of days after the job was done).

I don't love that I had to chase down my payment the first time, and the scheduler was very nice and helpful, but he couldn't seem to give me details about the expected payment period for that MSC. I don't mind waiting for payment. If an MSC says they'll pay in 90 days, I might be a little bummed that it's so long, and I might not want to advance a large amount of out of pocket expenses, but if there's a great job that I really want to do, I'll probably take it. But when the company doesn't pay according to any reliable schedule, and payment seems to be made based on when you contact them to follow up on payment, I get nervous. I'm sure if I waited for them to call or email me to submit that report they were expecting, they wouldn't consider me a great shopper. I feel the same way.

Anyway, that was my experience. I'm not crossing them off of my list, but I'm going to be cautious.

Does anyone know where their corporate headquarters are located?

Ten foot pole. Actually all the companies that pay on a 90 day basis are on my 10 foot pole. Really? The report needs to be in within 12 hours and then wait 90 days for payment - that is a big NO for me.
